Table and benches upgrade to kick off, medieval castle inspired:
This foamboard and oak veneer-made set is from my castle project a few months ago. I was not quite satisfied with the bench shape or finish, so added struts etc to the base and a stretcher bar to look more similar to the table finish. It’s now much more stable for seating figures too.
Then leather strips glued on the table and topping the benches, which better hides the gaps on the veneer edges. The ‘nails’ are tiny rivets which were glued into holes made with an awl. Finished off with little leather ‘shields’, and a tiny metal animal head. Much happier with it now , and here it is getting a road test:
And some making-of/different angles pictures:
