Laketown House Prototype WIP (Picture Heavy)

Image result for laketown



Hi all.

Happy 1st of the month. So it has been a long time since a post went up on here. For myself that's as a result of going through the whole process of buying a house with my partner and all the stuff that goes along with that. So I didn't have much chance to get much painting done for a while. 

(This could be a long post so if you require refreshments or anything now would be the time)

However on and off I have managed to work on another project. As you may have guessed from the title I have been working on my own Laketown House for my Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit models. So this project that I have started on is a culmination of a few things. Firstly, myself and my girlfriend spent a lot of time watching through all the extra features on the extended editions of the LotR and Hobbit films. I had seen the LotR ones before but had never found time to watch the Hobbit ones. As I watched I kept getting little bits of inspiration and seeing so many people working with such dedication to something they really cared about must also have rubbed off. And secondly, thanks to Zebulon, I came across the Youtube channel of The Terrain Tutor (some of you will no doubt be aware of his work. If not I highly reccomend checking him out, link here) where I started to pick up all kinds of useful terrain techniques. Thirdly I was inspired by the scenery work Zebulon himself has done recently for his 40k collection.

Zebulon's Scenery Splurge: Forgotten Industrial Shrine


Hi all,

I'm back again with my second scenery piece, this time it's a forgotten shrine.  I thought that as the Imperium is so large and the hive cities are so large there would be memorials that were built and have been totally forgotten about as areas have been abandoned or declined and taken over by the lower hive gangs. 

I thought this was a good opportunity to make something that would stand out a lot compared to the rest of the pieces, but also look more neglected than the rest

Zebulon's Scenery Splurge: Industrial Pumping Tower

 Hi all,

I'm back again with my latest projects, this time focusing around scenery. I've had a really good fun of ideas for scenery lately and this is just the first post of my terrain efforts! First off a pumping tower/silo.......

Hobby: Low Defences On A Budget

 Hey all,
continuing my super cheap terrain defences theme, I built these low barricades. I imagined that these would be something that would have been built in an emergency by the PDF or the Imperial Guard, hence why they're wooden and not rockrete or plasteel or anything like that, quite fitting for the game we're having today as its a Tyranid invasion! Here's how I did them:
