So after quite a long time searching for Sentry Models fantastic buildings I stumbled upon them on a Facebook page. Very excited I ordered a few from Tony Raven who makes these great resin models. Not cheap to get them all the way to Australia, but to be honest they are so good, I really didn’t care about the postage. I picked up a ruined house, a big ruined terrace and another two storey ruin. Sculpting is just beautiful and the detail much better than anything I have managed to scratch build.
My first effort is the single ruin. I glued to an MDF base and then added a heap more of my own rubble to blend it in. This included some bought bricks and some home made rubble carefully crafted from smashing up house bricks with a ten pound hammer. A good coating of PVA glue and then a black and grey primer spray coat on top.
Painting was done using cheap acrylics and a couple of washes and highlights. I did also use some weathering pigments to blend things into the base. Oh and some charcoal for the charred bits here and there. Last touch was the flocking and a few tufty bits. I was very happy with how it turned out and cannot wait to get cracking on the others. I would recommend getting onto Facebook and finding Sentry/Ravensthorpe miniatures ASAP and picking up some of these for your table top.
I still haven’t managed to play a game in 2019, I guess I am just more of a modelling and painting nut than anything else……….
You are right this little beauty was well worth the money ,so good! It would have been good to see a before and after shot ! but I cant talk as I generally forget to take the before shot and only think of it to late .

Your right Sentry models are some of the nicest resin terrain for the scale. I can remember going to shows and seeing Colin Rumford and Richard Marsh tables with these buildings on.

That is a very nice house- a model I own myself. RSentry models are really nice.
The smashed up brick is a great idea- I’ll keep an eye out for a ‘spare’ on when I’m out and about.
Cheers,
Pete.
