New 25mm Village.

Firstly,the "understatement" of the year-for the past two weeks I have not been well!!
Now on with the blog............................................

I received my quarterly(?) copy of this fantastic publication last week(I don't know which day because I have not been well!) and looking inside spotted this............................

Now,I wasn't interested in making paper soldiers(way too fiddly for my sausage fingers!) but a new set of rules(fast play as well!!) got my attention-the book is "lavish" and the figures are great/genius,but at the back are these fabulous buildings to make up using photo-copy card(a bit like photo-copy paper but thicker!) which I just happened to have.....................

Card and buildings sheet,which you can photo-copy as many times as you like-the instructions were "sketchy" but common sense and glue and craft knife and scissors,produced these in just a morning's work............................

Separate doors,windows,chimneys(which I didn't use!) are provided,so you can put them where you like.One and two storey buildings can be made,I even "customised" a building-clever boy!!

Details of the windows available-fantastic!-this is the gable end of the church,complete with "sticky-out" bit on the side!-Thatch and tiled roofs are available too,and all for £4.99p!!

Laid out on my "village/town board to see the effect it could have,but needs some 25mm figures to give the scale.....................

I am pleased,and my next "project" will be to make a Castle,using the towers and wall sections,which could stretch the width or the length of our 10 foot by 6 foot table-not bad!!
The fast play rules-well,compared with our house rules,aren't, and way too complicated for my brain(well I haven't been well you see!!)
