I had been asked to make two Hobbit Holes using the Forgeworld fronts. This was way back before the lockdown, so its taken a while for Forgeworld to get back to work and enable me to buy the components. The customer had seen some of my earlier builds and wanted me to make them look lived in and to split the front so they were not flat. So here are a few pictures of the builds....
The parts as them come from Forgeworld . Decent quality castings with little or no air bubbles, and nicely packaged
The first variant of resin front..
The second variant..
The first build was similar to one of my earlier ones, so i set about cutting the front to make space for one of my resin cast chimneys
Some Wills plasticard and Balsa gave me this...
Then some Wills planking cut into small strips was used for the roof shingles....
Here is the front primed and ready for the next part of the process (the chimney top is to be added during the next part of the build)...
The second build used the other variant of the resin fronts, this time splitting the front by incorporating a log store. Two vertical cuts at stategic places with a bit of balsa and Wills plasticard gave me this...
Different angle with some of my resin logs (taken out to make painting easier)
To add a bit of variety this time i used thick card for the shingles, here it is primed and ready for the next stage of the build....
I hope you like the pictures, part two will follow shortly...
