Wow!  That looks amazing Admiral, beautiful job on it.

With the addition of some mash tubs in the courtyard it would make a large brewery - just the sort of thing my chaps like to fight over :)

I just went to have a look on the Vatican Enterprises site, and it's actually been updated!!!

Some 'new' buildings added... Though I have seen these available before, I think from the site I got mine from (Michigan Toy Solider). There is a cut-down version of the village/farm complex posted above, just the inn portion of it...



And a cool new set which has two small houses with a shared walled courtyard.



There is also a siege minehead which claims to be new, though I think I've seen it before?

(though where are the additional gatehouse and gate from?)

The additional parts were scratchbuilt from foamcard, card, plasticard, some woodstrips, milliput, greenstuff and an old Citadel dungeon door ...

Here's the next one painted. A cottage and a barn based together. The wattle fences and the little animal shed are form the plastic Perry Miniatures cottage. The tree is Woodland Scenics.

I went for a different colour scheme here, still all done with rough drybrushing and washes, relying on my most trusted product - Army Painter dark tone wash.. The beams I did more of a greyish brown rather the dark grey / black of the last one. The walls are highlighted up from Vallejo Chocolate Brown mixing in Army Painter Bonewhite, followed by numerous washes including some green around the bottom of the panels. The barn is base coated a dark murky brown mix, heavily 'wet-brushed' with Chocolate Brown, drybrushed up in layers adding light grey to the mix, then a wash of the trusty dark tone.

The dirt yard I almost messed up - its textured with filler, but rather than lightly stippling I ended up turning it into a muddy mess with huge ridges and lumps. I used a brown flock roughly over the lot though to hide the over-the-top texture, and think it worked out fine.









And here are both houses together.

Looks terrific - becoming more of a small town, than a village  ;)
