Late December. A new covid surge. Everything is being cancelled. Getting motivation is very difficult. I'm trying to remember that this is for more than one game/event.
The Church. There are very few model churches out there. Considering how common they are, plus the original concept was to provide a local rallying area and strongpoint.
This one is from Pendraken/Minibits: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/nred-15m-01-nescomb-church-6009-p.asp
The Parish Church of St. James stands at the S.W. end of the old town 160 yds. N. of the Quay; the walls are faced with Purbeck stone ashlar and the roofs are slate-covered. The present building stands on the site of the mediaeval church which had become dilapidated and was demolished in 1819.
Base is from Warbases. Wall sections were from a bin of bits at Beach Head. I tried heating and bending, but that didn't work, but their base came off easy and I just snapped them into bits. No guesses that hard as nail used to mount. You'll note that for once I don't skim the base.
LET IT DRY!

Church assembled and placed.
Walls painted dark grey, high lighted light grey. Stone & shrubbery painted. Base painted 50/50 paint & PVA. You know what I'm going to say? Overnight!
Flocking is quite light as bases will be added. Note the path goes into the porch.
Movement bases. The 3 "boat bases" are designed to carry the 3 attacking commands. I'm toying with the idea of adding matchstick stops. I'll see what happens later.
Round ones are 2 CD's stuck togever with gorilla glue. Note - this leaves a slightly rough edge, perfect for picking up for people like me!
Third was a small terrain base, Blotz this time: https://blotz.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=24_46_218&products_id=2035
All same method. Covering of my go-to product harder as nails then cardboard pressed in. The mess is then shaped. All told I spent 40p on hard as nails on this bit.
2 flocks later. This one is designed to convey the relief force. This is so useful I might make more.
Not finished. Once I get my "wet" on theses will match.
