Gosh    I missed this thread..great figures-and outstanding village!!!

Fantastic!  You have inspired me to do the same (some day...)

BTW - what do you plan to use for the village/town church?

[SgtPerry]

Dom,

frankly, I don't know yet. My first project was very similar to the one that Grimm built.

I have technical requirements with 4 13cm long roof sheets, I can have a tower  of 8cmx8cm, so the remaining roof length is about 18cm.

I can put the tower on the far end, or in the middle. I don't know if I should texture the walls with plaster or with stone or both.

The churches in Normandy are more like English ones (grey stone in the Norman style, surprisingly enough!), they aren't really like the one that Grimm built for me, that's supposed to be a church for the Alsace/Lorraine area of eastern France (or western Germany, depending on the year).

[SgtPerry]

There are so many different styles and periods that it's a bit difficult to have a generic one.

I must confess that if I can use it for Dark Ages games, it would be fine too so a roman / norman church would be interesting.

A very inspiring page

Very nice link!

Do you think the Hovels 15mm European Church would be alright, or is it a bit small?

[Plynkes]

Yeah, a mind-boggling array of different church styles in France. When I googled "Alsace church" I got several different types, so I sent all the pictures to Grimm and told him to just use them as inspiration and do whatever he liked. I was happy with the results. Oddly enough, what he came up with looks just like Rommel's sketch of the church in Bleid, which is what I wanted it for. A very happy coincidence!

I like the Romanesque ones myself, but they'd probably be a right pain to scratchbuild. Like this one in Perigueux, a place where I went on holiday:


Fancy building that in 28mm? I don't!  

[SgtPerry]

Very nice link!

Do you think the Hovels 15mm European Church would be alright, or is it a bit small?

I don't know. I checked the Hovels 25mm one with Artizan or BAM figures and it is really small.



It's sad for it exists a damanef version too

I like the Romanesque ones myself, but they'd probably be a right pain to scratchbuild.

I built this romanesque bell tower a coupe of years back after plans by Alan Harrison. I won't say it was a quick build but it wasn't too bad.

I am very much into Roman and Romanesque buildings and I would in some other life like to build me and the wife a profane Cisterciensian monestry complete with galleries, wells and herb garden.
