    You absolutely must do a tutorial! This turned out amazingly! Absolutely stunning.

    Now my friend that is a brilliant piece of terrain, have you plans to make a village?

    The roof looks amazing although I feel sorry for the bald cat running around Canada.

    You must do a tutorial and maybe design some printable templates.

    Anyway you deserve this :spiderman:

    Looks really good! The only thing is the wood, I think is looks a bit too dark. Excellent piece anyways :wideyed::wideyed:

    Thank you kindly! I don't have any plans to make an entire village, but I do have plans to make one more larger and more complex house. After that, I want to move onto different types of terrain.

    :D Interestingly, I joked around with my Mother in law about that very same thing (she has two cats). :D

    A tutorial is on the way. I hope to write one up soon.

    Thank you :). I think the darkness of the wood arises from a personal affinity of mine. I've always loved the look of really dark wood.

    Looks fantastic! Didn't expect the fur-effect to turn out so well!

    Thank you! I wasn't sure about it either... I actually created a prototype before gluing the fur onto the roof of the house :cool:

    Looks awesome. You might consider doing a light drybrush of a yellow (vellejo air yellow ochre comes to mind. We use the same paints :)) over the fur. Could make it look a little more hay-ish.

    Thank you! When I created my prototype I actually highlighted to a more yellowish finish. When making the actual roof, I thought the slightly darker roof worked better with the general colour tone of the rest of the house. I was aiming for a colour finish something similar this...

    Wow. You really, really make me want to build and paint my own Terrain. These look gorgeous.

    Thank you so much! You should build some terrain. It's great fun and really adds to the feel of your games & armies.

    For a great starting point, you could always check out the Terrain Tutor on YouTube. Although I didn't get the idea for this particular piece from the channel, I have used many of his ideas/tutorials/concepts in the past and will do so again in the future.

    Well you're pretty darn close then. Another prototype with a grey wash overlaid in spots by a brown/beige wash? Working towards that aged look.

    Either way it's pretty damn clever way to do a roof.

    Nice! I will have the check them out. My D&D group is planning to build a gaming table that will double as a combat map for D&D and various Warhammer games. So homemade terrain could be fun.

    Thanks! :) I wish I could take credit for the idea but I got it from an old Terrain building book that GW released years ago...

    Sounds awesome. Any ideas on what types of terrain you might be interested in building?

    I might do some small ruins, maybe a hut/house. Some day I want to do a tower, but that won't be for a while. The huts will be for a future continuation of this year's Armies on Parade, "A Slann dreams of Lustria Park" little concession stands manned by my Skinks.

    Nice. I'll look for it. I have one on making dioramas for model trains, similar concepts I'm sure but different scales. I'll also be checking out that youtube link you posted. If I didn't have an insane amount of other projects (house improvements/updates, modeling projects, unpacking, welding projects, etc) more would get done. But that is the beauty of a hobby. work at your own pace
