Early May Preview (All WIP)

More Trip Hammer Mechanisms

I have a laundry list of heavy mining and construction equipment. Not sure what will make it in this month and what gets pushed into the next month. I'm all over the place with assets for next month, I'll have another preview of all different stuff next week!. Hopefully I can get it down to 6 or 7 themes.  I found a good video of the trip hammer if you are interested. I'm guessing "a bad day at work" was a grim affair back then. 

Up in the images we have a style of blacksmith trip hammer(this is how they made sheet metal), trip hammer stamper for busting up mining ore, and a converted stamper for giant bellows operation on a giant blast furnace.  All this stuff has at least 1 foot in actual medieval or earlier history.  We also have a larger style of watermill up there. I will dig into a little aqueduct  system and probably design one more fantasy gravity feed water system for folk that don't want aqueducts running everywhere. The 10+ inch tall blast furnace is designed to line up with our scaffolding set released in Feb/Mar .

Grain stuff and random

I've started getting into a notice board and some vellum  to round out the paper mill stuff. More on that next preview. I have a bunch of grain grinding stones and an iron age granary in the works. Probably go thatch roof on all this to give it a little space from all the other works out there. I have a draft horse I've been poking at, will probably make a go of getting that out this month. It is was generally based on the Brabant before I got into stylizing. 

Some Plateaus 

I'm going to put out some hills and plateaus, at least one 4 inch tall one with caves and 2 that houses can go on. I've been working a bit on the above ground side of my Frostgrave board and decided that movable styrofoam hills suck. I've always been happy with it but realized I have also always had it fully integrated. I'll put these out as one parts but also cut 2 or 3 times for 8 inch FDM plates.
