For sometime now I have needed some gravestones to kit out my church. As luck would have it I found some on ebay for about £7.
A few days later they arrived. You get two matching sprues looking like this
I cut these away from the sprues and then glued them to a variety of old bases and washers. These were then given a spray black and the bases covered in sand.
From here the stones were drybrushed with greys and whites and the bases covered in static grass and tufts. All in all you get about 40 head stones. More than enough for my needs.
I have to say the detailling comes alive with the drybrushing
and of course there has to be a final picture with the church..
So if you are looking for headstones Renedra is a good option
Amazing looking church yard. As always your terrain is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThank you - its comment like yours that keep me going...
DeleteThose look really good! I have picked them up a couple of times but aren't sure what I would use them for!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous looking churchyard. Nicely done.

DeleteAdds a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the grave stones! I'm curious now, about the church and the stone walls - are they commercial, or home made?
ReplyDeleteCheers Kevin
DeleteThe walls are commercial - although I painted them. Cannot remember supplier as I have had these for ages. The church is actually a 1/48 scale dolls house from Petite Properties.
I have posted a full build of this project - just google 28mm Church Shed Wars and you should find it.
cheers
They look great, Eric! For my 1/32 scale, I use Lemax Halloween village headstones.
