What a superb idea regarding the use of cord for vines! It looks so realistic. What type of flock did use to replicate the vine leaves?
I am really enjoying your progress and ideas, many thanks.

smart idea and great execution!

Agreed!

[Warboss Nick]

Thank you everyone! That’s a great motivation to go on.

It’s nothing fancy, just normal flock for trees or bushes. The kind some people create by shredding and dyeing a sponge. Mine is from Noch / Woodland Scenics, and I use three different colours (mostly darker for this).

Next I’ll try some flock for flowers. Not sure if it will generate enough volume though.

This is coming along nicely. Could even see this set up being used in a SCW setting as well.

[Warboss Nick]

Thanks, commisarmoody! I tried to make them generic enough that they can be used in as many periods and settings as possible (with a little leeway).

[Warboss Nick]

More houses finished. On one of them I tried vines with flowers. Not 100% happy with the result, but it’s a nice enough variant to add more colour to my growing village.

Yes, the vines add a very nice touch!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Ah! I am a big fan of vegetation on houses. Looking great!

[Digits]

The vines look fantastic mate and great colour splashes as you say.

[CapnJim]

They look good to me.  Got any figures who could be tending to those vines?

[Warboss Nick]

@CapnJim I do have some civilians and more on the pile of shame. Unfortunately no time at the moment to get everything out for nice pictures though.

Next up the last of December‘s builds. This one got a slightly different shade for its walls, but I decided against coloured doors and shutters in the end. The crucifix got an all stone look.

[Warboss Nick]

Also finished the Italian Large Keep Tower from Magister Militum. It’s some kind of foam covered with resin I think. A bit dated and needed a lot of cleaning and cutting, but a very nice model non the less, that had been waiting for years to get painted.

For now it will populate my Peninsular town, and I might add barricades or a little walled courtyard. In the long run the plan is to add buildings and walls that can be used either separately or as a small castle.

Great builds 

[CapnJim]

They look good, too!
