So here is my attempt at a fishing village. This is going to be for my Test of Honour gaming table. I still need to make accessories for example. Fishing nets hanging to be dried, fish hanging to be dried, and other accessories that one would find in a small village. I tried to give these wooden structures an old oxidized wood look. I might have overdone it. I will admit I am known to be overhanded when weathering.

They look excellent . I would have commented about them since I watch the Facebook group, but I don’t actually do anything on facebook . It’s just a great resource for me to draw inspiration from. Will you do a little boat or docks too?

Boats yes, I will be making some boats but not for a while I still need to get some more supplies first.
Docks no, not for the fishing village.
I still need to make accessories for the village first.

Those buildings are nifty. Are they balsa/craft sticks over foamcore, or something else?

I like them! i don't really think the weathering is overdone, i've seen old wooden and clapboard buildings that look a lot like that.

That's a great idea! They look fantastic! How did you finish them? Do you like test of Honor better than the osprey game? (Forgot the name...
