Kurt Johnson got a reaction from Keith Black in Medieval Fortified Village by Ekis - 1/87 scratch base kit Aedes Ars
Ekis,
Take your time, it’s worth the wait on our part. The well, trough is a nice combination. I like that everything isn’t perpendicular. Much more natural looking. Any other specialty buildings that will be needed. Blacksmith’s maybe. Tavern?

Ekis,
The village is coming along very nicely. What is the purpose of the holes in the side walls?

Egilman,
I was just asking Ekis if he personally had. I have myself in the past. I personally like the two part epoxy putties. They can get expensive if that’s all you are using though. The reason I had asked is I was considering trying a to build a tower or keep and was trying to figure if there was enough in the kit to get by with. I didn’t ask my question correctly in retrospect.

Ekis, The oven takes the prize so far for the most interesting building. The street level views really look great. So what is next to do? Are you bouncing around to different parts of the village to keep things “fresh”, or do you have a planned sequence? Have you surprised yourself yet by going in a completely different way than you had envisioned things? It sure looks like fun.

Ekis, I know you modify the size and I am assuming the shape of the kits building stones supplied? Have you ever found the need to make unique stone shapes from Sculpy, clay or epoxy putty to satisfy a special situation? I would think sometimes that could be easier than grinding or cutting a shape. I guess it might not be desirable though, since the real stones wouldn’t have been constructed that way.

Ekis, This is a very interesting building. I have a question for you, if I may. You discuss the “removal” of the oven In the beginning of your post today. I don’t understand what you are referring to. Is it currently obstructing the building of the structure? Does it currently not appear as you had envisioned it should? It appears the same.
I look forward to all your updates.
