I reckon once you have given them a good rub with some sand paper they will look great. Nice name for the town as well lol

Frantic day at work so I needed to blow off some steam when I got home – dinner consumed and three hours later I finished the chapel of Corbertiza (Pirate Island’s town has a name)
For a full picture run through drop by on the blog...www.shedwars.blogspot.com



For scale purposes I used Basil the Hamster (no figures to hand)

very nice building!
In my opinion, the grass and the other green parts are not at the level of the rest of the structure, though. You might experiment a little on those before the rest of the buildings!
