Re-furbished dark age huts

With recently getting into Pillage and spending most of last year with Baron's War I had expanded my collection of dark age / early medieval buildings. To the point some old card and teddy bear fur buildings I made over 20 years ago had become redundant. A shame after all the use they give during games of WAB. I even offered them up to the club members but there were no takers. Now nostalgia kicked in, I didn't want to just throw them away. So 20 minutes later sitting in the garden I gave them a refresh. I had never really been happy with the colour of the thatching, so I gave the roof and wooden parts a quick dry-brush of grey followed by a sand colour, this is the same scheme I use on my newer buildings to help them match in.

Hopefully these will get some use in future games and will save me from buying any more huts.
