Complete Medieval Seigneury – Crupet Project (1:150 Scale Diorama)

This project is a highly detailed 1:150 scale reconstruction of a medieval seigneury inspired by the village of Crupet (Belgium), known for its remarkable fortified keep and rural heritage.

The model represents a complete medieval environment including:

• A fortified keep (donjon) surrounded by water

• A lower courtyard with defensive walls and buildings

• A drawbridge system and secondary bridge

• A watermill powered by the river

• Agricultural areas and enclosed fields

• Various medieval buildings (chapel, forge, stables, barns, guard tower…)

The layout follows the historical logic of medieval settlements: the lord’s residence is built in the valley near water sources, while economic activities such as mills and farms are distributed around it.

Great attention was given to realism and texture:

• Stone walls use a “fuzzy skin” technique to simulate masonry at scale

• Timber-framed buildings reproduce traditional construction methods

• Each door is unique and adapted to its building (chapel, barn, etc.)

• A dedicated stained-glass holder allows custom transparent inserts

The terrain and environment are designed for diorama realism:

• Water made using textured paper and glue layers, painted and varnished

• Rocks sculpted from foam and dry-brushed for natural effect

• Fields made with real materials (coffee grounds, sawdust)

This is not just a model, but a full modular medieval scene suitable for:

• Dioramas

• Wargaming tables

• Display models

🔗 Individual buildings are also available separately as part of the Crupet Project collection.
