I have found time to continue work on some of the buildings that will act as either the suburbs of Shrewsbury or stand stand inside the Motte and Bailey.
I made a scratch built model of a Saxon house about 20 years ago and a chap at the SESWC club in Edinburgh, the owbner of Stronghold Miniatures, offered to cast me a number up for me.
Here's one of then castings tarted up- there are more but I plan to use the thatch on some of the buildings to substitute for burning thatch by adding wire wool suitably sprayed to make it look like smoke. An idea stolen from James Morris when i attended one of the fab Newark WAB Campain Days of yesteryear.
