Great stuff so far.

What are the dimensions of the base board?

Nick, it goes without saying that I love it - but I'll say it anyway. It should be superb when finished!

As an aside, have you any pics of typical Presidio buildings? I've just read "The Mark Of Zorro" (again, after a 20 year hiatus) and quite a bit of it takes place in and around the Presidio. I have a couple of the one in San Antonio de Béxar, but nothing detailed enough to attempt a decent model.

Thanks for any help and a Happy New Year!.

Right, off to get paralytic

Check out Presidio La Bahia, or Goliad as it is better known. (Site of the infamous massacre of Fannin's command during the Texas war.)

Its fully restored and presevered. There should be lots of useful stuff on the website.

Let me know if you need more info and I'll have a look in my favourites at work next week

it's funny, it was just the same way we work. Except that I coat the walls before putting doors and windows. it keeps me from across the recorks crack. In any case, a beautiful building in anticipation: bravo!

That's the one I meant to say - I don't know why I wrote "San Antonio"

I'll look at that link later.

We're going to need a bigger table (and room).

Looking forward to seeing this progress

More cuttings from the hebe will no doubt be required.

Outstanding! Gave me a yearning to watch The new version Alamo all over again, and I missed the Italian Job because of it!

Just came back from a skiing trip and found this wonderful guide

... absolutely nice and I just can not wait to see the building finished.

And I also need a building for my governor for my pirate range

and new ideas are always welcome

By the way will you add a bell tower???

I especially love the detailed door - this will look great!

Christian · « **Reply #28 on:** January 03, 2010, 07:32:21 AM »

That's incredible!

The fact that it will actually get used in games is what makes me the most envious

Do you do any interiors for your buildings? Have you ever had any need to?

Great work!
