Robin Hood Project: Town Market

I wanted to be able to set up a medieval town market for my Robin Hood project.  Fortunately enough, Victrix has a Market Stall set.  I purchased one directly from Victrix.  There are 2 market stalls, tables, and a lot of small items in the set. Everything assembled and painted up quickly.  I glued the foods and dishes to the included tables so they wouldn't get lost.  It also made the painting easier..  For some of the more fragile items such as the stools and smallest table, I glued them onto a 25mm round base.

There are a variety of foods, perfect for a market.  Also some beehives (back right) and my favorite part, two chickens in wicker baskets.

More food and some pottery.

Two clay ovens and two cooking fires on 25mm round bases.

The set also comes with a lot of sacks and barrels. Most of them come in two halves, but they fit together well with no gaps.

  4. Thanks. The trickiest part was painting the loose baskets, sacks, etc while holding them. I was able to hold on to one small corner and paint the majority, then go back and touch up taht spot later. For the chickens, you have to paint the two halves of the basket and the chicken first, then glue the basket together with the chicken inside.
