Chris,

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

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.

Thank you!

Please show me! :)

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

Just better service than MTP, Susan, the lass there is great to deal with and they are happy to do custom ones as well.

(you out on Saturday?)

They have yet to be based, flocked and painted, so there will be no visible acrylic. But yes, he is evil!  >:D

Aha! I stand corrected. In that case, BRILLIANT - sans reservations  :D

And yes, he is  ;)

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...!

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!

All good ideas, I'll get on those as soon as possible. :)

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;

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

Everything finished. First the woods;




Wattle fences;




Fields and Vegetable patches;








And in context;



Palisade wall;





And finally a stone cross for the village centre;



Now to paint some more troops and villagers to defend it all! :)

Thanks for looking,

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,

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