Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am almost done with the upgrades! As you can see I got all the ornaments for all the different heights (small tower, high tower and bastion/gate) plus the regular roof tops (3x3" and 5x3") and the 3x3" alternate roof top.
Only part missing is the 5x3" alternate roof top and then to produce all the cut files an...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
this week I have been busy with adding more and more parts to the updates for the DAFB2 set!
I have made both sizes for the roof tops that can go on the towers/bastions and gates. But you can also use them stand alone as a shed or storage building! For my build I am going for the thatched style but all the "usua...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Ladies and gentlemen,
while I am working on the getting the final touches done for the DAFB#2 set I wanted to share with you the first of my pics taken on the 6x4" gaming table.
This size table allowed me to go big with my buildings, setting up a village plus fortifications. With my old LotR minis I decided to have the goblins ...

For August I am giving you simple banner "minis" in two versions. One can be used stand alone and the other can be mounted to walls of any kind. The free version comes with a white and red checker pattern for the cloth part. They will go great with last months palisades or with any settlement/city/fortress that wants to show the inhabitants colo...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It's time to start having some fun! I have completed the bastion module now too, giving me all the modules I wanted for my large fortress layout. So this weekend I setup my huge 6x4" gaming table, slapped on the large battlemat and started to place it all into position.
The fortress walls and the village within ...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been away for most of the week to house and cat sit in beautiful "Mühlviertel" in Upper Austria. I managed to get out every day and discover the countryside there but every evening we had thunderstorms, some leading to floodings in the surrounding areas and one night we even had no power for a couple of hours....

Ladies and Gentlemen,
we are having a fun heatwave here in SchnitzelCountry. The mornings are bearable but trying to get anything done after 3 in the afternoon is a challenge. Only works on the days it cools off. Of course then we get thunderstorms (some regions even get tornados) and hail the size of tennis balls!

Here's a quick look at my prototype for the water well. When researching Viking ones the only thing I could find were old Russian ones. But the Vikings also traveled there so maybe they have been influenced by them :)
I also want to make a classic stone one later. But for now I will continue with this type of architecture. (Next I pl...

To me barrels come right after crates and boxes in terms of what you can never have enough off to spice up your villages and dungeons. They look great and provide great LOS options on your t...

a quick post about the progress of the last days. In a nutshell I am getting very excited abou the new sets :)
