Some more scatter terrain as part of my quest to apply pigment to castings, this time a bookcase from the Reaper
Bones line. I don't feel as guilty not doing a traditional human/humanoid figure, because I feel like I put nearly the same amount of work into this piece of furniture (what with painting all the individual books and all).
Plenty of detailing on this casting, although I'm not a fan of the company name and copyright symbol on the back of the thing (which now that I think about, I could have sanded down). Paint, wash, and drybrush really brings out the wood grain.
Because the bottom of this piece isn't flat, even after some sanding, I glued a small section of actual wood to the model to keep it steady and upright. As you can see, it goes well with 28mm figures.
Another addition for my skirmish games (D&D, Frostgrave, Melee/Wizard, Song of Blades & Heroes, etc.). And as you can see, it's part of a matching set--although I painted this slightly different than
the first one I did.
I'm very pleased with how this model came out, and I like it better than my initial version. But I want to ask people veiwing this blog, does it look like there is that much of a difference? Please let me know.

Looks great
I have the Mantic "Library" Terrain crate, and your results on this one bookcase makes me even more intimidated to have a go at the half dozen in the box.
"does it look like there is that much of a difference"
No. :)
But you should continue varying them a little - these aren't factory-made bookshelves rolling off the line at IKEA.
