Author Topic: Anglo Saxon Church, village and other dark age scenery finished!  (Read 19222 times)

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;








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




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




Thanks for looking!

Chris

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!
Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe, hammer to fit, paint to match!

Excellent work - nice textures and basing. Don't want to think how long those wattle fences took to make.

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

That's amazing scenery!

Not to downplay the buildings, but because it's something I might manage myself, where are the trees from?

Very nice. Love the church. Well done.
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.

How about a Thegn's Hall?

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 :)
