The basics of the first 4 houses are assembled for a test of the layout.





Still lots to do to each building plus a 5th single storey house and the well to add.

The buildings and the well are now assembled, though I do need to add more timber and then rendering to the buildings, and sculpt bricks onto the well. The masking tape tabs show where chimneys will go. Though next up I think  I’ll add the wattle fences to the gardens.

That looks superb. Like Matt says, a great gaming/realism balance you're achieving there.

Brill  :)

Second picture down though, I would suggest that the chimney goes further towards the back of the house and a bit higher up on the roof.

This is looking very good Steve  :-*
I wonder if it needs a couple of smaller outbuildings / sheds / lean-tos dotted around as well? Or maybe that’s in the plan already :)
Obviously the fences and gardens will help establish the buildings in their landscape a bit more, but I wonder if they look a wee bit, um, statuesque, standing as they are, sans clutter?
Just a thought.
Difficult to tell until you’ve finished all the groundwork and greening, obvs.

I very much agree with you. I had in mind the Renedra timber/plaster outbuilding but at approx 10 x 7 cm it’s too big to squeeze into a garden. In any event I have a ton of bits left over from the GW kits that’d help with a scratchbuild or three. Previous poster Jon had suggested buildings etc at the ends of garden and I’m going to see what works when I start to put in the fencing. I have a lot of barrels etc as well to add life, plus there’s trees and hedges to be planted.  :)

 :D

I’ve worked out that I can fit 3 outbuildings at garden ends and 2 smaller ones attached to houses, all from the kit parts plus plasticard, which is pleasing. They’ll all be beams and render.    8)
