Insurgency in Quadam - Empress Buildings

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That looks good.

[Digits]

Cheers 😀

First paintwork tonight.  Long way to go yet and a bit of flora to add in yet….

[CapnJim]

Looks good so far. 

You got a figure for the valet parking guy? 

[Digits]

It’s funny, I was just thinking about my teenage years back in the early 80’s.  We lived in Muscat and used to trip up to Dubai when much of it was still desert and in my opinion, it still had a soul.   

Trying to remember the name of a particular hotel that used to have a tall doorman, dressed in green with a top hat!  If I can recall the place, I may be able to source a picture of him.    I’m thinking if I can find a suitable figure, I may paint him.

[CapnJim]

You should!  You never know what a valet/doorman might hear or see.  You could even have him play a role in games...

very impressive work up till now. I love how you took normal MDF kits and really leveled the up! Will try some of your techniques myself when I get back to my modern 20mm project.

[Digits]

Thanks guys……well, almost there…….windows / door, more flora  and a bit of detailing to do but starting to come together……

Once the painting is done….I will begin the search for suitable fixtures and furnishings.   I have already found a 28mm scale luggage trolley…..that will look fine by the door.   I have also ordered some scale sun beds to pop in front, at the beech side.   That in itself gives me ideas for beech brollies and a beech bar!   

[joekano]

Wow, that looks amazing! 

[Freddy]

Great looking hotel, a true centerpiece for the table.

[trev]

That is class.  Almost seems a shame to fight over it. 

[Digits]

Thanks guys.

Well!  It only took three years, but finally it’s painted!!!








I have borrowed some furniture from another model, but it’s a bit small and not really what I had in mind so I’m on the look out to replace that.   I have little bits of window dressing to come and I need to build a pergola for the terrace….but none the less, it’s playable and for all intentions, finished!

I don’t know where it will live mind….and I doubt I will ever attempt anything this scale again, but I’m glad I got this over the line.

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

  :-*That's impressive.

[Digits]

Thanks Paul! 😉

To be fair I still have two of your balconied blocks to put together and paint to pop alongside it, they should look good!

[CapnJim]

That do indeed look purty!  Too bad it's likely to get all shot up...

[Sgt_T]

Awesome!
