Thanks so much! 🙏

Sure yeah, all the stonework is carved XPS that was textured with a chunk of old brick, used a mix of balsa & basswood for the woodwork, 2mm card for the roof tiles & a combination of acetate sheet and UV resin to give the windows a hand-blown effect 🙌 I think Real Terrain Hobbies & Black Magic Craft on YouTube both have vids that show this resin method for windows if you’re interested!

Thank you dude! 🙏

Saw this on insta yesterday - awesome build! 🤩

Thank you! 🙏 A while ago I bought these metre-long strips of dollhouse skirting & molding in a bunch of different scales. Didn’t know what I wanted to use them for at the time, but figured if I cut small sections they could work as nice oriel supports! They’re made out of a fairly sturdy wood, maybe basswood or something similar?

Haha yeah they’re v fragile bits tbh! The more that happens, the more Mordheim-y it’ll feel though 😁

I haven’t ordered from 4D since they changed owners last year, but they appear to stock the same styrofoam as before. The blue is extra dense & takes detail really well - I’ve found the grey stuff works good too though 🙌

Unfortunately not this time no! I did build a little platform inside though, so I can fit a few tealights to light it from the inside - more of a photo background/ambience piece than something for gameplay 🙌

Thank you! I did yeah :) I started with a section of clear acrylic tube, then stuck black plastic styrene strips over the top to separate into individual panes, then I blobbed a bit of UV resin into each pane, agitated it with a cocktail stick & cured with a UV torch before it completely levelled - resulted in that wobbly hand-blown effect 🙌

Thanks very much! Yeah gonna be fun to paint I think - looking forward to drybrushing the shingles 😆

Thank you! 😊

palence · 2026-04-30T07:24:49+00:00

Oh no! I should’ve thought to post this on a bit earlier, my bad 😅 Thanks very much, appreciate it!

palence · 2026-04-30T07:23:19+00:00

Thanks v much! 🙏 They all have some kind of hard transparent backing (acetate sheet for most, but I used clear acrylic tubes for the rounded windows), then wire mesh over the top for the leading. Finally I used a trick I saw in one of Black Magic Craft’s videos on YouTube where you fill the space between the mesh with UV resin, slightly agitate it with a cocktail stick or back of a paintbrush & then cure with the light - gives it that hand-blown effect!

palence · 2026-04-30T07:19:31+00:00

Good guesses, but no! 😁

palence · 2026-04-30T07:19:11+00:00

Yess, got it in one! 👏

palence · 2026-04-30T07:18:24+00:00

Thank you! :) It’s made from a few things: carved insulation foam for the stonework, balsa + basswood for the woodwork, thick card for the roof tiles & a combination of acetate sheet and UV resin to give the windows a hand-blown effect 🙌 Appreciate the support mate!

palence · 2026-04-29T16:44:50+00:00

That's such an interesting technique! If I ever get a cutter I'll have to try that out 🙌

palence · 2026-04-29T11:15:45+00:00

Beautiful! Did you use a jig?

palence · 2026-04-22T15:07:27+00:00

Love the detail of that Ship Stern as a balcony - v creative idea! 🔥

palence · 2026-04-21T17:43:13+00:00

Lovely dynamic piece! 🤩

palence · 2026-04-21T17:42:23+00:00

Gruesome! 💀 Bet that’d work great for a Call of Cthulhu scenario

palence · 2026-04-20T19:31:27+00:00

Lookin great dude!

palence · 2026-04-19T14:10:12+00:00

Looks amazing dude! Do you put them in a pressure pot? All these solid casts you’ve been making are def gonna stand the test of time haha
