Hi guys, I've spent a few spare hours knocking a new building together for European horse and musket games. I've posted a short, pic heavy, how-I-did on my blog. Hope someone finds it useful. link |

A very clever idea to use the teddy fur for the thatched rood. Well done. I look forward to your finishing report. |

Nice! The thatched roof looks particularly good. Mine always end up looking like a Wookie with a part in it's hair. |
