This was actually the first building I put together, but one of the last to get painted – go figure. It is a large model with interior courtyard surrounded by various farm buildings.
For this building I wanted it to be a bit more versatile and so replaced the cardboard tile roofing with “teddy bear fur” thatching.
This will not only make it useful for the Roman Empire but also for Dark Age Roman Britain and even for Napoleonic games in Spain and Portugal.

I am quite pleased with how this building has turned out, and especially its versatility.

Great building Dave, and good use of the teddy bear fur, making the piece more versatile
Thanks Dave. Always have a box of various coloured Teddy Bear fur as it is so versatile. Makes good crops as well.
Very nice, Dave! 🙂 Definitely a good multi-period building to have I think!
A good centre piece for skirmish games. A bit large for a more conventional one.
If its a large model it is always painted last in my neck of the woods!!Probably being daunted of how to approach it or maybe a bit of laziness! Thanks for the Teddy bear fur trick , I have gone through Spotlight and tried many of there fabrics so I will definitely try the fur.
I have used the fur in a lot of projects:

Hope this helps.
Very nice- as you say it should be useful for more than one period which is always abonus for a big bit of terrain.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete. I think it is more likely to be used for Sharpe Practice than Gangs of Rome.
