That's rather good. I like it.

Is it resin or plastic?

All the buildings are resin, fences are plastic by Renedra.

That looks really great! And well done on the painting.

This is most definately on my "must buy" list. This is usefull for both fantasy, dark age and medieval games.

The ovens are added to give the feel of a living farm not just a collection of buildings.
If you want to increase the feel of a larger settlement,then add the hay stack and dung heap set .This set add's even more to the story telling of your farm,

I have seen it in the flesh, so to speak, and it is really very good. Clean crisp casting and lots of bits with multiple uses.
Super value.
