MIDDLE EAST VILLAGE ATTACKED BY CRUSADERS

I got a bit lost and, wandering through my imagination, I started—almost by chance—to create a village in the Middle East during the time of the Crusades. I had already built the walls, the siege towers, and some buildings (in upcoming posts), but I was really missing the part related to the actual village or small town. I will add tents and more later, but for now I’ve made this, which is about 1 square meter in size.

This project is part of the project on the Third Battle of Ramla, but I admit that I was inspired by the Der Alte Fritz Journal website, particularly by the model of the city of Khartoum.
