Bronze Age buildings

It has been a long December, but over the weekend I managed to finish off the first batch of scenery for Bronze Age skirmishing. Of course, it's pretty universal stuff, but the driving ambition if to pull together material suitable for the Aegean periphery c.1,250 BC.

All the terrain pieces shown here are 3D printed models created by Deweycat and purchased from a printer/seller on Etsy. 

I expect that this would be spectacular printed in resin. The set I bought has been printed in FDM and if you look at any of it in detail you can clearly see the horizons between layers. That said, all together it cost me £10 plus postage and painted by much nicer than I expected, so I certainly think it was a good buy. 

I particularly liked the very traditional well, although the proportions of the lever are a bit off and only work with the uprights at an angle. Still it gives it an aged, well-used feel!

In the new year I'll look to add some trees - olives if I can find decent ones, cypresses if not - and some rocky outcrops. Who knows, maybe another couple of houses and a two-foot length of city wall...?
