there is...a house...

-

yeah i was listening to some classic rock tunes including the Animals "House of the Rising Sun"
while i was painting this piece of terrain for my wild west collection.

but anyways back in july i purchased a ramshackled house from Renedra Limited and when
i started to build it the first thing i thought was damn this thing is small.
i got a little worried but then i've seen movies where folks in the wild west lived in
small homes and such, so i just put it in the back of my mind.

i painted it based on how it is displayed on the box,
mainly grays and light drybrush.
i actually didn't want much color on it because i wanted to keep the feel of how
decrepit and ruined it is.

when i went to paint the chimney i used a light shade of red oxide for the bricks.
i went back over it with a black wash and then once dried,
a very light drybrush of some light gray. 

a spirit haunts the grounds of an old run down home.

with the fear of the house being too small after it was built i placed some of my western
figures from Great Escape Games and i think they fit pretty well with it.


"if that damn sheriff shows his face around here,
i got a few with his name on it."

    Excellent looking building, and there is enough color difference between the different materials.
    It's amazing how small old buildings are, when I visited the Spanish fort in Florida, I actually had to duck to see through the arrow slit, and my shoulders were too wide for the entrance ! LOL

      thanks, the size had me all worried.
      i visited some old places in Lancaster PA and i had to go up the stairs sideways because they were not wide enough or i was too big. haha.

    That looks excellent. The painting is just right (and many folk get old wood wrong - you should do a tutorial).
    It looks great with your Western minis

      thank you very much,
      i was just trying to paint it like it was on the packaging.

      i mean i only used four colors.

assortment of eldritch creatures

for sometime now i bought a few packs of core spawn crawlers from Wizkids through their Critical Role miniature line, but i really didn't know what color scheme i wanted to go with. and after some time of really getting tired of looking at them unpainted, i just threw some light brown and some green on them. what's nice about these is that three come in a pack of different poses so i got two packs. there is also a core spawn emissary and a core spawn seer i would love to also get and maybe a few more crawlers to create a nightmare for my D&D group. three different poses from one pack isn't that bad. i have to say the poses are all nicely animated. the ravenous brood of everything that is creepy and threatening.  little Posie Pocketfull stares down what could be just her imagination. to expand my collection of scatter pieces for my dungeon sessions, i purchased a box set of Mantic Games Haunted Manor plastic set. and in this set there are several different creatures that...

operation MotU: miscellaneous characters V

  i have taken a break from painting MotU figures for a short time, i wanted to finish some D&D and wild west miniatures before i get some heavy duty painting time for the next leg of operation MotU, the villainous Anti Eternians.  found a website where i can read comic books online, thought i would look for any MotU comics and came across a limited series called  He-Man and the Masters of the Multiverse. and while reading it i kinda got inspired and took a few of the spared figures of the Evil Warriors and repaint a He-Man figure and created a small band of "heroic characters." with some different color schemes using the comic book as a resource, i have to admit these were fun to paint. i can't wait to paint the villainous Anti-Eternians and get them on the tabletop.  not sure what he was called in the comic book but from what i've seen online, there is a MotU Origins action figure called He-Skeletor.  same color scheme from the comic book and the toy, i fi...
