Well, I've been away from TTLG for a bit now (not that I was here all too often before... *ahem*) and I thought "Boy, why not come back with my new structure?"
So now we have the PHH! The first in this was the Portable Pagan Hunting Hut (see the Thief inspiration? Yeah, that's why I built this thing DX) While it would've been lovely if it were finished, it wasn't, and it was rather flimsy...
Here are the old pics:

In the end, the whole thing collapsed and was not to be revived. Instead, I decided to make the Pagan Hunting Hut Mark II. It's not so portable anymore, but it is much sturdier...
Here you are:

The walls were, at one time, demolished due to weather and my dogs. However, wishing to make this a triumphant return, I repaired it (shoddily) and took a few pictures.
Kind of overgrown inside...
Also, to complete theset, I made a few extra things:

The first two are bows, one with a string and one without. The third is just a stick, but it looked useful so, ya know...
I also made I think... maybe 12 arrows, but I managed to lose all of them. Ah well, I am now off to make some more.
EDIT: The pictures are a tad bit bigger than I thought they would be... I'll have to fix that...

If you're really interested in making Pagan like tools and so on, might I recommend taking some primitive skills classes? I could show you how to make a real hut that's probably easier to make and sturdier by far, plus water proof enough to withstand storms and warm enough to keep you alive during the winter.
Then you could get into bow-making, arrow-making, trap-making, flint-knapping...
The list goes on. It'll take a little more work and time, but I think you'll get a whole lot more out of it than a few pictures. There are schools everywhere.

It's an interesting idea. I fear, however, I am a tad... no, very much too lazy to attempt it.
The PHH is really only meant for looking at and maybe reading in from time to time. It was really born of my love for Thief games, and, while it may seem random, really was made with that in mind.
The bows and arrows were made in the same light, just another obsession that I come back to now and then.
These classes, though, I would maybe like to attend a few summers from now, when band isn't eating my life... and maybe when I learn to step away from the computer DX

Well I know a thing or two about this stuff. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. There's a picture of me with one of those huts I mentioned floating around in the world somewhere, but I don't know where anymore.
Anyway, I certainly appreciate the attempt and fascination. Thanks for sharing.
