They look pretty damn good Michael.

Good to see that you've gone the extra yard and added some decoration. I don't see this as ahistorical at all, in fact if you look at Early Medieval warriors in general, they liked to put on a good show.

And so have you  8).

Look really good - hoping to use mine for 15th century, so a few gothic patterns to add to the outside I think.

You didn't used the tent pole?  There is one on the sprue for each of the open tents.

Great work on the designs BTW - I am going to use them as inspiration!

I emailed them asking about Roman or Arab tents and received this reply:

Thank you for your comments about our products - our own range we fit in whenever we have some spare time from the core part of our business which is manufacturing figure moulds for external customers
 
We have a few things in the pipeline at the moment - gabions, a church (style similar to our NA Farmhouse and Store), wrought iron style railings for going around a churchyard and a saxon style house - not planning anymore tents in at the moment though
