Many thanks for the generous replies.

I really enjoyed completing this, but currently have so little time spare to get anything done. More as & when I can.

That ship looks simply marvelous. I'm one who truly appreciates when design bends a bit to playability. I've seen many beautiful, intricate models...which suck when it comes to gaming! That ship looks marvelous...almost inspiring me to do one for some old west riverboat adventures...

A small native village:

More a family group of huts rather than a village. I may later build a larger village or some additions to this one to create a larger settlement.

The base is cut from 4mm MDF (approx 12" x 9" to fit in a file box for storage/transport).

The enclosure is cut from a cheap IKEA bamboo window blind I bought ages ago to break up for modelling purposes. The thread holds the blind together, although I found by trail and (mostly) error that once it is removed from the rest of the blind it untwists and you end up with a pile of short bamboo sticks and some thin thread! I solved this by running cheap (Pound shop) cyanoacrylate along the line of thread before cutting. I used some very old greenstuff to fix it to the base.

I will add another short length of fencing to form a more defendable entranceway.

There is just enough space for 3 huts. These will be free-standing to make placing miniatures etc inside easy.

The body of the hut is a section of Pringle tube (other snack-based card tubes may be available). Around this I used PVA to glue part of a (Pound shop) grass beach mat. It makes for a great texture which may need little or no painting. I will need to cut out doorways and maybe add a curtain or similar before adding a roof to each one.

The Ruga-Ruga have received slightly more paint, but progress is rather slow as I get (easily) distracted making buildings etc....

Looking very promising

Looks great. I myself is thinking on getting an African village so this will be great source for inspiration.

Cursed be this forum and all the shiny stuff.. My poor valet and freetime...
