Ye Olde Village WIP

[grant]

Well, I didn't quite get them done, but they are on their way!

Three houses, for a village that might serve from ECW to Napoleonic period. Foamboard, plasticard, balsa, polyfilla, gesso, toweling for thatch, and I kind of wimped out and scrounged some doors and windows from my GW bits box. Still haven't quite figured out how to do decent windows and doors.

A nice start for a town.I hope toi see more of that from you.
But windows are simple, as simple as making miniatures. Just cut everything away that looks wrong.
No, the trick is the framework.

Thanks Mike! I was surprised they worked; I did modify most of them, but they seemed to work!

Nice buildings Grant. I have just read this months Wargames Illustrated (issue 293). There is a great article about scratch building a watermill with the ingenious idea of using of a domestic plastic ventilation grill to make windows.
