A wee Hielan village

Post by ochoin »

I finished a Highland village for my ECW gaming; adding texture & painting especially to the base board.

The village features a ruined church & some black houses, a bit of walling and some cheval de frise.

Yes. I'm considering buying their broch. I have no real need for it but who wouldn't want to own a broch?

For a true Hielan welcome! (Although I have to say, definitely NOT my experience of travelling in the Highlands.)

Very nice, Donald.

I bought one
I've crawled all over a real one on Lewis (where Mum's family are from). There's literally no-one or anything to stop you climbing up inside the double walls. It's in the best condition apart from the one in the Shetlands, which I haven't seen.
A very practical building in terms of comfort & defence. I may build a life-sized replica here in order to be able to defend all the toilet-paper rolls I've bought......

Never let your stock drop below 100 per inhabitant or you'll get wuflu.

It's a lovely little village. That thatch should burn nicely.

It’s nice - a real hame from hame but it needs coo-beasties.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.
