OK, apologies for the poor photos - very rusty...
First up, a hillock - I wanted something to break up the flat surface a bit, and did a small ridge line, with a worn path down the middle. I think the grass needs to be a bit thicker and may add some more bushes.

The usual 'mini-disc' recess allows various bits to be added - a tree, the gibbet and so on.

In this instance it's the next item - a chicken coop. A small cardboard piece from Petite Properties 1/48 dolls house range. Again, I think it needs a touch up, bit more grey weathering - it's been a long time. The chicken is from Mega-Minis if memory serves, one of those things that has been kicking around for ever it seems.

And finally, a small add on for the houses, a little garden plot, cabbages and some sickly looking herbs. I did toy with doing a climbing frame of something, but thought it might be a little anachronistic. The wattle fencing is from eBay and is designed for railway layouts, but I reckon it does ok for 28mm. A stray bit of bush in the corner, and escaping out the other side to help hide a dodgy join.


anyhoo, hopefully there will be another update within a year this time

windows have been ordered from 4ground with the intention of starting to paint the manor house....
