NAPOLEONIC VILLAGE

I AM MAKING A NAPOLEONIC VILLAGE ON THE CHEAP WITH BITS OF OLD WOOD,CARDBOARD,POLYSTYRENE BITS.I AM GOING TO CREATE SCENES TO MAKE PICTURE STORIES OF MY OWN CHARACTERS,REAL LIFE PERSONALTIES OF THE PERIOD AND CHARACTERS FROM THE SHARPE BOOKS AND FILMS.

FIRST UP IS ROSE'S HALL NAMED AFTER THE PAINTING HUNG UP ON THE WALL THIS IS WHERE THE VILLAGERS HAVE MEETINGS BASICALLY THE VILLAGE HALL.

 CUT SOME WALLS FROM POLYSTYRENE PACKAGING FROM MY NEW OVEN ADDED DOORS AND WINDOWS CUT FROM FIGURE SPRUES

 MADE PART OF THE ROOFING WITH POLYSTYRENE AND CARDBOARD

 PAINTED THE FLOOR ON THE POLYSTYRENE BASE

 FIRST COAT OF PAINT ON THE WALLS

 PAINTED THE ROOFING MADE A SHELTER FOR HORSES OR WAGONS

 PAINTED THE WINDOW FRAME AND MADE SOME SHUTTERS FROM FIGURE BASES

 BASIC LOOK OF THE HALL BEFORE THE PAINT

 PAINTED THE POLYSTYRENE TO LOOK LIKE STONE BORDER WALLS

 MADE SOME GATES FROM CARDBOARD THEY DO OPEN AND CLOSE

 FOUND A SPANISH PAINTING ON LINE SHRUNK IT AND MOUNTED IT ON A PLASTIC BASE TO GIVE IT THE LOOK OF BEING IN A FRAME

 DID A WATERY BROWN COAT ON THE WALLS TO TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE WEATHERING

 STARTING TO COVER THE BASE WITH SAND SAWDUST AND SOIL COLOURED FLOCK
