Wonderful. I'm with Jens - nowhere near enough pictures!  ;)

The only thing that looks a bit strange to my eye is the raw lump of polystyrene composing the motte...  :?
Did you consider texturing the exterior of the hill with filler and then grassing it? (Or maybe that's still in the plan - I know you said it's not finished)

But a very impressive and evocative piece whichever way you look at it.

Any chance of a top view for the forest? I've built that style of forest for small scale games but it honestly never occured to me to do it for 28mm.

Here you go

yeah,  :)  I have not done any work on the 'ground Work' yet,  there is plenty of basing materials that I will add at the moment I am working on getting the walls and buildings to a point where I am happy, then I will move on to the earthworks.

Oh  and I forgot to post updated pictures of the Pyramid.
Not exactly how I would have done it if it was for myself, however its what the customer wanted and they are very happy with it.



Cheers all.

Really nice work Rabbitz. I particularly like the Mott and Bailey… I can almost hear the horses galloping thru the main gate 8
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://tistaminis.com/

The Motte and Bailey looks stunning!
What does that go for?  ;)
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Not much done today due to a tiring day at work and cutting my thumb with one of the first cuts of the afternoon.    Doh.

Lovely stuff!

By the way it's not a proper model unless you bleed over it. I think the god of modelling requires blood sacrifice to make this good a model!!!

Hey R,

How far are you from the bushfire?

Thankfully pretty far.  We moved up the Perth Hills so now live slightly west of Mundaring. What about Yourself?

Ah, didn't notice that on your moniker. Trip home to Safety Bay was 2 hours thanks to train stoppages and bus replacements. Fortunately the bushfire is well south of here, well, at least 10 minutes away.  ::)
