Project Log: Altburg - Townhouse I, Part 16 - Final Showcase

And with all of the details done this long journey comes to an end! 🍺 I am very happy with the final result, the house turned out just how I envisioned it in my head 10 months ago when I started building the model.

In the end I decided to add even more color to the model by painting the plaster on the second floor in dark blue color and red and white stripes pattern on the window shutters. The red and white pattern for the shutters was a good call in my opinion. They make a model look really striking.

This is the first model that will be featured on my Altburg display/gaming board. Now its time to wrap it up and move to another project. So without further ado, here are the photos of the final piece:

Until the next time, cheers guys! 🍻

Project Log: Altburg - Townhouse I, Part 15

So this is where I'm at with the house at the moment. I have finished the lower part of the balcony as well as the cargo room and protruding window. Interiors are also finished.

Currently I am working on the roof and must say that this is the first time I am 100% satisfied with the way it is turning out. I always struggled to achieve that weathered look on the shingles and was never totally satisfied with the result. Now I finally have the formula! :) I have used nine different colors to get the desired look, ranging from grey and purple to brown and green.

I will be adding a bit of moss at the end. Here is a real life example of the look I am going for:

After the roof there are only some details for me to paint and this project will be finished! :)

For the plaster on the first floor I decided to go with the reddish terracotta color to break the monotony a little bit. I really like how it turned out. I am even thinking about adding different color to the second floor, maybe green or blue, but I will see about that. I have to paint the balcony, little cargo room on the back and protruding window on the side first.

The moment has finally come to paint the house! :) I've been looking forward to it for quite some time. I finished the ground floor and I'm pleased how it turned out. I decided to do color variations between the stones a bit more subtle than usual. For some reason it looks more urban to me and thus fits better to the townhouse. I also didn't want to overdo with vegetation, for the same reason (which wasn't easy) :).

The ground floor is still missing all the details, like lanterns, doors, sign, shutters, etc.

Now, on to the upper floor! :)

And at last, after several months of work, here is the finished house in all it's glory! I deserve a beer. 🍺 :) It was supposed to be a personal project initially, but I later decided it would be a shame not to put it into production and make it available. This was a long journey but I am really happy how the model turned out. 

So here are the photos of final model cast in resin. It is available at Tabletop World. 

Now I have to bring it to life with some paints! I think I'm really going to enjoy painting it. :)
