Being a modeller for quite a few years now, I decided to explore the endless possibilities that the world (through internet) offers, and come up with a series of ways of building, modelling and painting fast (but not hastily), to create the worlds I was seeing in history books since I was little. . .If you care to join me. . . This is the place to be! And, I promise you to find the way (or ways)!!

How to: Make a Pig Sty

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all well.

If you've seen my last post, I have made a tutorial about making a chicken coop. Today I am showing you a tutorial on how to make a pig sty.

I was inspired by  Morrissey's song, ''Life is a pigsty''. I am sure you all know it.


To be honest though, my main source of inspiration, was an article of how to make a farm, from Matakishi's Tea House site (www.matakishi.com). This guy, has produced some excellent terrain pieces, and I simply couldn't help it, but to try to make some of my own. Please, do visit the site, it's like the Ali Baba's cave, full of riches!

Anyhow....

Again , all measures are in centimetres. The photo thread below is (I believe) self explanatory. If not, you can always ask! :-)



The pigs are from Pegasus Farm Animals set (#7052). 


Have a great Christmas eve night everyone!

  3. Nice one. The making barnyard animal huts etc is quite addictive once started. I had to literally stop making bits and pieces...At one point, I was seriously considering making a farm house, and buying some 1/72nd tractors etc...wargaming - the really slow style :-D
    Happy X-ms :-D

  6. Great job, Thanos!! The pigs are huddled together to discuss whether a "wallow" would be advantageous to their morale and good health.

  7. This takes me back to my days as a little girl. Getting up before the sun, mucking out stables and slopping the pigs. They'd get so excited when they saw me coming, pushing against each other and squeeling.

    Great tutorial and it was nice to see this all come together into the final piece. Great work again.

    Happy Holidays dear Thanos.

  9. For that extra dash of realism I'd substitute the greenery with well ploughed mud and yellow straw. I've tended to pigs and the sty stays green perhaps a few days after you set the pigs loose. What they don't eat, they dig up. Still, a nice display which should give rural farmsteads a lot of character.

  31. I rarely create responses, but i did a few searching and wound up here "How to: Make a Pig Sty".
    And I actually do have some questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or does it appear like some of the remarks look as if they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of the complete urls of your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
