After I had finished the church (see http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,9719.0.html for more details), I decided that I didn't like the base it was on so I changed it to a 120mm x 80mm -which is still in keeping with my 60 x 40 base multiplier. I have also made others to go with it, so now I have a little village for Eastern Europe which will fit from Medieval to Modern.
Everything is made from paper, card, toothpicks, balsa and coffee stirrers.

As usual, there are a lot more pictures and information on the blog.
Very nice old chap.
Lovely stuff! I do like that wall paper for the walls...
Great looking buildings, Subedai. 8)
Very nice village, lots of options for the layout as well :)
They look great! Very nicely done.
Very effective indeed 8).
Those are terrific !

You are good with your hands, as the actress said to the bishop.
Thanks for the comments fella's.
@ paulr: Admittedly that was not my original intention when I made the church but the idea grew on me.
I like them a lot

[just seen this topic after you linked to it from another thread :) ]
Great looking terrain. Would like to see it stubbornly defended by Austrians against the rampaging Prussian hordes.
Thanks again to the Johnny-come-lately's. ;) ;) :) :)

That's the real beauty of them. Generically, that style of building is good for any place and any when in Europe up until the advent of brick as the major building resource.
Oh? I must get some for my ancient Gauls, then.

I was hoping you wouldn't notice, but there again, you always get one who loves pointing out the glaring error in a post. ;)
I meant to say from medieval onwards but my finger got to the Post button before my brain had a chance to stop it.
A sort of Zen posting reflex. :)
Just discovered the thread on its resurrection. I very much like your buildings and bases Subedai (and your blog also for that matter).
Causing me to rethink my basing.
Coffee stirrers....... mmmmmm

Never ceases to amaze when I go to wargames shows that have a cafeteria that uses them and the containers are always full to the gunwales. Either people -and by people I mean wargamers- who either haven't discovered the multiple uses for these items or that I am the only one who has discovered the multiple uses for these items...pauses while readers think WTF is he on about...or that no one else makes their own buildings anymore bar me.
Now even I'm totally confused.
Dried Frog Pill over here please!
TBH I've never made my own buildings, except from a kit. Either you've got it or you haven't and I haven't. And anyway I drink sugarless black coffee.

I'm a tea-aholic myself and only drink percolated coffee -about once a month if it's a good year - but why should that be a collecting problem?

Have you tried therapy for your problem?

No, it's okay, I use about three or four at a time to stir someone else's tea. I liken it to the Japanese usage of a brush to stir their tea. :)
