Something big is cooking! I'm gonna be building an epic display table which will include all of the current TabletopWorld buildings as well as those released in the future! The idea is to build the board, tile by tile, making each tile a standalone diorama. The board will be designed in a way that it can extend indefinitely, and hopefully one day we at the Tabletop World will need a dedicated room just to display this project. The Town of Altburg will be set in Autumn and will lean toward the grim-dark aesthetics. It will feature both the rural outskirts and the town inside the city walls. The plan is to document this years long project with lots of photos, videos and tutorials on how I build and paint the board. To get a sense of atmosphere we are going for, here is the first building I painted for the board – Townhouse II from the Midgard range.
That said, the two Altburg townhouses I already painted in more of a fantasy style do not fit aesthetically into this project, so I'm gonna repaint some of their parts in the dark medieval style. :)Saturday, September 24, 2022

Project Log: Altburg - Townhouse II, Part 6 - Showcase
Here are the photos of the house from all sides:
The interior is also fully modeled and playable. Each floor can be removed to access the rooms:
I'll be posting a painting tutorial on how I paint dark timber and terracotta plaster very soon.

Project Log: Altburg - Townhouse II, Part 4
I have finally finished adding the plaster and exposed stone to the plain surfaces inside the timber frame. Next step is to fill all the small gaps between plaster and timber with modeling putty. I will be changing the balcony. This one seams a bit to fancy. I think I'll make a more massive, wooden variant that will fit the house much better.

Project Log: Altburg - Townhouse II, Part 3
Moving on with the house. I have finished the roof, all timber work and the chimney. The build is basically done. Next I will be adding plaster to the walls. After that I will be doing interiors and adding final details. :) Only thing I am not completely satisfied with is the balcony. I might change its design.
