 Blacksmiths workshop with field forge and big workshop forge based on Gueledon Castle.

Forge is a prototype - there will be a mark 2 version later.



Second building is the carpenters' workshop also inspired by Gueledon Castle.

I think this will get a towelling thatched roof.

That's an amazing set of small details. Are most of those weapons printed?

The weapons, helmets and shields are mostly from Perry plastic sprues plus a few metal lances.

I have four medieval armies that are based on Perry plastic figures. Agincourt English & French and Swiss & Burgundy.
I have a box full of leftover sprues which I harvested to get the parts.

And this build will be useful for all 4 of them too...

Wonderful work; there's so many pieces already!

This will definitely add some nice atmosphere to any medieval table. Honestly, with a proper base I can easily imagine it as a showcase in a museum.
I can't wait to see it all painted.

Very nice collection of bits that will set the scene very well.  Thumbs up on the progress.
