Clock Tower Terrain

 I've been working on various projects for a while now, but it was inevitable that, sooner or later, I'd be drawn back to my fantasy town. It's like the village from The Prisoner: nobody leaves for long. 

I saw that TT Combat were selling off some old MDF buildings. One was a clock tower, which was going for the king's ransom of £4. I bought one and got to work putting it together - and making a few changes, of course. It's meant to look like this:

First of all, I added a plastic Mantic door. Then I gave the tower a roof made of cardboard tiles, instead of MDF. For texture, I cut a few brick shapes out of thin plasticard and stuck them over some of the original laser-etched bricks, so they'd stand out more. 

The rear got a plant made from a random metal part that I got in a job lot of bits a while ago. I added gargoyle-type things to the top of the lower layer, taken from two Lord of the Rings Rohan houses. They're fish-shaped, which by chance, is the symbol of Mordheim. The roof got some spikes that I found in a craft shop. I'm not sure what they're for.

I smoothed out some of the more obvious MDF elements with DAS clay. The MDF hands on the clock face were replaced with bits from some kind of plastic Empire machine - a cannon, perhaps - to make them look more gothic and detailed. Two large crosses were added to the front and back, along with a bit of chain from a Chaos vehicle sprue.

The painting emphasised dirt!

I don't think it's a masterpiece, but it's not bad for £4!
