With the final day(s) of the Challenge in sight and me still a few points short of my target I am in a painting frenzy, so no time for a long post here on the blog. There are however, two new posts up at the Challenge site.

The End is nigh...

Ascloha revisited...
Hoi,
Well Hugo is settling in fine and since he's rather quick falling asleep in the evening I get a little downtime then. So here's the promised post about the MDF buildings I am currently working on. I basically have two projects: one is a Dark Age project, which will feature in today's post, the other is a Victorian/ Modern Day project.
Since I started doing the Dark Age 28mm project I have been steadily beavering away on some buildings made by Timeline Miniatures. These are very good value for money and sturdy builds at that. At the moment I have 6 buildings from their DA line: 2 Viking houses (one of which you have already seen), 2 Saxon or regular DA houses, a (Saxon) longhouse/ drinking hall and an Anglo-Romanic church/ minster. This will suffice me for some terrain and more specifically the small hamlet of Ascloha, modern day Asselt in the region where I live, where a rather cool Norsemen drama evolved. This will form the basis for my Dux Brit. campaign.
Now for some pictures!
The last finished dwelling:
While the longhouse and Minster are only based and not yet finished I thought I might show you the progress anyway.
The Longhouse:
The Minster:
When these are done I still need to do some scatter terrain to spruce the board up but this will be fine since I already have some Renedra wattle fences and more DA animals lying here.
Next up will be some stuff for the Modern terrain project.
Cheers Sander

Some Dark Ages Scenery
Hoi,
From tomorrow on I will be taking a "Hobby-Leave" for some time. Why is that? Well tomorrow 77 of my graduate pupils will be taking their final test in History and I will have to correct all their work. It will take me quite a while to get finished so that's why I have taken all spare time I had recently to paint some stuff.
On show today are some NPC Dark Ages miniatures.
First up some cattle from the GB farmyard animals set
Next some GB children from their Dark Ages civilians set
To top it off for today is one of the two Norse dwellings I obtained from Timeline Miniatures. I swapped the teddy-bear fur roof for plasticcard shingles and am pretty happy with the result.
The roof is lift-off and there's an elevated sleeping place inside the building, stupidly I forgot to take pictures. Perhaps in a week or two I'll rectify that.
Cheers Sander
