Building 2- Country Cottage
This MDF kit is from TT Combat, who produce great little kits at reasonable prices. I've collected several kits from their World War series, and this is the 'Maison Celeste' cottage.
In the corner of the garden is a Charlie Foxtrot 'Outside WC'. The barrel is a resin example from Serious Play Scenics, as are the seafoam tree and the rows of vegetables in the garden. The picket fence around the property is just coffee stirrers cut to size and made into fencing, with supports made from cut off BBQ skewer. The chimney pots are Lego cone pieces with flat pieces glued on top for the covers. The clothes line is cotton thread strung between two cocktail sticks...
As with my first yellow house, I retiled the roof of the cottage recently, which I think works much better. I'm not completely happy with the colour or texture of the outside walls, so I may revisit these at a later date.
I had some strips of vegetables left over from the Serious Play Scenics pack I had bought for the cottage, and I had always wanted to make an allotment patch. I added a set of resin pumpkins, again from Serious Play Scenics, plus a bench and chicken coop (+ chickens) from Warbases. It's a nice little space filler on my gaming table, and adds a bit of character where otherwise a couple of trees or an open space would have been.
