San Antonio De Bejar 1836 - The town so far

[Phil Robinson]

Agree with all of the above.  Stunning!   

One question though - do you leave on permanent display or do you have to store away?  Just wondering as I hate building stuff then having to put it in the cupboard.

Stored away in boxes in the loft...
Mrs Malamute does  not like things on display

Know what you mean, I am even relegated to under the stairs to paint

Great terrain there, look forward to seeing it with your figure range in situ.

Amazing! Simply amazing!

I had wondered, when I first saw the pictures, if the church was perhaps a resin building, from Hovels, or such, but then I read that you had built it as well! Superb! The whole town oozes character, and the whole set-up looks very playable - lots of rooftop shenanigans, as well as hiding out in courtyards if the need arises.

Brilliant!

It is the kind(genre) of tricks(things) that makes me me feel(smell) ridiculous with my small Californian hacienda 

[Geudens]

A true work of art!

Your Hacienda is a great model, and you built it very quickly.
The town has taken me over a year to build  And I am sure you don't smell

Wonderful stuff ! and lovely details, they make them real ! I particularly like the big size of your buildings : they look very playable and they cry for long fire line units  : a regiment could occupy them !!!

Crikey I have just been redoing mine and I thought they were coming out well and then I saw this! Very nice.

A question, Malumute, a question!

The fountain, in the lower-left in the big picture - how did you make it? Not the water itself - I'm guessing it's some sort of water-effect resin-type thing, and it's done really nicely - but the circular shape of the thing itself. I couldn't get a close look at it, but it looks like you have a model as the statue in the fountain as well. What did you use? And could you (please, please!) get it out of its hiding place in the loft to take a close-up picture? I'd really appreciate it!

And of course, as I said before, the town is AMAZING!

What's next?

I hope you do not mind me answering your question Mulletmute (lack of)

I believe it is this one from Hovels. IRC Malamute mentioned it on another thread.

[Hawkeye]

Yes, that looks like the one.

Thanks, Svenn!

[uti long smile]

wowza!!

[Hammers]

Bloody Hell.
That's damned impressive, Nick.

I'm wondering if it needs a couple of palm trees or cacti? 

Really looking forward to seeing this in the flesh in October.

Right - I'd better start serious work on my F&IW board, or you're going to steal the show, you b*gger! 

Aye, that is great, Nick.

You are indeed correct. Hovels miniature and a jolly nice one it is too.

Whats next?   The Governors headquarters which will be a long building with grander two storey section with some balconies.
Some more housing, some corrals and some peasnat huts for th outlying areas.
I want to occupy a 6ftx6ft area eventually. BUt as you know its a long process....

[Malamute]

Somebody asked where I got my inspiration for the buildings. Here is a good artists impression of the town in 1836.



Its gonna be a mighty big table when its finished(in approx 30 years time...)
