My daughter, Sammy, has been painting terrain pieces for members of the HAWKs for some time now. She doesn’t enjoy painting figures, but she seems to really enjoy painting terrain. She is relatively inexpensive, so it’s been a win-win. The HAWKs get something painted that was deep in their painting cue, and Sam gets a few dollars to spend on whatever teenage girls spend money.
This was Sam’s most intricate project to date. Duncan had asked Sam to paint this building he found in a flea market.
We think the building is from Grand Manner. If you have never gotten buildings from Grand Manner, you’re missing a real treat. They are fully sculpted inside and out. The detail is fantastic! They are premium priced, but worth the money.
Some years ago I bought several of their ACW buildings during a sale, where you could get a set of ACW buildings for a set price. They painted up really nicely.
I think Sam did a terrific job on this building.
As usual, she did the entire thing herself. I bought her a nice box for her paints, but she has been using her painting profits to get more bottles of paint, brushes, etc.
Sometimes she’ll ask me for suggestions on colors, but largely, she does this independently. In this case, I suggested green shutters to give the building a little color.
