Decorating Wargaming Buildings: Furniture, Rubble & Weathering (Part 3 of 3)

Ойындар

In the final part of this three part series, I’m adding furniture and rubble to my battle damaged buildings to help bring them to life and give them that lived in look. Finally, I’m weathering all of the buildings including the Cafe De Normandie to give them that realistic grimy war and weather worn look that I’m aiming for.

    Looking very good now. Some ideas worth using myself like the broken glass and rubble dust.

    when I was a boy I remember seeing a film in class about WWII it was footage of Stalingrad and other bombed out city's as a boy it just flowed over me just another 'film' but then I saw a upper floor bathroom a bath tub. a loo and a medicine cabinet above it still standing on a small section of floor. That was what hammered home to me that this was someone home it was real not just a 'film' .

    I know what you mean, it brings it home that real people just like us lived there. I like to build it into my terrain too as makes games so much more immersive. Thanks for watching🙂

    Hi Chris, the ruined furniture is a great touch. They look great. These buildings are shaping up nicely.

    Been looking forward to this one, like the broken glass idea. Match sticks cut up with EMT shears (heavy duty scissors) and stirred up with some burnt sienna paint makes handy ‘bricks’. Laid out carefully you can get an effectively flat floor and I add some strips of thin card timber fragments and a door made from thin card, smooth enough for Airfix soldiers to stand on with their own little bases. Did you buy the 3D printed bits ready made, if so where from? In the 1970s I bought some Bachman model railway ‘interiors’ (very ‘American’) but they were expensive so I started making my own furniture. Did a set for a lad about 20 years ago with some ruined cottages and ended up having to make an extra intact furnished cottage for his Mum. The pots and pans in the kitchen were lengths of paper straw with thin brass wire handles and a spot of epoxy putty to get a flat bottom. Plates were postcard cut with a hole-punch and then pressed into a scrap of rubber with the domed end of a pencil. A couple of mugs were cig paper wound around a pin and glued with a strip of printer paper for the handle (also good for hollow mortar barrels with thin paperclips bent up for the bi-pod). Three cocktail sticks glued together and cut to length with paper strips near each end makes a fairly convincing discarded British mortar bomb carrier (if keen you can add a paper handle on one edge).

    Thanks Mike, like you I normally make my own furniture from old sprues, mdf left overs and anything I can recycle. These were a present a while back, I think they were from Warlord Games. Recently I’ve been focusing on that backlog of gaming purchases and presents that have build up, while moving home and working on other projects. It’s helping with my space issues and saving on money too, I think I’ve had those 3D furniture bits for about two years😂. Love your modelling ideas mate, you should start up a KZread channel, I’d watch😉
