A new fountain for the palace gardens ...

 While tidying up, I found a fountain I'd painted some time ago; I thought it would be best to put it on the palace shelf diorama to replace the old one.

Walled Farm Set ...(few changes made..)

 Made some minor changes to the set as it came ...  

changed double door on the stable block to be single door plus window

filled in the holes in the roof..
'skinned' the wall sections with thin card to match them up with some others wall sections I have

a chimney for the farmhouse ...

Changes made have been painted up...

Walled Farm Set ...

A Walled Farm Set from EM4 Miniatures arrived today; unpacked and had an initial look and quick setup using a couple of 40mm figures.. large barn at the back with other buildings with the walls/gatehouse.

Stables block, but could be a couple of house...
Farmhouse and part of back of barn...

(Jim Purky has some super pictures of the same set with 28mm figures on his Alte Fritz blog... http://altefritz.blogspot.com/2023/02/new-terrain-goodies-and-all-that.html. )

Overall a lovely buildings set, a good size; they will be good on their own and give me more options for a town setup. All roofs lift off and the doors open/close. A couple of minor things that aren't to my liking: holes in some of the roofs, no chimney on the farmhouse, a bit too much brick showing. All things I can improve.
