Construction of Sarissa Precision 28mm Chateau

Being dangerously close to the two-year mark since we last posted a construction project, we tried our hands on a Chateau by Sarissa Precision. Sarissa Precision produces a range a MDF buildings in 15mm, 20mm, and 28mm scale that can be used for wargaming and dioramas. We made the 28mm version, which came with laser-cut cardboard roof tiles.

Included in the kit are laser-cut cardboard roof tiles and window shutters.
This kit came with 5 A4-size MDF sheets. Here are the floors and support structures.
Here are the walls and window surrounds.
The main building structure ‘snaps’ together – no glue is necessary. If you are using it for wargaming and want to keep the roof and each floor separated, you might want to loosen the inter-locking parts. Otherwise it is very hard to get it apart again once snapped together.
The window and door surrounds were glued on with superglue.
The roof tiles were attached using masking tape to see how they fitted before gluing on permanently.
Here is the entire building assembled.
The building was covered with a layer of PVA glue to stop it soaking up too much paint. A wood filler was used to add texture and cover up any gaps.
We hand-brushed the entire building with Army Painter acrylic paint and added stone scatters.

New Stock – Ammo Atom Paint

ATOM is a paint specially designed for modelling, formulated for maximum performance with both brush and airbrush application. ATOM paints provide strong covering power without obscuring details, resulting in a smooth, uniform, and durable matte finish. They can even be applied without the use of primer. In addition to their excellent resistance, fluidity, colour intensity, and fast drying time, ATOM paints also possess exceptional self-levelling properties.

ATOM paints are water-based acrylics with the benefits and properties of lacquer paints when applied using an airbrush. This includes minimal clogging, excellent durability, and a quick drying time. When applied with a brush, they retain all of the advantages of acrylic paint, as well as the unique properties of the ATOM range. ATOM paints are odourless and non-toxic; and they are manufactured in compliance with the latest global safety regulations.

The advantages and innovations of ATOM paints extend beyond their formula. Their revolutionary packaging, designed and manufactured exclusively for this range, is completely transparent and features a vertical dropper, accommodating quick, convenient, and clean use with just one hand required to open and close the cap. Additionally, its 20ml capacity is larger than most acrylic paint containers, providing a much more favourable price-to-capacity ratio.
