Thank you, guys, much appreciated! The plan is to do streetfights as skirmish with Napoleonic and TYW, but also to give larger scale actions a try with Black Powder.

Thanks guys! It may not seem that way, but your comments keep me going.

Two more buildings and a small backyard. This time I went for colours instead of the usual sand tones. Not 100% content with how they turned out. Should have known that the brickwork would not stand out as well with these colours so fully plastered would have been better. While the exception they will provide a bit if extra colour in my Peninsular town.

They look good to me too.

Buildings can be different colours, pinks and off reds being common (the colour of unpainted 'natural plasters'). I think the problem is that we are so used to seeing all 'plastered wargames buildings' painted 'dry brushed white' that anything else looks odd somehow - but, it isn't.

Nice work.

Brave man, lol , don't listen to me. It looks good.

Thanks guys! Just took out my collection to a display game at a local show. The town was somehow different from what I expected. I need more houses and at the same time found a possible cathedral - three churches & chapels are not enough for Spain, are they?

Painted another one my builds from December/January. This time the one with the passage. No fancy colours as this is already a “special” building. I felt that something was missing after painting however and quickly added a flower box. Not sure if this is a thing in a hot Spanish summer. What do you think?

Yu have quite the town going there.  That house is a lovely addition to it.
