Kurt Johnson got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Medieval Fortified Village by Ekis - 1/87 scratch base kit Aedes Ars
Ekis,
Very nice. Things keep getting better and better. They were great to start with, too. It’s so easy to forget the size of everything. Just amazing.

Kurt Johnson got a reaction from John Ruy in Charles W. Morgan by John Ruy - FINISHED - Marine Model Company - 5/32”=1’ (1/76 scale) - Vintage Solid Hull Kit
Hi John,
Really nice work. It’s wonderful to see what quality a model can be made with the older less sophisticated kits. Photoetch and laser cut are nice, but a little time and craftsmenship can produce equally and often better results. I think the the satisfaction would be much greater in the building. She’s gonna be a beaut!
My daughter and her family until recently lived in your neck of the woods. They were in Cumberland, Me. Until her husband had to relocate for his job. Nice country and great people up there.

Ekis, Now that is cool! I like the winch and counterweight set up. I think the picture just before the last one should have a group of tourists ( probably some “beefeaters” ) having a group photo being taken in front of it. It looks remarkably real. Excuse me, could you please direct me to the ( as he glances at his translations booklet) Vespasienne ?
It’s coming along nicely.

Ekis,
That is a handsome structure. It looks like it will blend in with the the rest of the village perfectly. Each structure gets better than the last, but I guess it should.
In the evolution of a village like yours, would the entire perimeter wall be built simultaneously, or in sections tower, gate, etc? And do you think the church building would have been the first thing constructed and the rest followed? Actually I guess what I’m really asking was a fortified village built with that purpose in mind in planned steps from the onset, or just sort of just developed over time? My guess would be both.

Kurt Johnson got a reaction from mtaylor in OLD TRAMP STEAMER REFURB
Hi, Welcome to MSW. I love tramp steamers. The model looks like it was very well built originally and seems to be still in relatively good shape from the pictures. You should really have an enjoyable journey bringing it back to its glory days. I know I would. Do you plan to try and keep her with vintage electronics or up to date equipment?
Have you tried any of the reverse image search’s that can be done with your computer? It may just bring you closer to what you’re trying to find out.
Regardless, you’ll enjoy your time here. I does get addictive though. I hope there’s no cure.

Ekis,
That is a handsome structure. It looks like it will blend in with the the rest of the village perfectly. Each structure gets better than the last, but I guess it should.
In the evolution of a village like yours, would the entire perimeter wall be built simultaneously, or in sections tower, gate, etc? And do you think the church building would have been the first thing constructed and the rest followed? Actually I guess what I’m really asking was a fortified village built with that purpose in mind in planned steps from the onset, or just sort of just developed over time? My guess would be both.

It’s really village idiot here too. I just didn’t know how that would translate. Does that mean I qualify?

They’ll be a town fool won’t there? What self respecting village would be without one. I have some spare time if need be. . .
I meant to help locate one.

Ekis,
I really like the way your design for the door is progressing! It might just be my favorite part of the village.
