I imagine so!   Should have read a few scriptures instead!

As I said, I found the couple of houses from Oshiro that I ordered last year… (must have stashed the box away as soon as they arrived 🤔) and glued them together….painrwork started….



In time I also want to get these two painted too….a smaller chapel and a mausoleum for the graveyard.



Talking of which…..I’m wondering whether or not to build a few more sections for the graveyard?   I’m thinking in its own right, it makes for a great gaming arena…..I just need to make it large enough to dominate the table, but I also need to think what other features I could add into it for interests sake…..

Statues, disused fountains, overgrown trees & shrubs, a hearse (different for different periods of history),
'fresh' graves, family crypts and family plots complete with their own walls & gate.

Great stuff, the Oshiro houses are superb. A larger graveyard would be a splendid idea.

Cheers guys.




…. family plots complete with their own walls & gate.

I like this idea…kind of graveyard within a graveyard!    I have seen a domed piece that would look good too….time to make an order!

Lovely work on these Digits :) the graveyard sounds great, I have similar plans! A full graveyard would be a brilliant table to play on!

Thank you sir!

Yes, I agree, but I think I need to think how to add some elevation to it to.    I need a think, but I’m sure it will come to me…..

Mine are currently stuck in Canada Customs; I look forward to seeing your work on these - they are such superb structures.

How about one of your cliff edged hills?
1) Flat backed with a low relief 'House of Usher' with a (tortuous) path leading up to it.
2) 360 degree with 2 or 3 ways up & either the chapel or private cemetery on top.
3) Put the main graveyard up on blocks & have a recently opened chasm leading to Hell.

Sorry to hear of your customs issues!

Here you go then, my attempt at painting them.  I bought two plus a few out houses and I may well end up ordering the third one and the grain store.   I do hope there may be more structures in the pipeline? 😇

The barn is Grand Manner….sadly he’s stopped producing his other medieval buildings.   There are a few in the Total Battle Miniatures catalogue and a few thatched small buildings and a barn from Debris of War…..will probably get a few if these in good time…
