Time to reveal the work

It is a new French medieval set:

Of course i will fill it with churches, to spite Steph

It will be released sometime after the end of this month. I will probably use the Donjon in size 3

Any ideas for the centerpiece of size 2?

Any ideas for the centerpiece of size 2?

Thank you

Great pics, the last one might be good for the set.

I changed the smallest house a bit, and lowered one of the other ones (i always do that) to make it less prominent behind the main building:

I also plan to make at least two more medieval sets, one for China (which might be difficult) and another asian that i have not yet decided what it will be.

The ancient Japanese set can be used- i think - also as a generic tribal set. So along with two more medieval sets there will be 10 for a medieval scenario of Europe, Africa and Asia

Are there any pics of this from above? It seems to be probably hollow, with the building going around a yard? I cannot be sure though from this pic.

In the middle of this picture is a little archery range. It's perfect for what I'd like to use it as: an ancient radar tower. However, I can't seem to find it anywhere and wondered if you'd uploaded it or planned to?

Just saw that the manoir might already be to modern, it's from the 16th century (not medieval):

Rob, archery range is here: Definitive Resources.

Well i made a castle, but it is not exactly the accurate model of the one found in the inspiration-link. There appear to exist only two variations of a picture for it, and i couldnt tell what was going on in all parts of the chateau.

However i think it doesn't look bad, so the set is probably complete now

Cheers !!

 

[Ares de Borg]

Lovely set! Really good!

 

[Steph]

Yes, this set IS good.

 

[Kyriakos]

Like all of my work which survived

 

[Kyriakos]

Some final changes, i didn't like how the castle looked so i changed its angle.
I think that now it looks more different than the barricade, and actually a lot closer to the original model

If you don't like it you can go stay in the Donjon. I am not making any other changes

 

[Kyriakos]

I am wondering if it is better to have a chinese, and a final asian medieval set, or a chinese and a slavic (but it will not be russian, i abandoned the russian set).

Thoughts?

 

[Kyriakos]

Also, what do you think of this carriage resource?

 

[Vuldacon]

Chinese, and a final Asian medieval set
Carriage looks Fine... It seems rather Thick or Too Well Built perhaps that is the Wheels and Tongue.

 

[Kyriakos]

I changed its angle, and now it looks better i think

If Wyrm gave me a unit (i lost the one he once did) with full animations i might try to turn the carriage into a unit of my own too

Edit: here is an in-game pic:
