Took a while and I'm sick of cutting out windows and sticking them on buildings!
 |
| So this is the finished set. I did break one self imposed rule - actually bought the walls and side gate!. They are Busch set HO 6014, Wall and Gate. |
 |
| I confess - didn't allow for the saw blade width and cut the walls a few mils too small! |
 |
| Side view with a few 20mm figures for comparison. The smaller scale allowed for a much grander building setup. Didn't always get the windows right... main building has an attic and slightly lower ceilings! |
 |
| Another side view showing the size of the building. Looks really solid. |
 |
| Back view. Probably shouldn't have put windows over the joint but... |
 |
| Courtyard is very much compressed for use in city sized use. If I do scenarios based on just the university I would add a few more wall sections and possibly also do a separate wall not connected to the buildings. The roof wasn't painted, just had a couple of layers of PVA glue covering it - I thought it looked more realistic than paint. Must do something about the camera date staming pictures. Possibly set the right date and time on it? |
 |
| Size comparison with the Sarissa manor house and gate house- haven't got an annex for the Sarissa version, beginning to regret that! |
 |
| The 20/25mm version allows a much more believeable size building to be made. |
 |
| The gate house comparison really gives the game away! |
Overall I'm really pleased with this set of buildings. I can see them being very useful in the future.
