So I wrote about the Battle of Seven Pines, the Redoubt, and my wish to create a digital model of the Twin Houses, which while they were two houses in real life, for the purposes of a digital model it is simply a single model reversed to create an opposite and then 3D printed in both variants. The creation and printing were completed quite some time ago, and the models sat languishing in the “pile of shame” awaiting some paint.

Twin House: Base matt black spray paint. (wood) Burnt Umber(223), dry-brush 50/50 Warm Grey(078)/Process Black(040),dry-brush Warm Grey(078), dry-brush Buff Titanium(024). (bricks) dry-brush Yellow Ochre(633), dry-brush Naples Yellow(634), dry-dry-brush AP Pure Red(WP1104), dry-brush AP Barbarian Flesh(WP1126)

Luckily it was also one of the “projects” I put in the “box of hope”, so a bit of spray-paint then successive layers of dry-brushing later, they are pretty much complete and since I have almost all the terrain elements I wanted when I started this project (save the Union Observation Balloon) I’m hoping when I move these safely to the wargaming room, I will be able to start looking at army lists and what not to refight a small section of this battle.
