Building a Peninsular town (update 19/03/24 - more buildings painted

[Warboss Nick]

What started with a church is slowly growing into a small Peninsular city. No, that’s not correct: It started with some AWI and pirate buildings repurposed for the Peninsular. Next came two windmills and an orchard. I also had some roads, and my friend Wellington a sizeable length of river. That‘s all you need for gaming napoleonics in the Peninsular, right?

Well, not so fast. Next came a small vaubanesque redoubt that can easily serve from the TYW onwards right up to Napoleon. Just a nice objective or backdrop to a battlefield. And I already had the main pieces in my pile of shame. So no harm done.

But of course in the Peninsular you need a proper church. I already had a church you say? But that one is more italo-norman than Spanish, it doesn‘t have a bell tower and cannot be entered. Sure another church won’t hurt anyone. And as I was at it, a a fountain and a nice statue couldn’t hurt either.

You suspect a pattern here? But I haven’t even told you that for a scenario I need a proper farm. And some of those streets of Rome houses look like they can be repurposed for the Peninsular. Oh, and my FLGS now has these neat mdf kits for Freebooters Fate that look quite tempting.

Let’s face it, even before I started calling it Castello Luminosa it was on it’s way to becoming a small city.

The latest addition is the Cabaña Òrdago with an extra floor. The model is from the city of longfall range for freebooters fate. I added roof tiles from NOCH and some plaster on the walls as well as the garden. A nice, sturdy mdf kit with interior details. I only added a chimney and fireplace inside. Furniture still to come.

This is inspirational - I love that redoubt

Hello I am impressed with your cobblestone floors and roads.
Do you do them yourself?

[Hu Rhu]

Excellent. 

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great stuff! Particularly the redoubt.

[Warboss Nick]

Thanks everyone! That’s great motivation to carry on.

The main basis for the redoubt are two resin pieces from Magister Militum. You can see more of how I put the whole thing together in the original thread (follow the link).

Floors in n the buildings were pre cut in the MDF an painted mostly with contrast paints. Where that is not the case I scratch in the structure myself.
The cobblestone in the garden is made of cardboard cut into little cobblestones and glued on using PVA. Quite effective but takes some time.
Roads and plaza are high quality products from NOCH. Good for smaller setups, but for a complete town I’m thinking about getting a gaming mat with a cobblestone pattern printed on.

Excellent work!

[Phil Portway]

Fabulous work, I doff my cap to you sir!

[Warboss Nick]

Glad you like it! I will add to it even though I current do not know when I will be able to do so.

great looking village

[Littlearmies]

It looks great - my only comment would be that your buildings are a bit neat and square - you need a lot more non-90 degree corners and sagging rooves!
