a little supply house

Now after all those ships I need to take a small break to made something a bit more stable... its nice to feel the earth beneath your feet after you get off a ship. so I made something that makes you feel even better to be on that land a road side supply house... now you can have some food while you travel at leisure through the lands of Oronegro or elsewhere. Now more can be found out about these places On the Oronegro blog but here I'll just go through and tell you about the model. I must say though that its a bit small to make up for all those ships and I am going to make more, so still no "land ho" for me yet
it may not look like much but if your food ran out the other day this little place might be the nicest thing you see all day

the stone here is woodland scenic's talus, with lots of PVA and then painted to look like a stone path,

the ladder is part of one of the siege ladders in the Zvezda medieval siege engines part2 set

if you could not see in the roof is removable... revealing a cramped but decent interior.

there's cupboards and a table top in one corner and a big crate in the other these contain some of the supplies

a look from the back with the 3 removable chests... the 2 big ones are removable.
it was a small fun build and if you cannot tell the parents are painting which means there is plenty of paint to white-wash the building and a dust-mat to put it on. Anyway school is creeping up fast on me and tomorrow I have a meeting with the other prefects... still got plenty to do but anyway as always, Have a nice day, night or other time depending on where you are in the world!

  3. Nice scratchbuilt building!
    I think it was at the end of the Boar War when the Brits put up small fort "blockhouses" all across the countryside, that could be a good secondary use if there were ever an invasion.
    Nice work again.

    1. thanks Ben and the stockhouse part is very important, also an invasion could be a pirate raid along the coast who know perhaps that an increadibly wealthy man is travelling... they come along thd coast but he see's them and hides in the building and waits for the army or the police to come assist.
