Go figure. Trying to log in to my 'rescue' blog and somehow I've regained access to my other blogs!
This is a first time test of the full set up. Welcome comments on ways to adjust setup to improve the alignment with the real Peking at the time of the Boxer Rebellion. Though hard to know since no two maps seem to agree.
Forward progress, if only in a small step. I think I have enough buildings to make it all work and I know I have all the figures I'm going to want - just need to paint more, a LOT more.

The Tartar Wall looks great. Having done my layout on a much smaller table area, I am extremely impressed and envious of the space your surface allows. I like what I did, but it was cramped and the space I had to work within dictated too much of the look of my layout. Yours offers you much more opportunity to control the look of what you are doing. I really enjoyed seeing your progress. The Foo Dogs look good. Richard

An impressive table setup. When finished, I'm sure it will be the best Peking!
And a huge list of figures to do! So, what you need is paint, paint, paint!
I'll be following your project with great interest and I wish you good luck!

Progress is good.
And Dinthedin, while I might one day have the largest Peking setup based on numbers of buildings and figures if it ever all gets finished - and getting it all finished is absolutely the goal post I'm kicking for - I prefer not to judge the various Peking setups as to which is best. Everyone's variation has merit. It's all about having a good time and sharing that with others, not about being "the best." I'll save my competitive spirit for a game that gets my juices going - until the game is over and camaraderie returns.
And, go figure, I get access back to the blog and - poof - its a problem again. Bloody computers!

Finally managed to get the ramp for the Tartar Wall built. Quite a complex piece of work with a few oopses along the way but I've adopted the Joy of Painting/Bob Ross attitude, no mistakes, just happy accidents - it is a very, very old wall after all, many hundreds of years.
Here is a photo showing scale of wall in comparison to some ACW figures standing in for the Boxers for now.

The ramp looks fantastic! How do you intend to finish the ramp and wall? Also are you intending to notch the wall where the ramp would enter it? Super work.

Thanks, princeman.
To your question about notching the wall, let's just say that with nearly thirty actual feet of wall when counting both sides (more maybe) including the extra gate, the bastions, and the corner pieces, I opted out of doing crenellations. I might be slightly off-kilter by nature but I don't want to be genuinely diagnosed bonkers! So, no, probably not notch the opening, especially since the top of the ramp is even with the top of the wall. Still hemming and hawing about openings for the bastions but, again, probably not since I might want to use the walls without the bastions.
As to finish, I've toyed with the idea of adding some indication of stonework but decided against it - except for the one side of one wall where I screwed up and glued the smooth side out - there is a nice texture already to the walls so I will paint it all a chocolate brown and then dry brush it closer to the actual wall. Still might give some paving stone effects to the tops of the walls and maybe the inclines of the ramp since I will be adding ground texture and even some verdure here and there. Oh, and my smooth side out screw up is the wall I will use to place the ramp which will effectively hide the issue.
Take care.

The Tartar Wall is TALL - and primed and ready for painting (more dry brushing than painting) and texturing where appropriate. The 'blemish' is fixed as are a few others, hopefully all of them.

Now, I didn't say it is all finished. At least one bit of detailing I know I will add and I - might - go back and put texture on the walkways if I feel it is worth the extra effort.
With this project out of the way, my hobby time can bear fruit in other directions including more work on the other buildings for this game and the figures, too.
The 'glorious' refers to it being in a playable state, not that it is some glorious work - just workable. But I like it.
