Scenery Workshop: Building a Bretonnian Hovel

THE SHORT VERSION

Steve Cumiskey follows Dave Andrews’ method for a peasant farmhouse. An irregular polystyrene core and separate blocks create rough walls, while balsa doors, shutters and timbers provide contrast. Glue-combed fake fur becomes thatch. Textured paint, muted stone drybrushes and small details such as a garden wall turn the basic construction into terrain with a recognisable Bretonnian setting.
