The Manor House : VBCW & IHMN

Finally it has stopped raining (for a bit anyway) so I have managed to get a proper start at my Christmas toys. I decided to attack the Manor house to start !


I am pretty happy with the outcome.....but it was hard work. It is a Sarissa kit and really well made but probably too much internal detail for me, so at this stage I haven't painted inside. As usual I have redone the roof so it matches all my other 28 mm buildings. Scale wise it is a bit small especially compared to the warbases buildings which I have but I can live with this as I expect the Manor house will normally be on its own rather than in the village/town.

The Earl of Lonsdale has already taken up residence to give you an idea of scale.

  4. That is a fantastic model. Will work really well on the table. Reminds me very much of the film "Went the Day Well". I can just see Thora Hird firing from the windows
