Somewhere in Spain

Over the past few weeks my main modelling efforts have been put into making a couple more Spanish type buildings.  These, along with the other town sectors made a few years ago, will be used in the Southern Strategists demo game next weekend at Conquest.

 One of the new buildings is on a plot of land with a small barn.
New buildings in the foreground and the older town sectors in the background.
 The other is a two storied building. Both have walled yards with a gate.


 I have a bad habit of making things up as I go along.  There were no plans as such for these.
As a result I noticed several "stuff ups" after I had finished the painting. The first, and most obvious now, is the pitch of the roof. Should be much shallower than what these are. Didn't seem that bad while I was making them.

 Anyway with a trial run on Wednesday night and then the real game next weekend it is too late for any changes.

  4. They look great. Regarding the pitch, it's always good to have some variance. They don't look out of place to me.

  11. Fine buildings, Rodger. Not to worry about the pitch - there would have been a certain amount of variation I daresay. At that those particulat buildings would not look out of place in other places: France and italy, say. No harm in a bit of flexibility!

  20. Superb looking terrain and single-based figures. Reminds me of why I started 28mm Napoleonics - for Sharp Practice.
