So Close I Can Almost Taste It!

     I got the first few stages of groundwork done, all the base colors and the the first round of flocking are finished. I am almost finished with the model. This is the part of the project that brings into focus all of the little things that still need to be completed; cannons, game support items, pre-packing the minis, rules, dice, information cards....

..........but I couldn't resist putting it all together to see what it looks like.  So here it is in all its glory!

just for safety's sake I think that I will trim back the inside corner of the bastion bases

 

I really wish that there was a practical way to include some sort of glacid

 

a "confessions" posting is coming soon to cover the differences between 

this wargaming toy and a truly accurate model of the Castillo, please be understanding

 

the one lone guard on the rampart is our 28mm friend from earlier pictures

 

one day I hope the NPS will end its gentle neglect of the truly historic landmark 

and restore the Castillo to its former glory (preferably before I pass away)

     As usual, comments, criticism, support and ideas are all welcome.
