Bienvenido to Golfonseca!
« on: February 17, 2013, 07:17:05 PM »
I decided to take a break today from my VBCW project and go back to photograph my Central American Imagination of Golfonseca for AK 47 Republic:

Obviously based on some decent photographs. Looks good, especially the adverts, thanks for sharing.  :D

Awesome work!

Correct - 15mm.  Not my usual scale, but I think it works better for modern gaming.  The figures are Battlefront and Peter Pig.

Very nice but needs to be less tidy unless you are aiming for downtown Lima which is surprisingly, indeed unnervingly, clean.

Presidente for life Somoza will not tolerate trash in his model village that he shows to the Yankees!  lol  Oddly enough, when they were shooting the film Salvador, the government tourist officer assigned to Oliver Stone complained that he was making the streets look too dirty with the set dressings.

That's a good idea - I'll have to dirty things up a bit.

That is very, VERY nice.  Change the signage, and you could easily be on the other side of the world.
