Hobbit Hole 2

Well, I found a way to do it but here I may not have a reasonably reduced image (first one)

I'll work on it.

The small window frames are the wider end of needle protectors  from insulin doses.

It's mostly foam card and balsa.


The door was marked out using the plastic top making it about right for Bilbo but a crouch for Gandalf. The inside of the door frame is card, marked out and painted before bending to fit. The brick door surround became a headache so I stuck to wood.

The brick colour isn't right and I should have used a glue filler mix before painting so as to make the mortar visible when scratched in.

The windows have been glazed with thin clear plastic and behind that, garlic bag stretched as diamond panes (should have painted them black) Behind that again, card painted blue. Idea came from GW's 'How to Make Wargame Terrain' but I don't know if it's supposed to be light from inside, curtains or what. I'll try yellow next time.

Hobbit Hole 1 may follow.
