Extreme Makeover: Wargamer Edition

This time I decided to work a little on the scenery for Invasion game. To this end I decided to paint or repaint some of my micro-armor houses. These particular buildings hold a sentimental value to me being the first war gaming buildings I bought some thirty years ago. In that time some of them have been damaged and I decided to use this opportunity to fixed some of them up.

The buildings before I started. As you can see most of the damage was to the bases which I didn't care for anyway.
The first step was to glue them to bases. I then used Acrylic Gel to make the bases somewhat flush. For the Church and the Mansion I used fine model railroad ballast to make gravel drive ways. Finally I used green stuff to try to repair some of the roofs.



Now it's time to move that bus.

Hmm going to have to touch up the apartment building. 

For the two buildings on the left I deliberately left the roofs partially painted as it gave them more texture. I also numbered the smaller buildings.

All the buildings together. This photo shows the backyards. One thing I think I'll do next time is use a single colored flocking on the hedges to make them stand out more. 
Well that's the first batch of buildings. (I have to do at least 6 more.) Next up I'll be painting up more ships for the naval part.
