Indeed very nice and envious you can scratch build and build that well! Nice feel to the village.

Would work well with many eras, I'd use them for Napoleonic Wars. Nice job.

Marc, They are pretty easy to do, to be honest, just a box covered in plaster!! If I can do them, anyone should be able to easily enough!

14bore, yeah, they are not period specific, which was part of the intention!

GReg BRad21 Feb 2013 4:09 a.m. PST

These are great well done.

Very nice buildings, love the burnt out version of the church.

How did you get the thatched roof effect?

Abwehrschlacht22 Feb 2013 12:15 a.m. PST

@donlowry I built a roof shape with cereal box card, then covered it in filler (cheap stuff, not Tetrion!), then simply etched the thatch with a cocktail stick. It actually didn't take as long as I thought it would!
