Apologies for the recent lack of updates; after quite a few months of health problems (I had to undergo 3 knee surgeries, and the healing was really slow) I went back to work two weeks ago. After all those months of mostly doing nothing, a full time job is wearing me out a little, so I haven't done a whole lot of painting. Others have been doing some work for me however...
Last friday I received a nice package from Pennsylvania; two buildings built for me by Rusty Gouldman, a member of the Facebook Oldhammer group. While discussing a trade he mentioned he was available for commissions on buildings and after seeing a picture I was quite impressed and ordered two buildings.
Both are entirely scratchbuilt, and what is even cooler is that they are based on the old Townscape templates released in 1988, which gives them the perfect Oldhammer look. The detailed bases and all the little extras just add a nice final touch. I'm quite pleased with this purchase, and I'll probably get a few more to get a complete village. They make a great addition to my terrain collection, and might see some use as early as next week if I manage to get a game with my brother before he leaves for Japan.
Three! how many knees do you have?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, nice looking buildings that will be a credit to any table.
Hahaha all three on the same knee! Not the most amusing last few months...at least my main hobby is painting, and not something like skiing or soccer ;-)
DeleteI've started building them from the templates in WD 140+something but seeing them as they are here, I really need to get back on them ! Splendid, I really feel it's a pity to have wonderful models on shitty tables. That won't be your case ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Its amazing how often you see fantastic armies moving on tables filled with cardboard forests and hills made of books! Makes no sense to me...
DeleteVery nice looking buildings.
