Peninsular war project church,shrine and fountain finished
« on: August 05, 2017, 11:59:44 AM »
Start of my peninsular war project, will be at skirmish level, I've got front rank figures which I love, and a few others from foundry etc, I've started on terrain first as some of it will be used for my old west Mexican project.

First up some nice items from grand manner, lovely resin bits, again will be used for Spain and Mexico

Mdf church, not a bad kit but I've added a lot to it to make it look less like mdf, but as a basic frame it's pretty good, the kits from Charlie Foxtrot, still very much work in progress, needs a base and I might add a tower later, needs a rope for the bell, it's very similar to the church in sharpes rifles.

Looks great so far. One comment - your church looks super but possibly more suited to the South of Spain than the more Northern areas where the British mostly fought. The architecture varies quite a bit in the Northern areas but tends to Romanesque churches.

Great stuff, I dived in recently with Front Rank figures and Grand Manner stuff for a Peninsular project. Looking forward to seeing how yours develops. :)

Grand Manner stuff? Oh, I didn't know that. You really have invested in this haven't you?!

Majorsmith, the shrine is great. Lovely scenic bits and pieces  8)

Great set of buildings, I think the TFL crew might have used something similar for their board   8) :-*

I like the shrine and the church very much
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.
