Here is the first Westfalia Miniatures Goat rider painted up. I present to you Hugo von Ueckendorf on his war goat “Attila”. Ueckendorf is a part of modern Gelsenkirchen but it is one of the oldest parts of the city mentioned as far back as 1200. Hugo carries the arms of modern Ueckendorf on his shield. The shield is freehand.
Next up Hugos warriors!
The next project I started , apart from the halfmen army, is this medieval public house. It can certainly be used for fantasy games ,too. When finished it will have a stable and an outhouse added. I used styrodur , an extruded polystyrene, toothpicks and teddy bear fur for building. First I build all the walls of the first and second floor and inscribed the detail of the wood into the door and wooden beams as well as all the stonework in the window and door arches as well as in the chimney.
The next step was the assembly of the walls and the floors. The base is a piece of MDF.
In the pictures you can also see the beginning of the construction of the roof.
Next I mixed some filler with black gesso and painted all the walls , in between the beams and around the windows and door. When dry you get a nice rough surface like seen in lime washed buildings.
Next step is to glue on the teddy bear fur on the roof to simulate thatch. This is only glued on at the moment, it needs to be straitened out a bit and has to be painted with a PVA mix later .
Here are some close ups of the wood and stone structures:
More when I have done a bit more work on it!
Here is the last missing halfman. The Banner bearer . The banner will be added at a later time:
And here is the completed unit:
Next up will be Hugo von Ueckendorf and his mesnie.
And another halfman with a weapon swop . again a Perry plastic weapon head instead of the original weapon.
So now only the Banner bearer missing to complete the unit . The next unit will be the Mesnie of Hugo von Ueckendorf.
Here are the next two halfmen:
More in the next days.
Here is the next halfman. Sorry for the blurry picture somehow my camera failed on me 😦
I swoped the weaponhead of the original figure with a helebard head from a perry plastic set to get more diversity in the unit here is the original and the changed figure next to each other:
Halftime only 5 more to do!
I managed to finish 2 more halfmen for the militia unit at the weekend:
Hope you like what you see!
So after coming back from Crisis I managed to finish the next Westfalia halfman for my militia unit in Dietrich von Schalkes halfmen army. Here he is:
I hope you like him. Next one will be done after the coming weekend maybe I even manage to do more then one as these figures can be painted quite quickly.
Here is the next Halfman finished . He will be the last before I go to Antwerp for Crisis 2016 tomorrow.
Next Halfman next week then and expect an extensive convention report about crisis. See you there !
