Being a modeller for quite a few years now, I decided to explore the endless possibilities that the world (through internet) offers, and come up with a series of ways of building, modelling and painting fast (but not hastily), to create the worlds I was seeing in history books since I was little. . .If you care to join me. . . This is the place to be! And, I promise you to find the way (or ways)!!

Stone House in Normandy - Finished!

Good day everyone!

Last night, I finished Italeri's Stone House ( #6140 ) alongside with the other components of the terrain piece that would accompany it.
I don't want to brag about my work, but I think that this is the one of the best terrain pieces I ever made (I still have a lot to learn though...)! :-) It's amazing what you can do, when you are a bit methodical and patient while working...two elements I lacked in the past...
It happened so, because I turn (and officially) 30 today, and I hope that Godess Fortuna will ''iuvat'' me, and make me a better person! 



I hope you like it!

  9. Firstly, happy birthday! Another great terrain piece and, have others have said, fantastic work on the stones. The sculpting and paintwork is really convincing.

    How does the scale look with this kit? I've made the Italeri farmhouse and it was quite large but this one looks much better proportioned.

    Have a great Christams & New Year!
