The cottage is opened

A group of adventurers approached nicely looking cottage. It looked safe and homely. If only there was a way to see its interior and get inside.

Wait – there is a way!

Mini Monsters Cottage

Here is my cottage from Mini Monsters. Normally it has no interior – the set contains only walls and roof. It can be used for dioramas or wargames as a background for your minis, but I wanted to have someting more. From plastic card I made floor and basic interior (window and door frames). The wood texture and planks on the floor are made by scratching with sharp scalpel and then by rubing with rough sandpaper. I had to cut triangular parts of the wall pieces to have them glued to the roof, which was to be removable. I made pins from thick wire to help fixing the roof in right position on the walls.

The paintjob is also quite simple. After spraying basic colors with airbrush (very helpful!), I applied wash and drybrush. Then with sharp pointed brush I made corrections and painted details.
The cottage from Mini Monsters is really nice diorama piece (with affordable price too). It has lots of details and cool fantasy/medieval look. After my alterations I think that now it’s even better 🙂
