Starting a village

[DeafNala]

That's a FINE start to The Project...I usually do the buildings & then add the denizens, but the other way around can be as enjoyable & work just as well. Be warned though, terrain building is highly addictive. That said, have FUN with it all!

[Silent Invader]

A nice project!

I did something similar with the Perry houses, which are quite easy to convert to different arrangements. Btw the cabbages are paper 'rose buds' from a card making store.

As it happens, in the near future I'll be putting all the buildings onto a few 30cm sq tiles, as that's what I'm using these days.

Deafnala, thanks, I will have fun. I've always enjoyed building terrain immensely, I just had to stop for a while as I didn't have a place to store any new thing I'd build.

Silent Invader, that looks great  , and fairly close to the look I'm aiming for. I'll have a thorough read-through of your thread for inspiration.

Oh thanks for the rosebud tips ! My own village need some vegetables 

[Silent Invader]

You're welcome! I actually picked up the rosebud idea here on LAF.

[Modhail]

A week or so ago, I discovered that a model shop in the next city, that had closed it's doors quite some time ago, had apparently quietly un-closed them under different management. They have a large range of Noch, so now I have a little packet of lasercut-paper cabbage and rhubarb (not really entirely medieval, but I can pass them off as leeks of some sort, I hope) to try out and see how I like them.

I've since also finished the chickens, and as of yesterday, the peasant woman tending to them:


I'm also thinking of using some vines I already have as beanstalks, just drape them over a frame, and I've yet to find the rosebuds locally (mainly through a lack of actively looking yet...). Once I have those, I can build a basic vegetable garden to test drive these things.

[DeafNala]

I must admit that those are probably the first chickens I've seen in a Fantasy setting; AND they are LOVELY chickens. VERY WELL DONE!

[Modhail]

Thanks, DeafNala!
You have to have something worth fighting over, after all. Orcs don't loot villages just for the ambiance, do they?

Well said! AND you can't eat gold...for the most part.

Rhubarb has been known as a medical herb in Europe since medieval times (probably spread by monks?).

I hope to see more of this project

Thanks, Argonor, I didn't know that.

I'll get back to it eventually. The Muse has been on holiday lately, but I'm sure she'll visit my little hamlet again sometime.
