Adobe Jail - Sarissa 40mm scale

Sarissa have recently released a range of 40mm scaled MDF buildings.
The kit comprises three sheets of laser cut MDF.


Due to the nature of the building, I did not quite follow the instructions.

The interior includes two cells, built using two components, the long set of bars and the  short set. I glued them together, but did not glue them to the base plate (I used that as a jig to hold it all together).

Once the glue was dry, the bars were removed from the base plate and sprayed, first with Halfords Black Primer, followed by a light dusting of Halfords Grey Primer.

The four sides and the interior piece that provides the support beams through the walls was glued together, ensuring that glue was kept clear of the base, which was again used as a jig to keep everything square.

The etched side of the roof plate was sprayed with Citadel Ogre Flesh spray, as was the base plate.

Once the glue fixing the walls had dried, the joints were tidied up with Milliput. Milliput was also used to provide some surface detail, ensuring the etched detail was kept.

Once that was set, the windows and doors was masked (the window frame and shutters piece was left off). The roof plate was inverted and used to mask the roof space.

The exterior was first sprayed with Rustoleum Rust effect spray to add surface texture. This was then sprayed with Halfords Grey Primer followed by Halfords White Primer. The interior walls were also sprayed with Halfords White Primer.

The barred windows and the front window's frame was painted with Vallejo Black and dry brushed Vallejo Black Grey. The wooden supports and the door frame were painted with Citadel Dryad Bark.

The brick surfaces were washed with Citadel Gryphonne Sepia wash. The walls were washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade.
