Tabletop-World

I recently posted pictures of the old Merchant’s House and I remembered I was still missing this old timbered house from Tabletop World.

The house is long out of production as it was one of those assembly kits with tons of small bits you had to glue on yourself, including the infamous roof sections, which was madness to both assemble and making the roof suitable for easy access to the full furnished interior.

I am really proud of the result despite painting it years ago. Just like the Merchant’s House, I have never used the interior for gaming sessions.

Added some trees and some of my warepiles for the picture aswell as the cute pile of logs from Ristul’s Extraordinary Market’s Bonfire Set. I can highly recommend everything from their miniature range!

More pictures of the exterior including a noble citizen!

It was a bit hard capturing the mood inside the building as it is really hard to get a decent camera position, but here is a good view into the cottage!

Phew, still missing quite a few buildings from my Tabletop World collection. Let’s see if I can take some pictures of my newly finished Town Gate sometime soon :-)

This is the out of production Merchant’s House from Tabletop World that I painted a few years ago.

I added some scenery items from Fenryll and Grendel plus a few of my vintage Citadel miniatures for size comparison. It has been a few years since I painted this piece, and as described in earlier posts, this one was an absolute pain to assemble!

The building was the first I ever painted from Tabletop-World and it took me weeks to assemble and paint. The roof was terrible and I hated it so much that I wanted to smash it into a milion pieces, but I finally glued it together (after struggling with the pieces in hot water an entire afternoon to make them fit) The ornaments on the roof were broken at arrival, so unfortunately they are missing.
The result however, was absolutely stunning! And I went on buying several other buildings (with just as much swearing and cursing!) before they finally made their buildings consumer friendly (Yeah, I’m lazy!)

The roof is removable and the inside is fully furnished with bed, desk and chairs. It is such a romantic piece ;)
This and the Timbered House were the only ones I actually furnished (rest is glued together) as we’ve never used it in our RPG sessions.

Still missing a quite a few posts from my collection; Timbered House, Blacksmith’s Forge (the old one), Guard tower, Town House, Water Well and Stone Bridge. Which are all done, but I haven’t taken any pictures yet! Stay tuned for that!

And in the works are: Townhouse II & III x 2, and the Town Gate :-)

This is the wooping large Mansion from Tabletop-World. A really large building and the tallest house I own (not counting the watch tower or town gate) I added some of my warepiles to the picture for a little flavour and size comparison :)

The building is in 3 floors with a huge roof and a cute spire. I did the unthinkable and glued every section together as I knew I would never actually use the interior of the building. The size is realistic but hardly any furniture I own except Tabletop-World’s own pieces fit inside, plus the building easily get worn down and chipping paint when continously being pulled apart.
Another reason for this is because I use it for RPG’s and Mordheim. When several people move the buildings with loose sections around, accidents are bound to happen as it is pretty unpredictable where the sections are combined to the different pieces. Only 2 of the Tabletop-World buildings I own have fully painted interior and so far never seen the light in any sessions.

The spire bronze-roof is actually the only part of the paint job I am not 100% satisfied with. I think I would paint the bronze a bit darker next time as it blends in with the wood colours.

I didn’t glue the spire roof together for limited space reasons as it is quite a tall building. Unfortunately, the spire looks a bit crooked on the pictures. Most likely because it wasn’t adjusted properly that day.

I was quite happy with the rest of the building, although I absolutely dreaded painting all those windows. Never painted that many before! Atleast they turned out OK :-)

Still a really cool building and it looks awesome on the gaming table! :-D

This is the newest Blacksmith Forge from Tabletop-World. By newest I mean that this is actually their 3rd version of their blacksmith building. I am fortunate enough to own the 2nd edition aswell which is a whole lot different and much larger than this.

It was easily assembled (their new models are great!) and I’m glad I made my old Blacksmith (the 2nd edition) look more like a house or bakery as I wanted it to be up to each session which kind of building it resembled. Else there would be quite a competition in the village!

Early Christmas present!

I was supposed to open it Christmas eve,  but with the kids running around high on sugar canes, I thought the most responsible thing would be to open it early (and I was way too excited to wait). I was worried about how it would handle the transport home as well. But when I opened it, it actually turned out less fragile than anticipated. Oh well.. :-)

Good thing I still get to open 2 more buildings from Tabletop-World Christmas eve !

The building is MASSIVE! and as you can see, I’m still behind on the tower and townhouse… In 3 days I’ll have 5 unpainted tabletop world buildings taking up space in my already tiny apartment! So much to paint and so little time!
