John Busby cottage, part duex

My apologies for not posting sooner. Here are some updated photos of the “witches hut” that John is building. Nice work there!

Hi TJ

Thanks for posting pictures.

hopefull more pictures soon roof tile no 34 35 36 its one tile at a time not strip cut ones so its taking a while.

To give people an idea of the size of the toad stools the wood beam behind them is 8mm high or just under I think?? 3/8 of an inch

The red ones do have the regulation fantasy white dots on them and have become something of a marker to say its mine when a fantasy building is built by me.

In spite of what it is, it is being built for the railway

regards John Busby

Cool beans man!!! Yo mate, you going to put her in the window or on the roof?

Toad

What was his inspiration? It looks like some A frame cattages that we saw in Germany.

Hi Toad

What and hide Rob Bennets wonderfull Figures[swg], the window is too small really for anything to be seen through it.

The witch her, cauldron, work table and regulation black cat will be out the front.

Oh! and don’t touch the spell book it bites[}:)]

I cannot remember if I sent TJ the makers pictures of the witch etc

regards John Busby

Hi Coogler Rail Line

It is an alloy of several different insperations

How well its coming together I leave others to judge the serious stuff, I am having too much fun with this one[:D]

The influences are

pictures of Medieval peasants cottages

Picture postcard Britain

A description of a Black Forrest forresters hut (rats it had no picture)

Elizibethan buildings

Faerie tales

The War Hammer world background fluff

And believe it or not a picture of a cottage the same shape in India it was a bit more brightly coloured than mine and not half timbered

Oh! and a good dose of applied organised insanity[swg]

regards John Busby
