Turnip28 and The Kings own 23rd Boggy Marsh Rutabagas – Part 6

I’ve just finished the first piece of Terrain for the Turnip28/Napoleonic Zombie project and I’m really, really happy with it. 

Terrain is so much fun to build and paint. I thoroughly enjoy the world building aspect of it. I also have so much fun flocking and weathering. 

For this piece I’m trying to blend fantasy with reality a bit. I wanted the moss to look like it is unnaturally taking over but look as close to moss as I could. 

I also wanted the whole thing to look damp-ish on the ground level but the first floor to look a little dryer. Giving the impression that there is some severe rising damp. 

Before you take a look at the pix why not put a song on while you observe them. Just to sort of set the scene and create a vibe hehe. Here’s what I strongly recommend from YouTube.

Here the finished “The Queens Lean” (a slowly sinking tavern where you can rest your battle weary bones, drink a tankard of ale and take a swing at the zombie sitting next to you).

I tried to make the windows look like they had that warm internal glow from a light but I’m not sure how well it worked really. 

I even tried some stained glass windows but again I’m not sure they worked out that well. 

I did paint  “The queens lean” on the sign but I should’ve used a white as you really can’t see it that well. I’m wondering if there are decals for pub signs out in the world somewhere? If anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears. 

I hope you like The Queens Lean guys.

The best things about being on holiday are as follows:

1. Time with the family 
2. Lots of booze and food
3. More hobby time than I can poke a scalpel at 

Cheers
