One tip for the LBMS transfers: When you first get the sheet, peel the entire sheet of covering plastic off, then lay it back down again. It helps if you peel it mostly off but leave the edge attached so that you can lay it back down precisely.

I do this because over time, the glue seems to set more strongly. I've had to throw out several older sheets of LBMS transfers because I simply couldn't remove the protective plastic sheeting without destroying the transfer. If you peel the sheet of first, and lay it back down, it doesn't set in place as strongly and when it comes time to actually use the transfer it removes a lot more easily.

Great work on your models, and that building looks awesome as well!

That is great advice - I think I must do that with my shields and banners transfers!
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

That came out great, the thatch is really well done. The color looks way more accurate than what I was able to accomplish.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

The long house has come out really well, the dragons heads certainly look the business, but to make them stand out even more have you considered painting them in brighter colours.

Everyone needs a dung heap - go for it. lol lol

Did someone say dungheaps!?

I don't know how but I have completely missed this thread. Some great stuff going on here. I like the dragon heads and the thatch on the house.
