I liked the look of Glenn's Waterloo buildings so much that I purchased a sizable haul of Leven Miniatures buildings for myself, both from their Napoleonic and Civil War lines.
I started with a Civil War building, the Codori house and barn (or carriage house). Pickett's Charge passed right through this property, or at least Pettigrew's troops did.
The house had a white picket fence enclosing a small yard. I cut some plasticard to a height of 3mm, then painted three tones up to a white. I think it makes a convincing picket fence.
I'm still refining my approach for buildings this small, but I am reasonably happy with how this one turned out. Before I tackle Hougoumont, I'll perfect my technique on a number of these smaller sets.
Love the fence. Leven buildings are very good - I must have at least 20 of them!
ReplyDeleteI have you beat, but I have to get them all painted! They do look very nice indeed.
DeleteTurned out great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon! I'll keep at the ACW buildings for a bit.
DeleteThat turned out really well, nicely done.
