From Historic England’s (extensive) listing description: “EXTERIOR: the three-stage west tower has diagonal buttresses with offsets and a crenellated parapet with slender, crocketed pinnacles to the corners. To the base of the tower is a moulded off-set plinth, with a string course to the top of each stage. The north side of the tower has two memorial tablets to the first stage and a stair turret to the first and second stages. To the west side of the tower is a central, four-centred arched doorway beneath a rectangular hoodmould with label stops. The spandrels of the doorway carry Abbot Parker’s coat of arms. The doorway was restored and re-carved in c1993. There is a three-light tracery window above. To the second stage is a small, single-light round-headed window, while each side of the third stage has a two-light belfry window.”

It’s part of the Elf Light Infantry sprue 👍

I painted these earlier on in the year for #RoSD #RangersOfShadowDeep using dark greys and russet brown.

I also used some of the #Oathmark Human light infantry bodies to provide some variety.

Thank you 👍

You can, and I’ll give it a go 👍

It is … and I have a few more to make 😅

28mm plastic, multi-part Oathmark light infantry elf in contrasting light and dark blue and grey clothing.

Test model for some #Oathmark Elves. I wanted to break away from the usual greens, so came up with this contrast scheme of light and dark greys and blues.

I just need to sort out the base.
