    Kurt Johnson got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Medieval Fortified Village by Ekis - 1/87 scratch base kit Aedes Ars   
    Just remember, we’re all supposed to meet at the tavern ( including those rafter hangers ) to celebrate some guy named Ekis and his accomplishments. I hope with all the straw on the floor a fire doesn’t “accidentally” get started. Hopefully no one would be hurt. It could however mean the entire village would have to be rebuilt. 
     
    Look at what happened to Chicago in America. I wonder if they would allow a cow into the celebration, they’re letting rafter hangers and I’ve never heard of cows voluntarily hang from rafters.

    For those unfamiliar with the story in 1871 Chicago had a terrible fire, destroying most of the city, killing thousands, leaving thousands homeless. Legend has it a Mrs O’Leary’s cow kicked over a lantern which began the fire. So maybe there should be security at the door checking for cows.

    Ekis, I would love to see the mill as a larger, maybe 1:50 scale, stand alone model, with all the stops pulled out. Of course with the lord’s permission when he deems the village is completed to his exacting standards. Maybe he has some connections with the current government to find sufficient monies to fund such a project. He could be a powerful patron. It’s your civic duty to the greater glory of France.  I he won’t help, I’ll have a word with them.
     
    Back to reality. Which part gives you more pleasure, the stone work or the carpentry? Or is it just what you happen to be doing at the moment? For me it would be how I would approach the next issue while trying to go to sleep the night before.

    Ekis, I was waiting for this one and it was well worth the wait.
     
    To totally misquote Winston Churchill, this is not the end, It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning. As far as we’re concerned you have a lot more building to do. So you best get busy! You have no one to blame but yourself.  Like in Little Shop of Horrors “ Feed me!” 
    ( I’m not sure at all if that translates transatlantically.) If that made no sense PM me and I’ll try and explain.
     
    At any rate keep up the wonderful work.

    Ekis,  It’s beautiful. How many villagers are required to drag that gigantic coin to all the current work sites? I like the trestle tables, they are very delicate looking.

    Ekis,
     
    Are you building one structure at a time and see where that leads to next.? Or is there a more formalized plan? Or I’m guessing a mixture of both. Have you had any surprises at the direction things have proceeded that you had never envisioned? Too many questions, I’m sure a historical village was haphazard to a point.
    One final question (at the moment) does the lord have to approve building ALL of the structures in the village or just the more substantial ones. Again I’m guessing it depended upon the opportunity of financial gain.
