Medieval buildings and scenic scatter.


I've been progressing well with the Barons' War project and wanted to add to the terrain collection

The first piece is a 3D printed house ordered from the seller TCWminiatures3D on Etsy.



It's a lovely piece with bags of detail.


The interior is nicely detailed too.



The next piece is a market stall, also from TCWminiatures3D


I'd rate this one as "fair" it's massively over sized, that mug on the bar is about the size of a space marines torso!




Again, some nice, if large, interior detail.


Last up from TCWminiatures3D, I tagged a few accessories onto my order.


A rather nice fountain, I added some water effects.

I'm sure that the stair case will come in handy somewhere. The barrels were picked up at the FIASCO show last year, not sure of the trader.


I've already got quite a few Renedra pieces in the collection, but they do come out nicely, so I added some more. 



I do like to add vegetable patches to these builds, it makes them more lived in.


This is a wattle and daub outbuilding with wattle fences, the fence posts are made from satay skewers.



The last piece in this post is a vegetable patch using more Renedra wattle fencing. The gate is built from coffee stirrers.

Victoria stepped up to the mark when I said I'd like some model cabbages!

Barons' War additions(6)


Another productive week on the Barons' War collection with 20 new foot soldiers painted.

Five more spearmen to add to existing units




I always seem to be needing more crossbowmen so another seven were added.



There is only one loose quiver per sprue so I did some creative solutions with the "hand on quiver" arms, trimming off the hand and arm and either leaving an empty quiver, or covering with a bedroll.




These two archers will also slot into existing units.





A Knight and a pair of Serjeants.


The Knight is an example of using a simple VVV shield decal as part of the basecoat and then adding a couple of highlights at a later stage.


Lastly trio of three more foot Serjeants.



It's a petty good shot of the arrow through the shield, these spare arrows from the Peasants set are really useful for this.
