After another break of a couple of weeks for various reasons, I’m back again with a couple more paid-for STL buildings from Wargame Forge on MyMiniFactory.
“Gothic Building 119” is simply a square slab that’s 4 and a half stories tall. pretty straightforward there.
Gothic Large Domed Rooftop 9 is what makes it a bit more interesting than the regular stuff I’ve been posting in my series of Epic scale buildings. Much like the internet is a series of tubes, this piece is a building “topper” that’s made up of a series of squared domes. I did the usual for my “sandstone”-ish buildings and painted the rooftop domes in an aqua-teal to be somewhat reminiscent of copper verdigris rooftops.
It can obviously be placed on top of any building with this footprint. I’ve got a few more ones that fit in both printed-and-waiting and unprinted-STL form which I will possibly get around to before the Sun’s expansion destroys the Earth or when I can convince Marouda to help me paint them, depending on which comes first.
As per usual, I also painted up the fucked-up version of the building. More politely referred to as “Gothic Ruined Building 119“.
Painting all of those interior walls and floors and doorways different colours before weathering was just as tedious as it looks. I know Kuribo can appreciate that sort of pointless work!
Unfortunately, there’s no form of damaged dome-rooftop for aesthetic gameplay purposes, so I guess in the event that it gets damaged in-game we would really be in the situation of blowing the roof off this place!
And here the pieces are together, along with a few Legions Imperialis and Battletech models for scale purposes. One thing I didn’t mention is that I also painted the “destroyed” version of this piece – basically the pancaked version, but somehow it went missing in between varnishing and needing to take photos and it has not yet resurfaced, over a month later. Pissed me off, causing the delay in writing up this post and generally working on the blog by extension. I’ve printed a replacement, but now I need to repaint that fucker up, which as you may have guessed by my tone here, I’m not super enthused about still.

Nice, but yeah I can imagine the interior being somewhat tedious.

Excellent work on both the intact and damaged building, and can fully understand the frustration of having to redo the destroyed one.

Yeah, they’re not exactly super hard, but they’re also not super enjoyable to paint. They’re basically “grind” painting to get a thing completed so it’s done.

Buildings start off being fun and a little different from the usual humanoid subjects but the devil is in the details and those always take a lot more time and become repetitive. I’ve got more buildings to tackle one of these days now that you reminded me…
I really like the bright blue and colder tan colors on these buildings. It really draws the eye! I think the rubble/destroyed bits look fantastic as well. It was well worth the extra time and effort in my book anyway.

Yeah, I think the way I’m going to have to treat them for the next dozen or two will be juist ignore them until I get that “I should finish more buildings” feeling, then knock out as many as I can before losing interest again.
Yea, you’ve picked up on the warm/cold – yellow/blue thing I have going with these. They’re a little more interesting to me than the plain grey ones, though I want to have a decent number of both just for the variety.
