Thanks @vodkafan!

Painted the other side of the little square. Originally I thought it would look a bit bland, but painting the door dark red made quite a difference I think. Doing it all over again J would make the second building another shop or add a fountain.

Oh, and I also finished painting the living quarter. Again nothing fancy, but it does the job.

Thanks, guys! I‘ll make sure there is enough space for everyone to live in.

Next up, the greengrocer. Initially I planned to paint the doors and shutters sjyblue or seagreen but decided against it. That would probably have been too colourful.

Your decision on the not painting the  shutters is spot on IMHO. I am enjoying your steady progress on this wonderful project. Well done!

Nice touches like the crucifix on the wall.
Keep up the good work.

I must apologise for not posting regular updates. To add a bit more variety I decided the city should also have a suburb for the not so well of working class. So I started with a DIY building using a resin roof and plasticard with rough stone walls. The colours are a bit more muted and there is even a bit of grass growing on the roof.

Do you remember the brothel from the previous builds? It’s finally finished. Not 100% glad with how the pergola came out but it’s ok and “gameable” for skirmishes. A number of ladies if the night also got painted along with a small building from TT Combat.

Great additions, I really like the little touches like the grass on the top of the shack. Not sure about the colour though, Spanish buildings are in general very light colour: dusty and sun-bleached. (Except in Galicia, where they are mossy in the rainy weather.)
The ladies look nice too :)

Never been to Spain, so can’t comment on the building colours, but the builds and figures are excellent! I think the the pergola turned out well- especially considering how rarely one sees pergolas in wargame scenery.
