My SAGA begins - 23.12.: Berserkers!

[Utgaard]

Here are the details for the interior of the long house - some chests to stow the possessions of the inhabitants, table and stools and last but not least a bed.
Everything is self-made except for the small box.

The fur on the bed and the pillows are made of Greenstuff - for the first attempt reasonably ok, I definitely need a lot more practice for this stuff.

[Hu Rhu]

Lovely details, especially the bed. 

[Utgaard]

Thank you 

[Gangleri]

Excellent work all around.  The attention to detail is superb; it took me a few views to notice that the bedstraw is visible under the blankets.  Also the idea for the thatching is great.

[Utgaard]

Thank you very much - I did not even expect anyone to notice 

[aircav]

More Brilliant stuff 

[Utgaard]

Many thanks, aircav 

The interior is completed for now - what would a Viking household be without any weapons and shields?




Next step is to build a little outdoor part containing a little garden for herns and vegetables and a pen for pigs and maybe other livestock. And a good farm of course needs a proper dunghill (hope this is the correct expression for the german word "Misthaufen").




Some of the future inhabitants of my littleViking farm.

[Anselm van Helsing]

What manufacturer made the animals? Are they metal or plastic or resin?

[Utgaard]

Cat and the chickens are plastics from Warlord, the pigs are metal ones from Warbases.

[Utgaard]

The longhouse for my Vikings is completed now.

I have also built a small garden and a pen for animals like pigs or goats, so that the residents can also provide some foof for themselfs - you can not always go on raids, even as a Viking ;-)









Naturally, all good farms also have a few chickens and a dung heap.


And of course a cat to hold the mice at bay.

[Hu Rhu]

Very nice indeed.    Did I miss something as to why the central ridge is made of different material?

[aircav]

Looks fantastic 
The garden is superb 

[Codsticker]

Lovely! Very cozy and homey looking.

[Utgaard]

Thank you very much guys 

@Hu Rhu: It´s a kind of turf/sod (in German called Grassoden).
I have seen this on some reconstructions in museum villages. On the one hand the roof ridge should be better waterproof, on the other hand this makes it safer against strong wind or storm due to the weight of the earth.

[Smoke Frog]

That is a beautiful and meticulously detailed farm, you have lavished a great deal of effort into it and it has paid off!

And I really liked how you painted the shields on the first page.
