U.S. Male Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Here are the first pictures of my gremlin village. I want to base them up and make a bunch of water features, but leave it all modular. This is the first time I've tried something like this, but I am really happy with my results so far.

GreenRiveter Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Fantastic, not just for a first time, but period! I love Malifaux's use of different terrain types,and you nailed the swamp building look. If you've never worked with water effects before, read A LOT of online how to's. It can be some tricky stuff, and if you use the wrong type, can end up yellowing(although for a swamp that may not be a bad thing). Keep posting pics, I'd love to see these completed.

Amarath Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 These look really good, i especially like the building with the barrel atop the tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderwiggin Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Very nicely done for what looks to be a low cost project! Amaranth pegged my favorite little bit as well. That barrel makes a great shower(?) bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.S. Male Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'm glad you guys liked the barrel. I love that detail. It's actually a barrel of hooch. That's why there's s pipe running out the bottom and down to the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 It's actually a barrel of hooch. That's why there's s pipe running out the bottom and down to the window. Speaking of that, has anyone found a bit for a still or tried to build one (a model one, not a real one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.S. Male Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I haven't seen distillery pieces. But I was thinking of using a dollhouse bathtub for a redneck distillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBugKing Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 http://www.rustyrail.com/OMiniScenesCastings.htm Towards the bottom of the page RRMS-O-03 Having looked at this there is a very simple found item equivalent. Children's medicin cups. You want the ones with the measurements on the inside. Take two cups. Cut the top section off of one. Glue them together to create the still. Use a piece of plastic tube with some Kneadatite (greenstuff) to plug the ends and add that to the top. Add some wire to one end of the tube and you are done.

Omenbringer Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Aside from making your own Woodland Scenics puts out this mini scene as well. Not sure of the scale though (probably HO which might look just about right for a Gremlin moon shiner). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.S. Male Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I knocked out my paint test on the outhouse. I think it turned out pretty good and I should be able to paint up the rest of the houses easily with this technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Looks good though I might add a wash of either GW Chestnut ink (if you have it) or the Vallejo Flesh Wash to kinda warm up the wood a bit (GW Gryphonne Sepia will work as well though you will need a couple more coats). You can see the effect on the pic of Som'er I use in my avatar. Definately looking forward to seeing the whole thing completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 it looks verry well built, a bit too good for gremlins, but its good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dire Hoarcat Snuggler Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 ooooooooooooooooooor, Bachman plasticville USA makes this: Meet the "Hobo Jungle" ... complete with opening/closing doors, a His/Hers outhouse WITH bench details inside, etc etc... I just build mine and LOVE IT (their Log Cabin set sucks, but the Covered Bridge is another must buy!). ~J~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffsnog Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 One could possibly take a shower in the hooch. On the lines of hobos and train sets watch Emperor of the North. It's a movie about hobos riding trains during the great depression. Lee Marvin and Earnest Borgnine beat eachother down in it. It's awesome. Btw I must have that hobo jungle.

U.S. Male Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I painted up the boys' hut. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I had no idea about what I was going to do with the roof or door, so I just started painting and hoped for the best. And I started my swamp terrain. I forgot to take more in progress photos. The small one is a cd with sculpy on top, then with sand and debris glued on top. The big one is foamcore and spackle over hardboard, and of course the standard sand coating. I originally tried sculpy for the big board. It was a complete failure. Sculpy sucks for doing this. Lesson learned. These pictures were just after the last bit of a wash was put on in certain places, so they look a little funky in the middle of the water. Right now I'm letting the Vallejo Still Water set. Hopefully it'll come out. Then I'll add the vegetation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPSoundwave Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Nice work....but the water doesn't seem murky. as they live in the bayou you think the water would be murky. Otherwise spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
