How to Build a 28mm Farmhouse
Ойындар
In this week's "Two Minute Terrain Tip," Greg teaches you how to model the farm buildings seen in the Princeton wargame episode. Specifically, these are the houses and barns for the William and Thomas Clarke farms. This scratch-building technique is simple and budget friendly, allowing you to make your own buildings suitable for 15mm, 20mm, or 28mm scales using cork, cardboard, and paper.
If you missed the Princeton wargame, remember to watch that out at • Terrific Princeton War...
All the hand-painted miniatures seen in our Princeton wargame are Fife & Drum Miniatures. Our club has used Fife & Drum for years to do all of our colonial-era battles. You can see their full range at fifeanddrum-minis.com

An effective and impressive technique, have to try this one day, nice vid!
Keep these coming guys! Love it.
Thank you Greg, very cool!
I enjoyed this tutorial thanks for sharing as I think it will be useful for future projects.
Super good video and the idea with the cork I find wonderful. The chimney I would rather attach before and then only attach the roof shingles, otherwise the chimney would be visually on the roof shingles.
I have an even cheaper solution, ruling out the use of hot melt gun. Use ordinary cardboard of various thickness and elmers glue for the entire process. Paint with watercolor and use a marker for creating board frames as well as matchsticks from hobby store to use as door and window frames.
Awesome work
Great tutorial, very helpfull. Thanks for sharing.
Always good to see more buildings made from cork :) 0:47 In my experience, if you put your end walls outside your side walls the angle of the roof slopes to meet the outside top edge of the side wall, not the inside one and removes the need to chamfer the side wall to match the roof slope.

Great advice from the true master of cork tile terrain! Just want to say I've admired your work for years.

Thanks, that's kind of you to say so.
That was pretty cool! I like the technique, but as you said, tedious. I found those tedious tasks tend to pay out pretty good. Thanks for the quick vid.
nice roofing technique, wish I had thought of that before, oh well, guess Ill try it out next time I'm doing roofs.
Herb Gundt uses tree wrap for his roof shingles. He cuts out a strip of paper tree wrap and then layers it onto the roof in the same manner as you did. Then he takes a brown Sharpie and draws vertical line to make the individual roof shakes. The tree wrap is a sort of tan-brown so it doesn't need to be painted.

Caledonian well well, then you will enjoy our upcoming single malt videos!! Little Wars Josh here. I’ve been to Culloden and Inverness and enjoyed the countryside of Scotland immensely. Top drams indeed!!

Super work. Could you provide the sizes in inches you used?
Great tutorial. A normal person could build a real house in the time it would take me to do that, but great tutorial 😊

leejames929 Do you mean something like this? 😃 kzread.info/dash/bejne/p56DsrKLf9PIf9Y.html
I tryed it an builded my own house. I never builded a modell house so fast and easy. Yey
I would love to see you build the Carter cotton gin at the battle of franklin 1864
Are the measurements for these buildings available on your website?
This was a great video! I have a model railroad and have been wanting to model my home town. Do you think these techniques would be good for a model train town? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Certainly, yes. Some of these techniques get harder as you go down to N scale and below (in model train talk). For HO and O scales they should be perfect. There are other building techniques that would produce better results in N, Z, or TT scales.

Do you know the measurements for clapboard siding in ho scale? I am not really sure how to do this. There are several older homes in my town that I would like to model. Thanks for any tips you can give me. Keep up the good work!
That cork almost looks like stone. Maybe with a color wash you could make a stone house?
You should do a battle of Stalingrad
Could I ask how thick is the cork tile you use please?
