Hello

If it doesn't work out and you're not sure of what they looked like you could always try the Mongolian Yurts. Who can tell you you're wrong  :D :D







The small one (last pic) could work with 6mm.

Cheers

Off the top of my head: hasn't woven cloth rather than hides been the fabric of choice in the middle east for a very, very long time?

None! I was well warned and carefully avoided dice of any sort. :)

I did bookmark some beads that might do as amphorae when I get to doing the docks and market place.

Is your 'ebay' to buy list as long as mine?  ;D

Finally finished the first module of a camp for my MAR.TU (Amorite) camp.

Will make a couple more at some point. The canopy at the front will need to be wider on future modules I think, but overall pleased with something made from a 20mm diameter MDF circular base, a resin jewellery bead, some flexible filler, a pair of pins and a sliver of paper :)

The modules shows a 6mm Perfect Six child , assisted by an Onslaught Mercenary Warhound, herding some Perfect Six sheep while being watched by a Baccus Amazon Archer (minus bow). The two jars started life as glow-in-the-dark fishing lures!

Got a chance to see the new Ancients buildings that Leven Miniatures are going to be producing, at "Joy of Six." I'm already planning a substantial expansion of my Sumerian city when those come out!

There were some pics posted on TMP - baker's, minor temple, guard post, house/ shop, workshop. I'm planning on having a donkey cart builder in one of the latter, all being well!

Ooo, now they're nice! I wonder if they'd do ok on a BUA base for 10mm Hittites...

Mick said they were originally done as a commission for a model of Jerusalem but I reckon they'd do for much of the ancient Near East.

The Hittites, like the Sumerians seem to have gone in for houses with few to no external windows, relying instead on a central light well. On the other hand I've just passed Mick some pictures of Sumerian houses in hopes he might make one or two so who knows, proper Hittite housing might be in the offing?
