Saxon Village Houses

With the lead (and plastic) pile temporarily levelled, I have turned to my old fall back - buildings.

This weekend I have finished the last of the Dark Ages buildings, two Saxon dwellings.

The first is a simple A frame structure with a low door and thatched roof.



Second is another thatched building, with a timber and daub base.



Then to put all three Saxon buildings together...


There is still a little work to finish here, such as constructing the animal pens and similar, but I shall use the Renedra plastic fencing for this and they will wait for a while.

Next up, while I wait for the next batch of lead and plastic to arrive, will be a Russian village in winter that I shall document in due course.
