OK, so I am wanting to play the Blood Moon mission for the Rangers Of The Shadowdeep game. It requires some specific buildings, a barn and a manor house within given dimensions. So I decided to build them The first is the barn. I modified the Dutch Barn from Dave Graffam Models, used as wallpaper on a black foamcore box, and redesigned the roof to be removable as well. I am very happy with how it has turned out.
I bought a batch of Quar from Zombiesmith . They are basically alien anteaters, with a WWI level of technology. My plan is to use them as the core of a Five Parsecs From Home campaign.

I measured it, and it is 1:58 scale while 28mm is normally considered 1:56 scale (thank you, Warlord Games for standardizing this!) So, close enough for a scenic item, am I right? I know the front end is all wrong, but it should be fine for a bit of background color. It took me a couple of hours to get painted, but I think it turned out well. I need to acquire some decals at some point, and get the windshield frame painted (my hands are too shaky tonight to fo that.) Maybe steal a matching wheel from another toy car to throw on the hood as a spare. But it's finished enough for now. My DAK infantry models are from Artizan Designs, but are still unpainted. Instead, I have a British soldier from the same range shown for scale. The vehicle looks the right dize, with the top of the door being just a...
