We are putting together a 1944 Normandy game using 10mm figures and Rapid Fire rules. As thing currently stand, we have painted a few German tanks and AFV's as well as a handful of figures, made a start on the US forces to, however we are sadly lacking buildings and other terrain features for a 10mm WW2 game.
In an attempt to rectify that situation, have spent a few hours this afternoon on this Normandy farm building.
I had some old off-cuts of 3mm foamboard laying around, so quickly assembled the shell using those then added a card roof. The roof tiles and stone walls are printed onto quality paper and whist I am not overly happy with the tiles, (I had originally printed them out for a fantasy building), I decided to use what I had rather than create a new file with roof tiles so saving me a little time, I did ,however, have to take the time to make a printable file for the stone walling.
As is the way when something is done in a hurry, I gave no thought to doors and windows, so I had no option but to cut them out of the stone wall paper before I glued the paper on to the Foarmboard and then paint the doors and windows in, not the way I would usually do them but they will suffice and doing them that way fit in with my quick build ethos.
And so, after a couple of hours work this afternoon, we have our first Normandy building done and I thinks is a good representation of an old farm house and will look just fine on the tabletop.
Stug III is from Lancer Miniatures and the infantry are Pendraken, all painted here at Wild Duck HQ.
