Peninsular Allies - Light Dragoon….& lunch!

[Ray Rivers]

Ok, the church is built!  Huzzah!  The roof of the tower nearly finished me off....this tiling is a bastard to work with!

I can not cut this stuFf in a straight line!

Living here in Spain... I can tell you that nice and strait maybe how it is build but over time the tiles come off and have to be replaced. The result is quite irregular.

Nice job!

Great looking church

You are all very kind, thanks.



When I pluck up the courage to paint it I will put it up...until then...I need to get back to figure painting.

I have all sorts of minis arrive in the post the last few weeks...phasing me a bit I will admit between this thread and my French force.

Problem as usual is I want to run at them all....and end up doing nothing!

On the allied front....I have the second kilted Scots undercoated and the first paint to the kilts added.  But I also have received all my flags for my target force, and three regiments of Front Rank infantry, so lots to get stuck into.  On top of that, I have the rifles, a box of light Dragoons, various spies, dismounted Dragoons, Spanish guerrillas etc.....so plenty to keep me going for months! On top of that, I still intend to build a few more buildings....mainly for skirmish gaming but they will wait until I see how my painting turns out.  You may have now gathered, big things petrify me when it comes to painting....so much so, the bigger their worse I get.   Stick one big house brush in my hand and a pot of delux to paint a wall...and I’m screwed!

A way to go yet but at least I’ve started painting it....

[Ray Rivers]

Yep, that will come out a treat. 

Like I say, living here is Spain, most older structures with roof tiles look pretty rugged. You have lots of missing tiles, broken tiles, etc. If they can't keep up the facade, you can bet the roof looks like crap.

I already love what I see!

Cheers guys.  I’m not so great at painting buildings but it’s passable I think.  Trying to decide whether I should build a few houses to go with it or not...

Anyway, I’m still waiting on a cross to arrive for it, but as good as finished.



When I’ve decided how I want to add foliage to this and other small trees I have like it, that will get done....until then....tree is bare.

Wonderful job you have done on the church.
I can see your heavily battered French making their
last stand in front of it, just before the glorious Spanish
army (with some British help) wipe them out.

Splendid

[Ray Rivers]
