Excellent work. Magnifique! 

[Malamute]

Very nice indeed

[Hammers]

Indeed, great. Very tidy. What's your technique? Foamboard with paper mache cover?

[Byblos]

Here's a pic.

Nice diorama! To think, Cabral, the silly sod who ‘discovered’ Brazil was lost. I’ve often wondered if my wife isn’t some distant relation via Angola or Benin. She could get lost in a phone booth.

[Askellad]

Marvelous!
Had a similar idea but before with portugueses in Africa

Hi !

For the moment I spent some time on my Sengoku Jidaï project! (I have done a lot of historical research, and I am working on a campaign system) But gradually during the month of September, I will be sharing my time devoted to the hobby between Sengoku Jidaï and the Portuguese in India!

No worries, it's a subject that fascinates me! I will go to the end, but it will take time!

I will also begin to paint some figurines: the decorations I like a lot, but there must also be figurines!

By cons I would still receive my orders Black Tree Design: it's depressing to wait for months!

For the buildings I spotted very beautiful windows crafted at Shifting lands!

thank you for following me in any case, it's nice (really!)

In short, as who would say: to be continued

Looking forward to your progress.You do beautiful work.

Hi all !

The following !

Maybe not very spectacular, but real!

First, I was brought to my attention a brand called "Shifting lands" which produces including MDF windows, and among the proposed models, some particularly interested me because very Eastern / Indian!

So I took my tools, and continued the mosque and the palace of the Adil Shah, adding these beautiful windows!

I took the opportunity to improve the interior, because I think it would be interesting in the future game system to introduce a notion of "role playing" (remember the number of troops will not be huge, especially on the Portuguese side) and "booty", so to offer the possibility to the troops to enter the buildings to make there booty, quantity and quality of the booty will enter the count of the points of victory!

So there is the mosque (with the big prayer room, the vestibule, the medresa ...) and the palace of Adil Shah with the guard room, the harem, the big room with its 2 alcoves .. .

I would realize a simple furniture but I hope that will make good, with benches, utensils, cushions, carpets ...

On the mosque there is still a lot of work: the tower / minaret and the roof, and in the big prayer hall the Minbar and the Mihrab, and the big oil lamps!

For the palace of the Adil shah: the court!

Then it will be plastering, sanding, interior design and painting!

(There is a problem: I am not very good at painting buildings: but I have at least time to take advice and improve myself: it is by forging that you become a blacksmith !!! )

And then: the houses, fortified towers and entrances, the stables, and we will end with the walls that will serve as variables of adjustment in terms of the dimensions of the whole!

And of course, it will not be over yet: a job but on the one hand I take my foot and on the other hand, I hope that the result will be both spectacular and exciting!

In short: to be continued

[Atheling]

My word!!!!! 

These are some of the best builds that I have ever seen!!!! 

Do you have some kind of technical model making qualifications?

[marianas_gamer]

Oh my! That is nice!! So when are you going to do Macau?

Very, very impressive stuff indeed. It seems your building techniques even mirror the construction of the real thing.

Vraiment, je suis bluffé, là...
