That was fun. These little ones build and paint up so fast compared to my 28mm stuff, but I really should get cracking on finishing one of those soon. Maybe next week.
Anyway, same kit, different kind of weathering. In this case pretty damp and not cared for for a very long time.
And a quick comparison to the previous one.
Assembly is simple and quick. The shutters on these are rounded at the top which is nice. The footprint is the same as the ruins, and the roof and first floor lift off quite nicely. Think I'll got for a weather yellow wall and green shutters this time. Also need to cut a add on roof out of foam so it fits Vietnam better, and then tile that.

| Same footprint as the ruins, with a little concrete pad for the front door. |

| Just realised this would work as a burnt out shell as well, if you leave out all of the card bits. Hmmm... |
 |
| Maybe add some planters in front of the open windows? |
Plenty of ideas, but for now, it can dry so I can coat all the card tomorrow.
A lovely (albeit solitary) hobby evening, and all of the weathering is done on the new (well, is it really new.....) house ruin. Let it all dry and tomorrow evening it's time for the leaves, debris and other plantlife.
15mm can paint up really quick if you stop (over)thinking about it.
Another N610 ready for paint, but this one will be painted as something that has been destroyed years ago. We will see if I can get that done tomorrow evening.
I picked this up in last years Black Friday Sale (I think....could have been the year before?).
Comes with a 1x MDF sheet and 1x card sheet with parts. Cleanup is quick as always, minimal nubs. Assembly is quick, you can't really go wrong here tbh. I left off the ruined 1st/2nd story roof rathers/floor/whatever it is (I really don't know) that you can assemble hanging down into the open floorspace. I just put that into the spares box for a future project and snipped down a few of the planks that extended a bit too much for my liking.
Currently retails for 9,99 Euros. Destroyed Small House - 15mm
White primercoat, sponged another wite coat, grey coat and dark washes, details in red, last ashy highlight and she is done for my 15mm AK-47 and Vietnam collection. Went for the "This just burned down"-look. Might make another in a "We don't go there anymore...." look, not sure if I have more of these.
It's good enough. All of the bases have now been Thymed. I ordered a big bag of the stuff for future needs as it is pretty good scatter.
41 bases done. Once it has all dried and the excess removed, into the box they go and grab the next unfinished project and repeat.
A nice mix of sizes so they work for a lot of things. I am happy it is done. I have way too many things languishing in a box cause the enthusiasm is gone. But if I push myself just a little bit and sit at the table while the girls are doing their homework, an hour here or an hour there gets shit done. The 2 a week hobby nights are the cherry on top.
