Wow,

a very impressive work. :o I like especially the little extras in the houses like the carpet, the altar oder the paintings on the walls. This "small" pieces bring a real life into the scenery. Where did you get the pictures for the paintings etc. and how did you mangage to resize it? Really a great job! ;)

Thanks,
the little extras are not difficult to make, but it is time consuming because there are so many. You can find a lot of painting in the web. I use the google picture search. "carpet rug 17 th" or "painting 17th" "coat of arms XY" "flag of Spain 17 th" gets you a lot of useful hits. Then I paste the pics I need into Powerpoint. Here you can easily resize the pics exactly. Colourprinter. Done.

Great stuff. :o
Love the detail.
I do like the obligatory hay cart under the balcony. Swashbucklers always need somewhere to land, softly :D

Hi there,

Tactica was last weekend and the show was the best I ever attended. Over 20 high-quality tables, GW presentation only by GW, the rest historical or pulp. Many old and new friends and some international visitors from England, Finland and Benelux.

Our Panama scenarios worked out very well. We were not sure about the linked mission objectives and effects between the tables, but it was ok and the players liked the idea to influence the big battle with the skirmish games.

The official pictures will take some time, but many visitors took lots of good pics. Here is the link to the first gallery by Tankred:

The pics are not in a strict order but you will recocnize my table and the 15mm Panama battle if you looked at the pics here and in the sweetwater-forum. Our third table is the 60x60 cm Pirate-Skirmish with the tavern and the small market.
I hope you like the pics of our project and the fantastic tables of the other wargaming clubs.
