Thanks for the comments, the little warm glow it gives me keeps me plugging away
Well, against my better judgement, I thought I'd have a go at scratch building a cornish type drystone wall. This took a bit of time....
Still crap phone photos Im afraid.
Starting with a polystyrene core and lots of plaster casting, we get to here;
By complete luck, I cut the polystyrene to a size where I could get a base layer and four courses, but I decided that the coping stones needed some additional matchstick support;
Finally, once we add some basic groundwork, we get to a point ready for flocking;
I'll have enough to provide a small wall for the Manor once these are done, as long as it sits on the table edge. The drystone is then going on the back burner as a long term project. I have started some simple earth banks (much quicker) which will be used as field boundaries.
The local Squire has taken a very robust approach to maintaining law and order, ostenesibly against those breaking God's Writ - and that of the King/Parliment depending whose watching - but mainly to keep the peasants suitably subservient...
Apologies - I cant get this one in focus. The rope looks slightly better in reality, a more 'scale' thread wasn't really visible, but I think these need revisting at some point. Twigs, to save painting.
Still waiting for a few bits to arrive, hopefully the village housing will be here by the end of the week. I have started a root collection to get some wind stunted, knarled trees going - stealing Blackwolf's method, Im hoping I can get a small bit of his atmosphere.
Cheers.
