[XIII th C] Occitan village

[Byblos]

Hi !

Here's the beginning of my occitan /balkanic / greek village from the XIII th Century ... ...

Inspired by the Osprey about the Cathar castles ...



It will count about 7 or 8 buildings ...

Here the 1st house :

Fantastic!  Will these be available for purchase?  The Albigensian Crusades offer a lot of cool small scale gaming scenarios.

Looks interesting 

What's the material you've used for the walls?

cheers

For the wall i used engraved Depron (3mm) glued on a "carton-plume" base (3mm) , then i used "pâte ā modeler durcissante" (i don't know the english translation  ) (Giotto) to make "plaster walls"

I was hoping that these were masters for a product going into production.

Very professional-looking terrain build.

Would the buttresses have served a real purpose or were they just a decorative element?

Superb looking model and one that would put may of the commercially available kits to shame- really excellent work

Iīll second that!!
How are the doors made?

[Byblos]

Oh no : to not "waste" time , i used an already-made door , bought from "Décors miniatures" a french web store : i only super-detailed this door with a "ring"

This is the only part of this house that it's no scratch-build ...

The "volets" of the windows are made from Balsa , cardboard and "accastillages" from naval kits parts ...

I could try to make masters for production (after all) but i need time to learn how to use silicon and resin , and to have somme money to buy the tools and materials  

Why not !? But it will take some time !

Lovely stuff! Nice to see someone doing the Occitan/Albigensian Crusade era justice! Bravo and encore!
