Thank you gents, appreciate the comments!

Yes, I see many adventures to be had here from kidnappings, assassinations, all out terrorist attacks etc.  in fact, as I’m putting it on a beachfront, I can get myself a couple of RHIBs for seaborne attacks…or to carry SEAL team etc…..

Anyway, before getting carried away, we are going to need more civilians.   I’ve found a 3d print company that will give me all the beach tourists etc but that will have to wait until payday.

For now, I will simply paint the minis I already have.   Here’s half a dozen for now.

Wow, that’s very impressive! I really like the outdoors elements you added, they give the building context.

David, how about a group of protestors?
Great for hiding terrorists.

Cheers….I agree.  With my ww2 buildings I like to make gardens and yards.  They add a significant element to the table both visually and in my opinion, add to the enjoyment.  Thanks

Pete…..I’m slowly building the crowd….

Very nice indeed. :-* :-*

I think I may have stayed in that hotel, shortly after my wife and I first met, though I swear it was in Rio Vermelho rather than Jardim de Alah.  Close enough anyway. ;)

Alas not. My wife and I have now been married for 17 years and this pre-dated that by a couple of years, so pre-Twit Advisor.

Besides, at the time I think we saw very little of the hotel outside of the room itself for the entirety of our stay. Not sure TA's reviews* regularly feature the robustness of the beds. :D





*Actually they just might, some years ago the TA Brazil forum was heavily populated by Yank sex tourists all wanting to get advice on how to pick up garotas de programa at Help in Rio. Few of them including the ones providing the advice could have found their arse, let alone the beach with both hands and a map. Funny old place Twit Advisor.

Carlos….over sharing there bud! 🫣

Mick…thanks!

I have put together a pergola for the terrace.   Change of plan…rather than dining chairs, I’m going to put couches and coffee tables on the terrace….just ordered a few bits from Debris of War…

Fully booked Pete!   To be fair,  there aren’t many rooms!

The trellis work over the entrance is inspired.
