10mm Scale Farm

[Keeper]

Well, I say Farm, but I am not sure if this is a farm, or a wizards tower, or an inn, or quite what it is.  I picked it up cheap in my local gaming store and its marked 15/15 on the base. But that is all I know!

It seems to be approximately 10mm scale, but regardless, I've really enjoyed painting this building, and I'm happy with the way its come out.  Now, I really must get around to painting some Warmaster, or something else 10mm so I can use this building! :D

You comments and criticism are most welcome.

Is it stonecast rather than resin?

I think I remember who made those... its on the tip of my brain... A&A buildings ?

I think I recognise the style.

They are a pig to paint and make look good,  you have done an excellent job

[dargrin]

Wow 10mm.   That's allot if detail from something so small.  I like what you did.  Sweet find and a fantastic paint job.

:clap2:

I can see farm. It kind of looks like a metal roof silo.

Thanks chaps :)  I should have included some scale, but FYI, the front door is exactly the same height as a 1p piece or a 1c piece.

@Bungle: I'm not sure what stonecast is, but the material is kinda a litle plaster-of-paris, but quite a lot harder and not at all brittle or crumbly and it is almost the colour of Citadel Bleached Bone.  When painting it, I also found it to be quite a 'thirsty' material - sucking up and drying the paint really quite quickly.  It sort-of reminds me of the casts of my teeth they took when I was a teenager to see if I needed braces.

My google-fu is not strong enough to find any reference to A&A buildings (well, not a relevant one, anyway!), but I'm more than happy to bow before you're superior knowlegde with these scales ;)

@Theomar: I was thinking of the 70s (80s?) Flash Gorden film and the way the rocket ship blasts out of the building at the start as I was panting this dome :)

That is stonecast. It almost rings when you flick it on smaller pieces, and could be made from dental plaster (stonecast is a trade name I think)

A&A building don't have a website. I think it is a Russian 15mm Church (onion dome on the tower)

Address   2 Princess Road
Seaham, Co. Durham
SR7 7SP, UNITED KINGDOM
Products   15mm and 25mm plaster buildings from TMP

I bought a load at one time, and gave up in disgust at the pain that they were to paint about 6 undercoats were needed.

Well done again

Thanks Bungle - I only just had chance to reply.

I googles the postcode and a I get a lot of stuff about dentists!!

Did you write to A&A Buildings then, to get a catalogue?

[Bungle]

No I picked one up at a show.

Looks great mate but more like a factory than a farm to me, from the back anyway.  Looks more like a concealed telescope\observation building from the other angles.  You could have it as a mad professors hot air balloon launching site too as the dome could be the top off the balloon and you enter below it in the building.

Its not 100% like anything so makes it a lot more versatile to use, I like it  :clap2:

[Keeper]

Yeah, I kept thinking of the Flash Gordon movie when I was painting it ;)
