Neilson's Farm in 40mm

Neilson's Farm from the American War of Independence in 40mm built for Grand Manner. The first photo shows the finished and painted casting (actually the very first), while the rest of the photos show the 'master', the bare resin casting and more photos of the painted model. The Farm was painted in a red oxide finish which although totally authentic, does make a change from the white or bare wood colour schemes.


The model features a fully detailed interior, a lift-out first floor and a removable roof.

The model is 50mm tall and was originally built as a 'test piece' prior to embarking on the full 40mm AWI/ACW range. The casting is a three piece model - the main body, the winding roller and the roof. The master was constructed from balsa and plastic card.

The model is 125mm wide, 125mm deep and 125mm tall. It is mounted onto a base that is 190mm x 145mm and comes with a removable roof and a fully detailed interior.

I had great fun researching AWI/ACW 'clutter' and modelling it, as can be seen on the porch and to the side of the building.

The original master was built with individual balsa planks on a 3mm plastic card former. The chimney and base were build from DAS modelling clay.
