Tabletop Scatter part 1

 

 Village scatter terrain Part 1


As I move through my renovation projects I have decided to start adding and renovating my village and town accessories, a majority is HO scale model railway pieces which I find particularly good  for 20mm terrain. 




Every French village and a number of crosses in and around the village, also most main cross-roads have a cross also, many were erected in the 19th century after the revolution, although we have one from the twelfth century only a few hundred meters from us, this piece is for a village square, and I have commenced several others for the countryside cross roads. 


A simple chair beside a lamp, be useful for a bus stop or near a garden

A horse trough, can be used in a yard or in a square, I post from a model railway fence, the trough also, I scratch built the spout from wire and a tip of a coffee stirrer. 

 I have a number of fountains to do, including a sculpted copy of a Marizan fountain from the 17th century which was a set pattern during the revitalization of town water supplies by the Jean Colbert (minister of Housing 1680s).
