Another bank holiday over and a whole days painting.....
2 Weeks before OML3 and time to finish up a couple of extra pieces for the all dayer.
What every village needs - a few locals milling about these are from Black Hat Miniatures and will be perfect for both the RJW and the Sung Dynasty Projects.
I had some spare walling left over from John Jenkins and 4 Ground just enough to create a further compound for the day.
I added in several squares of door matting to give the impression of crops, with spacing through the centre and outskirts of the field to allow troops to line the fence.
I picked a couple of aquarium items up from the pet shop several years ago for the Boxer Rebellion Project, slightly to large for the 15mm collection, with a little bit of spucing up they will be perfect for OML3 and complete the look for the village.

With the combination of walling and fencing it allows me to mix up the terrain to extend the current compound or create narrow walk ways between the buildings, I am really happy with how these have turned out and now itching to get these on the table.

Just need to work through the scenario now.......
Terrific stuff, the walled compound and the villagers are first rate. I especially like the lions. Curiously, I was looking at a stone carving of a lion in that same style and pose outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto yesterday.
