Hi all,
Thought I would post up the first pics of a church and a couple of hovels that I started today. The vikings will be arriving soon and will need a town to raid. More pics to follow soon :)

Ahahahahaha
So much for sticking to one project ;D
What are you going to use for the roofing material?
cheers
James
-
I know, but at least I can count mine on one hand...for the meantime anyway! :)
Roofing will be teddy bear fur mate. What I am having difficulty deciding is what stone to use for the walls, and weather I should leave the windows open or not...
-
Give the fur a trim with some clippers, it'll work a great when you come to cover it with pva.
You could render it and leave the quoins bare, quick and easy or if you can wait a could of weeks I can get you some rough stonework sheeting that I've used on my peel tower in the WotR thread.
Are you basing on small bases or going to have them diorama style with plenty of space all the way round?
cheers

I can see a use for these in our games, perhaps we should invite him around ;)
They are looking great so far :)

Lovely! :-*
Much more posh than my Saxon church - what's the material? Laser-cut polymer sheet of some kind?
Thanks for posting.

IŽll second that question.

Nice start to things Chris!
Now I'm going to be a pedant. >:D
I believe that simple two cell churches wouldn't have the porch, just a plain door in the side or the end and the windows would be a lot smaller and much narrower. :P

The fur is left over stuff you gave me years ago! :) Wasn't planning on trimming it though, i'll have to do a test piece. I've got some 'random stone' sheeting on order from work, hopefully this will look appropraite. However if you want to give me some more variation of material Jim I won't say no! :D Yes they will by on small bases, they are big enough as they are!

It's clear Acrylic Mitch. I gave it a 'key' which is why it appears frosted.
Thanks for all the comments guys! :)

Hi Damas! How's thing's? :)
Noted. But I did do a little research for once :)
http://www.qlhs.org.uk/oracle/escomb/escomb.htm
http://english-church-architecture.net/shropshire/atcham/atcham.htm
I did think the windows a little on the large side though. May well modify this. But the question is, should they be glazed or left open?

Not bad, still waiting for a lie-in. I think I'm due one in 2030 or so. :?
The Escomb church is a good reference but the porch is a later addition. You can tell from the door arch stonework which is from a later period, and the dressing of the main building stones. The corners of the porch also look like they are Norman or later offset whereas the Anglo-Saxon main building quoins are regular and exibit a pattern similar to long-and-short work. The large window and the very long one are also later additions with the two very small ones possibly being original.
As for the glazing, there wouldn't really be any for a church of this size and status, just very small and very deep set windows.

lol I will be in the same boat shortly!
Thanks for the advise Kev, only wish I'd asked you sooner! I will fill in the windows for much smaller ones and lose the porch, although I do believe it gives it the 'church' feel. Still, historical accuracy over aesthetic!

I'm minded to agree. Even large Anglo Saxon churches seem to be characterised by recessed doors, not porches. Still, saying that the archaeology is far from complete (the people looking after existing churches are loath to have a load of sweaty diggers come and knock the place down to look at previous incarnations of the building, for some strange reason! lol)
Based on my experience with the apse on my Sub-Roman church, I'll point out it's a lot easier to incorporate changes like this before you get it all assembled o_o

Oh, I'm the last person to ever say it can't be done. But if the choice is between moderately difficult and eye-wateringly difficult, I'll take moderately every time and try to do it before I get the whole thing assembled! lol
I've learned my lesson! Well, till the next time anyway ;D

Just a couple of progress shots.

These are looking great...very impressed that you have access to frosted laser cut perspex...when the rest of us mortals (bar mr bibbly) have to make do with foam core and filler >:D
Looking forward to seeing how this progresses...
Do I detect a resurgence in all things Saxon,early medieval on these boards.?
-
Impressive, most impressive. ;)
-
Superb!

A few more progress shots before the painting begins...

It is rather shiny isn't it?
Great stuff Chris. ;D

Looking good. How did you get the layering on the roofing?
-
Both the houses and the church look very good.
Thank you for posting the work-in-progress shots.
Tony
-
Thanks guys.
How did you get the layering on the roofing?
Firstly the teddy bear fur used was cut into strips which was then overlaped on top of each other. Then as I was combing the fur (which had been covered in watered down PVA) I simply pushed the comb in and up a little at the points where it overlaps to accentuate it.
Cheers
Chris
-
Ah - makes sense. I'm going to try this on my next set of houses. Thanks!
-
Looks jolly good. Well done.
-
Looking better with each new post! Lovely work
-
Getting betterer and betterer. Excellent handiwork - well done sir! :)

Finally finished my church and hovels with just under two weeks before the vikings arrive! Progress on the buildings had been slowed due to other scenery being started. First a few shots of the church and houses;
(http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag2/sixmilletoe/001_zps1695506e.jpg) (http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/sixmilletoe/media/001_zps1695506e.jpg.html)

Some rocky patches to be used as difficult terrain;

And some additional shots of the work in progress;

The trees will be removable for ease of access

Gardens, ploughed fields and fences
(http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag2/sixmilletoe/009_zps84e1b6de.jpg) (http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/sixmilletoe/media/009_zps84e1b6de.jpg.html)

And finally, since the wattle fences will be of little use against angry vikings...

Stonking work mate :-* :-*
No bloody wonder you're not coming out on the bikes ;D
cheers
James
-
Wow!
You got some really nicely made terrain, there.
Very nice! :-*
-
Please excuse me for a moment, I'm just going outside to smash all my terrain and buildings with a big hammer! Your work is quite superb!
-
Those buildings are first class eye candy. :-* :-*
-
Splendid stuff :-*
-
Absolutely stonking scenery - nice work!
-
Excellent work - nice textures and basing. Don't want to think how long those wattle fences took to make.
-
Superb...superb...superb.. :o
-
Thanks chaps for all the kind words! :)
Does anyone have any suggestions for what else I could make to go with the rest of the village?
Thinking of doing a pen for live stock, a stone cross, maybe a pond and perhaps a well....
Cheers
Chris
-
How about a Thegn's Hall?
-
That's amazing scenery!
Not to downplay the buildings, but because it's something I might manage myself, where are the trees from?

Not sure about the perspex bases on the fences, but that's probably the evil influence of Bibbly, the perspex king! ;)

Indeed they are! Got them coming out of my ears over here! ;D
But in answer to your question Mister Rab, they are brass etched trees sourced from 4D modelshop. Not the cheapest around but certainly one of the better types and manufacturers. For a similar quality and style try MTP.

Great idea, just not sure I can get it done along with all the rest in time for the 'invasion' next week. It's on the cards for the future though :)

They have yet to be based, flocked and painted, so there will be no visible acrylic. But yes, he is evil! >:D ;D
Thanks again for all the positive comments everyone :)

Chris,
If you need some references for an Anglo Saxon longhall, I might know where there is one to be found!

Just checked out their website, not heard of them before. Their quality seems pretty good. Is that who you guys get your trees from these days? How do their prices compare to MTP? I presume they are cheaper than 4D, most companies are! ;D

Great looking stuff! I'd love to see the wattle fence sections once they're done.
How about a nice little graveyard next to our church? Or a village well? Blacksmith's shop/forge?
Keep the updates and photos coming...they're inspiring to the rest of us...!
Mike Demana

Hey mate,
This looks excellent- could you tell me where you got the stone sheeting for the church/who makes it?
I'd love to attempt something similar!

Matt,
The styrene sheet comes form 'E.M.A' model supplies. You can get it from other places, but I've found they have the best choice, prices and are quick to deliver. The type used on the church is called 'random stone 1:48' I believe. Here is the link;
http://www.ema-models.co.uk/index.php/sheet-materials/plastikard-embossed-styrene.html
However you won't find the quoins, door arch or window dressings in the shops, since these I made myself from acrylic. :D
Hope this helps
Chris

Chris, fantastic work, as per! How did you make the crop fields, esp. the ones I assume are meant to be wheat / barley?
Thanks in advance,

Superb stuff. I am particularly taken by your woods.

By hand, or on a laser? Did you etch the detail like the woodgrain, or is that all painted on?
Excellent job either way!

Mitch,
The crop fields are just sections of door mat which I ran through the circular saw with a slotting blade to help define rows. The field being tilled is just thatch cut to size and scattered. I love making these! They are so quick and simple to produce!
By hand, or on a laser? Did you etch the detail like the woodgrain, or is that all painted on?
Excellent job either way!
- H8
Hatemonger,
Drawn and lasered, then mitred and scratched by hand to give some relief detail. All the wood grain is painted :)
fantastic - so when are we going to see a game?
Fairly soon Eric! A good friend and myself will be taking an extended weekend shortly to play out a long viking invasion campaign. 5 days of beer and wargames and very little else! :D We will document the lot and post it when were done.
I noticed you live fairly local, do you play on a regular basis at a club?
Thanks
Chris

Wow, I just caught up on this thread. Everything looks great, wish my stuff was as handsomely handcrafted.

Mitch,
The crop fields are just sections of door mat which I ran through the circular saw with a slotting blade to help define rows. The field being tilled is just thatch cut to size and scattered. I love making these! They are so quick and simple to produce!
Chris,
What? Coconut matting as per wiping your feet?! I would never have thought, but yeah, ideal! :-*
When you say "slotting blade", do you mean one of those uber-thin kerf ones as used by luthiers, or something different?
Cheers,
Mitch

Weren't we all mush! lol I keep trying to persuade a friend of mine who is a crafter that he really, really needs a laser cutter but so far he is not budging! :(

Inspiring! Love the feel of the village, would probably love it even more if we could see a shot of the whole thing set up for play! :-*

It's a very thin blade for a table saw, usually 1mm thick with flat teeth.

I know! Easiest. Scenery. Ever.
Yeah, its a flat top blade for a bed saw. I used a 3mm one for the fields.

Right, I'm with you. I'll have to see if my common or garden variety combination performance blade can get somewhere near the effect.

Now that you've said that, I feel dense asking more about it, but... I don't quite understand.
Do you cut the mat into strips to lay it down, or you use the thin blade just to chop out some of the matting in little "channels", to mark the rows? Meaning, in your case, you carved out 3mm gaps in the mat?

I thought I had understood it. But now I'm not so sure... :?
I was going with the plough lanes through the matting without going to full depth approach, using the mitre gauge on the saw. I wasn't looking forward to the mess!
-
Wow! Very impressive! While the church is spectacular, I do also quite like your fields and fences. I'm in the mood for terraforming! :)
Regarding the laser cut acrylic... What type of laser cutter are you using? Sorry if that was replied to before. Couldn't find anything when I scanned the thread.

The terrain is looking awesome.

The latter H8. The mat was cut into the rectangular shape, then turned upside down and ran over the saw.
Hope this helps :)
