Wonderfull table Frank. :-* :-*
The buildings are very good.
I may take some ideas. :)

Many of your buildings are generic enough to use in several historical periods.

Yes Rui - I pride myself on trying to use my terrain and figures for as many games as possible. These buildings will double for Sharp Practice in the Peninsular Wars.

The buildings were clever MDF blanks made by https://www.facebook.com/TheRooknRaven/ who are just about to launch these publicly. They have a series of cutout for different doors and window types that allow you to make an endless array of different building types.

Beautiful stuff to do a table proud!  What thickness of blue foam did you use for the walls?

Amazing looking port.  I have would love to build a table like this but I get too easily distracted by too many new games.
