Medieval Market Stalls

You can´t have a town without businessmen and you can´t have businessmen without a Market and you can´t have a market without market stalls (or is it stands? )
So far I´ve built 3 of the many different designs which seem (after a web search) the most common.
No wonder the woman is angrily waving her fist...there´s no goods to sell or buy!!!!
The three types, made from coffee stirring sticks. The coverings are printed. The market wares are still to come, boxes of fruit etc.
They can also find a use in the Khandibar scenario As my medieval civvies now number more than 100 and there´s many more to come, I´ll need some more stalls and a couple of big tents for a special set of bods that will occupy one of them :-D

  2. Roll up! Roll up! Get your weevil infested fruit 'ere! They look great Paul; I'd say stall although I suppose they could be referred to as 'pitches' perhaps?

    Have a great weekend.

  6. Great scratchbuild, Paul. You've got the stall coverings modeled with the droops and wrinkles in the right places! Very convincing.

  7. Paul these are just great. Do they have any playable function in a war game?

    ..besides being crashed through in a movie car chase.

    1. Thanks.
      They are more or less scenery but like most bits and bobs they could be used as cover/hiding places
      Cheers
      Paul

  13. Paul you have proberly made the most usable bit of scenary ever. I see uses for it from ancient mesapoteimia to the distant future and all time periods in between.
    Great work and I really think that woman needs to calm down. perhaps thats why the gunman went in to calm things down
