Not-So Merry England: UD 6/2 Hedge Gates

[Silent Invader]

So after Jon’s intriguing suggestions, a ponder was had, and then a consult with the chaps that’ll likely play on it. In short, there’s been a layout change! My thanks to all who have contributed.

The base board needs to be trimmed in some places but edged/extended elsewhere to incorporate the moat. The barn will use the wall for two of its sides. The gates will likely be inserted into slots. The locations of the low wall and rear gate will be fixed when the outbuildings are sorted.

Yes, that’s a better layout 

I guess I’ll have to buy some artillery

Looks very good. I have two castles needing a similar layout…

[anevilgiraffe]

Looks lovely, where are the walls from?

It's a blood lovely looking piece already, can't wait for the paint to go on.

[Silent Invader]

Thanks folks - feedback and comments much appreciated.

I guess I’ll have to buy some artillery 

Oh yes. Though a storming party or two might not go amiss to ‘blow the bloody doors off’

Inspirational Steve 

The Oshiro windows make it pop and the new layout works really well - look forward to seeing it painted

[Captain Blood]

A splendid creation already Steve

Thanks chaps.

More pictures soon as progress has been made…. Gates, chimneys, outbuildings.

A few images showing progress.



The front and rear gates can be removed as they fit into slots:



The front gates can be swapped out for wrought iron alternatives:



The internal gates are fixed into position:



The outbuildings in the yard:



The next jobs will be to extend the base to include the moat and to render the planked parts of the main house:

Damn it Steve, you could slow down, you are putting the rest of us to shame 

Seriously though, love the alternative options for the gate....the whole piece is really coming together.

He's a machine! It's looking great.

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps 

It’ll slow up soon …. When I have to clean up mould lines and start filling holes 

Today I’ll probably be able to find a few minutes to extend and shape the base and maybe start setting out the moat.
