Houses and statues

Recently I picked up some terrain for my Chinese Bolt Action army from Warbases.

These are laser cut mdf houses (which I've pimped up a bit), and the Foo Dogs are resin casts from Warbases as well. The buddha on the other hand is something I was given at a Chinese restaurant visit many years ago, and it's been sitting in my bits box waiting for when I make that Asian-style army.

 These are the Gongji and the Niu houses. I'm happy with how the roofs turned out, since they are much more 2D than you'd think, they grey highlights are painted on.

This is the "Modular 5" house, with an added plastic roof. I've also built the small windows up by the roof, the roof construction doesn't make sense otherwise. Now it's supposed to be a simple factory or small warehouse, and should fit in most 20th century settings. The windows are just painted with gloss.

The foo dogs had some air bubbles, which I had to fill with greenstuff, but they are OK, especially for terrain.

This is a Prussian cottage, and might look strange in China, but it will fit on most European tables.

All the walls of the houses were painted with a mix of fine sand and paint before painting, and then painted in a weird mix of light grey, beige, a black wash and water. I haven't mixed paint and washes like this before, but it worked well to get this dirty grey colour.

Chinese, ruins and dwarves

So, a bit of a mixed bag this time, these miniatures were all half-finished for a while, and I finally got around to finish them up.

The old Lord of the Rings ruins on the other hand was a very fast paint job. I actually spent more time covering up the silly indents on the backs of them, so those are filled with lollipop sticks and green stuff.
The Chinese are four boss types, two LMG teams converted from Japanese bodies with British WWI heads, and bandits which will be used for the free unit in Bolt Action. Some of the latter have been converted from dark age bodies with Russian heads and German weapon arms.
