.....Just One More thing

       Several people commented that the Monopoly houses were too small to match well with 1/350 scale minis so I reconsidered using them and decided to make my own. As long as I was making them from scratch I decided that I would make buildings with a more "Mediterranean" look; adobe walls stuccoed white and some pantiled roofs.

 

village on a stick, anyone?

 

simple geometric forms cut from blueboard 

and impaled on a toothpick to make handling during painting easier

 

of course I made too many......

 

I tried several layouts but I think that I like this one best

 

far enough from the fort to prevent stealth intrusions 

but close enough to stroll to the cantina

 

of course there is one loner that lives at the other end of the mountain

 

and a guardhouse, so that the staff doesn't have to spend ALL 

of their time listening to jailed nobles complain about the one-star accommodations

Dang, this photo reminds me that the Black Tower needs windows drawn in

 

almost like a postcard

 

now I'm finished, seriously, except maybe for a base.....
