Birdie's medieval town and castle

[basilsdad]

This is truly a work of love, Birdie!  It is such a detailed layout from the cozy rooms to the gaggle of geese.  Thank you for sharing the many pictures with us.  I will be looking at them over and over again!

I concur, awesome job. I know I am a biased party but still: standing next to the diorama, you can look at it for a loooong time, details will pop up everywhere.
I give it a  with a pinky shake.




But that does not mean I will have any reservations trying to enter your treasury and get me some shiny stuff.

What a great project Birdie.  It looks Amazing!
 I love that turf you have going there, looks really great.  I also really enjoy the cramped nature of that market and all the details going on in town and in the castle.  The tavern is my favorite. 

That reminds me, I owe you a BIG thank you, El Jefe! Your wonderful story The Adventures of Broderick O'Connell
(http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=12980.0) totally inspired me to start a medieval set-up. 

This is truly a work of love, Birdie!

You're absolutely right, I *LOVED* putting it together    It kept me busy for a month.
And I was really happy when I finally got my hands on some of those lovely Middle Age sets from the nineties:
the monk! the hollow tree! the 3666 castle!

Real grass? I wonder if the stuff will hold, as in storage... it does look amazing.

(The ruin is System WHY?)

Fingers crossed that I'll be able to use it for a long time.  It does seem safe to store.

We actually found the ruin (set 4435) in a toy shop in Antwerp that still has plenty of sets from years and years ago.
I don't like the System holes  [], but the front looked too good to pass. It's weird, on the front of the box it looks "bleh", but on the back you can see its true potential:

Thank you so much for letting me do this

Ah, the purple barbarians, where I stopped buying (IDIOT!) - so, it's system X, not WHY, I suppose - I thought it was a more recent thing...

(I did assemble a few purple barbarians on my own  - shame about the flags, shields and that purple fur hat )

Wait, what does WHY stand for? I thought you meant: It's System, why, oh, why?

Yep, that's what it means - those silly clip on buildings - actually, I suppose no system at all - someone called it that (can't remember who), but to me, it stuck.

The diorama looks simply FANTASTIC, Birdie-seems we're fishing in the same mediëval pool, lol!!!

Absolutely amazing!!   Tons of beautiful scenes, and your base and sky work perfectly.  The results are wonderful all together.

That's a wonderful creation, Birdie, and you have also produced some wonderful photographs of it capturing all the bustle and business of a mediaeval town, with good views of it from a klicky's viewpoint and great details.  (The pose of the singing soldier is superb.)

Many thanks for sharing with us.
