Thank you.

Bit of a busy period recently so haven't made much more progress but on the table are a couple more units (including the first mounted) while I'm pulling together the parts for a small chapel based on Keills:

Sorry, I've been away. I just want to add my voice to all those of you praising the tower house and village. Absolutely amazing.

Thanks Paul, much appreciated!

Thank you.

Bit of a busy period recently so haven't made much more progress but on the table are a couple more units (including the first mounted) while I'm pulling together the parts for a small chapel based on Keills:



The building and walls for the Kirk (chapel/church) have arrived. These are 3D prints from the same architect and printer as the Tower House.

The main building is actually a small barn. Its roof is a bit fantasy being propped up by external timbers but they will be cut away and the brick work remade. The two wall sections with extraneous 'gate gaps' will be filled in.

The Celtic Cross - which I started to make as a standalone item for the centre of the village, before deciding a church was required - is a 3D print (I think in 1/72 scale or thereabouts) from a model railroad supplier.

The Kirk will be elevated on a mound, with the gated graveyard having a few recent burials though I doubt I'll bother with gravestones.





If only I'd put the roof on square for the photos  o_o

Worry not, it is just to give us ordinary modellers an idea of what the finished, sorry, beautifully finished build will look like.  :)

You could do some simple wooden crosses instead of actual stones. Easier and a bit more fitting with the setting.
