Shout--Hoo-ray!
And let each one of the crowd try and shout it very loud,
In honour of an animal of whom you're justly proud,
For it's Toad's--great--day

All right, I do like the fellow with the lifted skull better in the second rank. Did not expect that. Very nicely done!

My third ever bash at a scratchbuild for 25mm was the Pertwee Farmhouse.
The farm proper has a number of actual buildings, but I tackled the main house first, now is the turn of the barn.
As seems to always be the case, during construction I did wonder if it was too small, but upon placing the shell next to the actual farmhouse itself I was assured it was just fine.
However one of the walls seemed very low, so I turned to Merijn of Another Wargaming Blog to ask for his thoughts as he has done the barn and many many more himself.
His measurements backed up my own, so ahead I steamed.
The astute may notice that my take on it does not have the brick cornered walls.
I thought it looked off given that the main farmhouse does not have them, so I opted to keep the barn the same sort of build as the house.
Here it is:
As a thanks to Merijn he has his own little poster on the side of the barn:
Next up are the rest of the farmers themself...

Wow, that's fantastic! The level of detail is amazing! What did you make the tiles out of?
MichaelStockin
Lord
Thank you. They are made from balsa, but the balsa is a bit too thick, so each tile is carefully split down the centre to halve the thickness. An earlier example here:

I assumed it was a Weazel Gummidge reference!

Nah, the farmer I painted ended up looking like Sean Pertwee, which in turn ended up inspiring the history of the farm.

Will he fare better than his namesake who's well-known for dying horribly?
MichaelStockin

100% yes, I mean he has already not died when he did die.

VERZERRTE HELLEBLITZEN
In life these helblitzen served the Countess Mircalla Karnstein of Sylvania.
The Countess was suspected of, tried, and found guilty of Vampirism.
Having outlived her husband many years prior to her trial, her noble family line died with her.
Now resurrected and ready to fight once again in her name, these restless dead march forward without fear.
Led by Ranlac The Black they march into battle driven on by the indomitable beat of the manskin drum, holding aloft the banner which proclaims the hour of blood is nigh.
The banner is steeped in the darkest of black magic, its unholy purpose known only to the Countess of Blood herself, and Heinrich Kemmler, the puppet general of her undead legions.
It is said the banner was created by the Countess herself as part of a curse on the people of Stirland who tried and found her guilty of vampirism.
Those that were there as she was burnt witnessed her proclamation that she would return and take revenge on the descendants of those that wronged her.
Some swear that when the banner was first crafted the hourglass was full to the top…
Ranlac The Black.
Once a vampire himself, the get of Mircalla Karnstein, he died at the battle of Hel Fenn.
Alas the victors failed to dispatch him properly and he lingered in unlife until recently, when Heinrich Kemmler under the guidance of the Countess brought him back once again.
