Batches 5-7 This is it!

Hi Folks

This is the last of the buildings I'm posting. The Motte and Bailey will require a better lighting setup and I will be putting that one up on the website a little later on!

23. A layered thatch roof dwelling suitable for the Empire or Western Europe. Chris the model maker.

24. A simple thatch dwelling, unusual for Chris in that the door does not open but of course the roof still comes off.

25. Another thatch roofed dwelling from the villiage I collected over the years. Chris made this one.

26. A second woodcutters abode also usable for the east, lovely detail on the roof with wooden cross pieces. Chris original.

27. A solid planked structure, perhaps a well off smith lives here or a guard house. By Chris the model maker.

28. This is another part of the Empire village as with all of Chris' pieces the roofs come off, and the doors are hinged.

29. A large swamp/marsh with lovely details. Sunken logs and tufts of grasses. Chris used plastic water in progressively cloudy layers to create one of my favourite pieces.

30. A finely detailed smithy with tons of interior details, including a forge and charcoal pit. Chris made this.

31. An Ostlers horse pen with grounds and fence. A great and unique piece for discerning collectors. Chris the model maker original.

32. An olive grove with surrounding walls and olive press shed attached. Usefull for any region where olives grow. Chris the model maker.

33. A farmstead with two buildings and grounds with surrounding fencing, a part of the villiage on the ouskirts or perhaps an outlying holding. Chris original.

34. A large enclosed farmers field with stone walls and hedge. A truly usefull piece by Chris.

35. The second of the large barns. This piece is impressive with opening gates and doors on hinges and a roof that lifts off revealing a second floor. Chris the model maker.

36. A solid resin piece painted by myself and used in many an American Civil War game.

Batch 3 & 4 and part of 5

Hi Folks

A much larger posting today and I wanted to get over the half way mark of what I will be parting with.

11. Here we have a fantastic border tower, applications for historical use as well as fantasy.  GW's the border princes comes to mind as well as LOTR or anywhere in medieval Europe where the frontier was defended. A Chris original!

12. A viking "A" frame.  Usable in northern Europe and England and Ireland when the blonde lads were running amok and settling in. Chris made this one.

13.  A larger thatch roofed home for the wealthy peasent or perhaps villiage elders.  Again suitable for many periods in Western Europe. Chris the model maker.

14. Thatched roofed woodcutter home or something similar.  Suitable for many periods in Europe.  Made by Chris the model maker.

15.  A well painted light weight piece used in the English Civil War as a Scots tavern.  Made from foamcore in the GW style.  The roof comes off.  Created by me. :)

16. A solid resin house, a very thick piece, nicely painted by yours truly.  Has been used to fill in a small villiage on one of my ACW games.  This is a mass produced item not sure of the manufacturer.

17. A very nice piece bought awhile back, this particular piece was used as a defence line by Union troops at Antietam, but can also be used for the French and Indian War as well as The American War of Independence.

18. Ten large trees total.  The trees themselves are done by a friend many years ago, the trunks and bases were done by Chris the model maker.  The shape of the base allows for a lot of uses on the game table.

19. A farmers field with waddle fencing.  Used in ECW/TYW and suitable for dark ages until the wars of Marlborough.  Another Chris original.

20. A second empire/tudor piece by Chris. One of his earliest.

21. Another barn similar to the slate roofed barn but with thatch.  Nice piece by Chris

22. Here we have a magnificent barn, this is one of my most cherished pieces.  Suitable for Eastern or Western Europe. Double gate to the front, doors on the sides and a second story.  Go to http://www.grandmanner.co.uk/shop/Default.asp?cookiecheck=yes& and have a look at what very well painted pieces go for, and they are mass produced! Created by Maestro Crhis.

More Buildings! Batch Deaux!

Here is the slightly delayed second batch, god this is hard to do it's like kicking out a basket of puppies. I actually feel guilt in letting them go. Isn't miniature gaming odd in so many ways?

6. A world war 2 ruin, a really nice piece with multiple levels of shading not fully realized in the photo. Chris the model maker did this one.

7. A fantastic Hillock, many large trees which helps form the border of this piece. It is a large piece and has a hill that rises toward the middle on one side, used as an artillery postion and ambush site many times. Chris the model maker made this one as well.

8. A really interesting piece, usefull for the eastern front, fantasy or many other European periods. The interior details are quite nice and the door opens. It has been used as a Partizan hideout in Russia, a stopover for a party on the way to their doom, and as a farmstead in colonial America waiting for the Hurons to attack. Unknown who made this piece.

9. Tudor/Empire style 2 story building. The roof comes off and the floors seperate, also the door opens on a hinge. This is usable for any Western European town from the middle ages on. One of Chris the model makers earliest pieces.

10. A barn with slate roof which comes off. A really nice piece with deep greys in multi-layers.

Chris the model maker made this one as well.
