I have had piles of the old Wargames Factory stuff laying around for years, recently I have gotten myself in gear and started painting them. Nine Battalions of Foot and two of Horse plus some guns have been completed.

I have also started a 1/48th scale model of the Castillo de San Marcos in Florida

Very impressive work. I've bookmarked your blog, to thoroughly pore through it later. That Castillo is going to be a monster. I have a printed paper model of that fort (unbuilt) in about 15mm scale that is far too big for my table. You *must* be reducing the size of the original a bit for playability's sake, hainna?

No, the model is true 1/48th scale, I have a friend that happens to have a ballroom in his house. A proper arrangement of tables will allow the besieged player to stand inside the Castillo while the others are ranged around the outer perimeter. It will also be very impressive at conventions. It helps that the Castillo de San Marcos was one of the smallest of Spain's New World forts.

Some say that I am quite mad, I am in no position to argue.......but I'm having fun!

Please let me know when you take your Castillo to a convention. I may have to make a road trip to see it live.

I got some work work done on the Castillo project, this is turning out to be a LOT more work than I first thought.

The Vauban fort structure looks superb. Can't wait to see more. Do please post more pictures of your project here (sorry, don't have time t go chasing off after thousands of individual blogs, good as they may be
