Medieval Village

[Dr DeAth]

Rather than have lots of different threads about the builds for the Medieval village for my Robin Hood Adventures, I'll just keep adding to this one.


**************

Painted and based an old resin haystack that's been in my 'to do' box for years.  Unsure who the manufacturer is unfortunately as I'd like another one.  

Primed and based on 2mm mdf



finished with a oil paint wash and a few coats of dry-brushed Foundry canvas colour.  Loose straw on the base are fibres cut from coir doormat.  Total time spent about an hour and a half (excluding drying times between each stage)

Looks great

This is lovely. Hugely versatile. I meant a couple myself now 
Great job fella

[Dan]

I think the Haystack is from John Jenkins Design. I have that one plus a smaller version. I like how you have based it.

[Mason]

Looks great!
 

Seriously versatile, I must have some myself.
 


Is Robin hiding in there somewhere?

Great painting and basing.

Sure looks like the JJD ones http://www.johnjenkinsdesigns.com/JVB04.htm from the Japanese Building range - currently out of stock though 

[FramFramson]

Really nice!

Sure looks like the JJD ones http://www.johnjenkinsdesigns.com/JVB04.htm from the Japanese Building range - currently out of stock though 

It is one of the JJD ones that you linked, I googled it after Dan suggested it earlier.  I'm going to order a set now I know there are other versions so I've mailed to ask about the stock levels. 

Is Robin hiding in there somewhere?
 

Of course not, he's in the woods 

[Captain Blood]

Rather good. 

[Petracelli]

Excellent, look forward to setting fire to it with my Brits!

[Malamute]

Looks good enough to have a roll in.

[Dolmot]

Looks good enough to have a roll in.

That's how you find the needle.

Added an animal pen and some more haystacks:

Started with the very versatile Rendra wattle fencing on a 2mm MDF base and added a polystyrene former for the building



Double checked the fit for the livestock



Added fur fabric thatch and balsa wood sides, sprayed the fence with halford's khaki paint



Basing done with the obligatory sand and thinned PVA glue mix.  Added a door at this point too to give it some more interest.



Finished the painting - wattle has been given a wash of thinned burnt umber oil paint and a few details picked out.  Thatch is foundry canvas triad.



Grass tufts and static grass applied and thatch aged using a mix of brown and green inks



Added a bit of straw to the interior so the animals are comfy



Some more haystacks from John Jenkins Designs (excellent service from John in HK) finished as the other at the beginning of the article. Also made a dung heap which is just  old bristles and coir matting strands soaked in thinned PVA and then piled up. Some static grass added to the top to look like the grass it taking hold.
