Arabian House Building Tutorial

Posted by Old Wolf on 02 Feb 2011, 00:23

As promissed,
heres the tutorial for simple Arabian Houses in "Wargaming Quality" :mrgreen:
All material came out of the dark rooms of my cellar and things i found on the streets.

i took the thin wodden board from the back of a cupboard, cut the components out with an electric saw
Image

and glued them with white glue. A rubber strap is usefull to fix the components untill the glue dried.
Image
in the inner corners you can see the square timbers made from the stick of new years rocket

For the windows i used perforated metal plate from old speakers
Image

i cut it easy with the missus scissors :spank: and glued it on the wood
Image

Image

Image

Image
cardboard as base for the roof than wooden sticks glued on top

Image
styrofoam for some stairs

Image

Image
cork from sparkling wine for the battlements

Image

Image

Image
i used woodfiller for the surface. From the first Arabian House

i ve learned to mix it with more water to get it thinner.

Image

Image

after drying i primed all with yellow ochre, a grey would do it too
Image

white drybrush and a dark prime on the wooden roof with a grey bown drybrush after
Image

finished basic houses before getting details
Image

Image

Image

Image

this was so much fun that i started a new house to better some parts

hope you enjoy
