Empress Spanish Church

[Phil Robinson]

Picked this up at Salute, such a fine building deserved my immediate attention on the painting bench, all the constituant parts went together like a dream, well done to the designer and caster. I pinned the cross for added strength with it being in an exposed position.

Nice job on the brush work! I'm not convinced I could get away with using it for 1797 Italy, but I am sorely tempted.

Lovely paint on a lovely building. Pretty quick too

[Plynkes]

You've done a bang-up job there on that fellow. You didn't muck around any either, did you? When was Salute, last Saturday?

Why does it have a campanile and a bell on top of the main church building? Is that right? (Never been to Spain, see.)

Yup, I sold off some of my lead mountain to finance it and I didn't want to start a resin mountain

Why does it have a campanile and a bell on top of the main church building? Is that right? (Never been to Spain, see.)

I have no idea either, perhaps the little bell is for less important occaisions, or when I don't put the campanile on the table

Thanks for the comments guys.

Was that in case I knocked it off in a game?

Good work, as it was n't any where near finished last night when I saw it during a lull in our game.

Beautifully painted Phil. A very nice piece.

[Arlequín]

Excellent job there Phil!

As far as the Campanile goes, it could be a later improvement added to the basic church as it was built. You'd expect the small bell to be removed in that situation though as it would be redundant. Alternatively the bells might never have been brought for the Campanile as the money ran out (like Malaga's cathedral being a tower short). A number of possibilities could explain it.

Nice work.

What's with this buying on Saturday and finished by Thursday.  You two are setting wargamers bad examples........... 

[Calimero]
