Hello :wave:
I had a sudden urge to get my Seck out, and to create something, so here is my medieval town.
Please excuse the missing walls and battlements :-[ (I ran out) :-[
Also, it may not be entirely historically acurate, but please bear with me :)

That's a great city, Damo, and you provide so much detail that the missing walls are easily imagined. I like the klicky eye level photo angle and the excellent detail such as in the waggoner's workshop, it's just like the workshops you see in old photos of similar workshop in the 1800s.
Great work! :wave:

The church sits on the town square:

I couldn't remember the proper name for the Waggoner, but his place is my favourite (I could age my usual 'special touch') ;) :lol:

Wheelwright is what you're wanting. One of my ancestors on my father's side was a wheelwright in Suffolk.
BTW, is the schoolteacher wearing a knight's helmet? I've heard of tough schools, but that takes the prize! :lol:

A coach house was sort of what I was thinking as well :-\
The teacher is meant to be giving a lesson on knights! :lol:
can you spot the other funny hats around town? ;)

That's awesome, Damo! I love all the details you put in, like the pile of unfinished project in the wagoner"s workshop. I wouldn't have thought of that! And yeah, you can easily imagine the extra walls. Really well done! :)9

Amazing town Damo!!! :wow: :wow: :wow:
It is perfect! :love:
-
That's fantastic!
I wouldn't worry about historical accuracy with it - it's a toy - it is meant to be fun! As long as you have fun with it. That said, I didn't see anything historically unaccurate.
I really need to set up my Steck something like that. My daughters would love it.
-
Great stuff Damo! it really gave me a couple of ideas :-) I couldn't find any more easter eggs, are there more then those "funny hat" ones?

I have 'borrowed' a couple of ideas I have seen from others, and also included some of my own so that hopefully ideas can get round :**:
No more Easter eggs I'm afraid. Just a poor knowledge of the medieval period :lol:

i enjoyed visiting your town, i, too, also enjoyed the klicky-level photos that showed so much detail in the accessories you have arranged. i didn't really notice any missing walls, as i was too busy looking inside all of the rooms.

That's a wonderful town, Damo! :knight: I love all the parts to it and the details. And thanks for explaining that the teacher was teaching a lesson on knights. I thought the pupil was a terror at first! ;)

Beautiful :clap: Wonderful collection. That carpet must be really good to set up on. :thanks:
-
This is beautiful Damo :wave:
I have always loved the Medieval Theme as I played with it when I was a child and should I not be crazy about the Victorian era as a period, I would have definitely gone for the Medieval Theme as I still find that it is one of the most beautiful Theme ever created in a toy range :)
I would say side by side with the Victorian Theme :love:

Of course, I have a soft spot for medieval, but if I weren't I would be into collecting Victorian.....very elegant ;D

Yes, the carpet is really good. It is an ofcut from one of the rooms, but is just a nice colour for a dusty medieval town erm, ground I suppose :)
Of course, I have a soft spot for medieval, but if I weren't I would be into collecting Victorian.....very elegant ;D
Unfortunatley, I have a soft spot for most themes! :-[ ;D

Medieval is not my first favourite theme (modern is first :-[) but I must say, I do love the civilian medieval life, like I have been setting up here :)

Damo, your photos have made my day so much happier! :) I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at your village.
