Following on from my unfortunate accident in 2023, the MIB (Motor Insurance Board) paid out (rather quickly to be fair) on the compensation claim. As a firm believer in the "it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" principle, I thought that I would treat myself to a little something hobby related!! And here it is; or at least most of it - I have a nice church and a couple of redoubts still to come.
The buildings are by David of T M Terrain - a superb model maker, whose work graces many a tabletop. The brief was for cottages/barns suitable for rural Germany for my existing Napoleonic and planned Seven Years War collections. I hope you will agree that he has done an excellent job.
Rather than have the buildings embedded in specific "modules", I opted to have them done as free standing structures that I can put together in any number of ways to make up villages of different sizes and shapes according to what I might need for each individual game. I am currently working on a load of Renedra fencing, which will be added to the buildings to give interest and define boundaries, along with the occasional tree and other odds and ends. Although not as "integrated" as complete village modules, they should still look pretty good whilst offering much greater flexibility. I will report on progress as I make it.
They are really very nice, should look great on the games table, you must be very happy with them.
ReplyDeleteYes, I must admit I am. Need to get a game organised!
DeleteSome great work Steve!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. Pity it isn't my own, but I don't mind recruiting mercenaries from time to time!!
