In my ongoing quest to acquire OOP Forge World terrain I ended up with two of the Wood Cutters Cottages. One I purchased a year or so ago was still mint in box and I have built that stock. The other came poorly assembled by the previous owner complete with a fairly thick splash of paint and has been sat on a shelf awaiting some inspiration... and inspiration has struck! I have decided to turn this "spare" one into a Merchants Cottage. The main structure will remain as is but I have removed the wood pile and axe (as seen in the stock picture below) and attached the cottage to a beveled MDF base. I used a section of fence from GW's "Walls & Fences" kit and then selected some resin accessories to help change the look from "Wood Cutter" to "Merchant". A full product review for these bits and info on where you can purchase them will follow in a future article. Here is the current progress:

| First try. Looks ok I guess... |

| Bingo! We have a winner. |
And as always, here is an appropriate song for this post:
Sellsword - Merchants of Menace
You using polyfiller to blend the cottage with the mdf or is this some other magical substance? Looking great though mate and love a bit of sellsword!
ReplyDeleteCheers Man! :) atm its just "No Nails" attaching it to the base. Its fairly good at gap filling also but will be busting out some filler to level out the base. Pics to follow ;)
