Oh, sweet mother of the waters, that looks great Michael! Love the way it all fits together to tell a complete story. Can't wait to see it all in a battle report!

Thanks dude.

Working on the bridge which is almost done and also on the cottage/turnpike etc.
But then my replacement Stuff Of Legends book arrived (the first was a bit bashed) and now I am distracted and feel a million small projects coming on...

♥️ Mine came a day later than notified, but that's the 'all new' (ie consistantly failing) Royal Mail for you. I can say that as an ex-postie, retired.
I can only imagine they had absently chucked your packet into a York with stuff on top or newbie tried to shove it a postbox too small. Some at the sorting offices dont give a shite, unfortunately, the state of stuff that came thro' to us to deliver 
Mine had a free Napoleonics sprue in it,which in first instance thinking how to kit bash it/them
Anyhow it's sparked memories of minis I used to have as a teen (& some I had long forgotten about!). So that in itself makes it an invaluable and to be a cherished book to me. RIP & thank you Richard 'Orclord' Hale for those memories x

Yeah someone else said they got a freebie.
I got a bashed up corner with mine.
The replacement had no freebie either, BUT, they did not ask for the damaged one back and when questioned, said I could keep it, so I have a mint copy and a reading copy.

Nice gesture, shame not everyone got one. This is the sprue I got. If I had a spare book I would be scribbling (record) notes on the minis I used to have either next to the photos or margins! Am tempted to pencil in anyway & as an aide memoir!

I'm glad not to have yet another useless lump of plastic kicking around.

The cottage is almost done, I need to make a nicer bit of road, but I have converted my toll keeper.
I figured he did not need a knife and a club, what he needs (as do I) is a big leg of meat to carry around.
Oh and whilst researching toll booths:
Did medieval folk really pay tolls with fried eggs?
The image looks altered, but it still amused me, especially if a genuine mad medieval illustration.

The Bridge Cottage is done.
Once I have painted the keeper I will take a shot of the whole set up, river and bridge etc.
The toll keeper has his cottage, but he also has the toll booth he sits in, with it being a workmans hut and with oldhammer being sort of early 80's I figured that such a hut would likely have some 'mens touches', so I put in a page 3 pin up as would be suitable for such a thing.
I decided that with the news of Richard Hale passing away this month, the pin up poster should be an image of his own page 3 pin up oldhammer model, Samantha Phox.
All Hale Phox.

Amazing! LOVE the posters - I wanna read 'em

They are mostly illegible due to the reduction of the image when printed.
But this one in the back of the hut should be recognisable, and it is on many of my builds:
And this one is less about the 'reading' anyway:

This is the sheet I use most of the time when adding posters:
It is not meant for distribution which is why it is crap, but feel free to use it, they are pretty much just a few images collected from online that I keep on a file for printing.
Many are the same poster in different sizes, makes it easier and helps with placement etc.
