Muskets and Tomahawks Palisade Wall

 

            This is an original Old Glory 15mm fort. I cannot say how or when I got it. Nor what I had originally planned to do with it. I have had it while in NY. It has been part of the shame for well over 12 years. 

Stock photo from Old Glory

             During the move from storage to my current home it got broke. I remember dad's face when he dropped the box and you could heard everything smash. It sound like china breaking. He had no idea what was in the box. Just that whatever it was, was no more. 

            The larger pieces took the most damage. It broke this way because of the resin used. It is that old school 80s type resin. Most breaks occurred where bubbles were or were the resin did not get pushed fully into the mold.

            The building and block houses I don't think I will ever use. Those I will sell off. The walls which broke and were put back together, with missing pieces, I can use. They are tall enough for service in M&T and Blood and Plunder. 

            I started with Otter Brown primer. A heavy dry brush of human fresh, junk freebe paint, with a wash of chocolate brown. Perfect look like wood, fresh cut. Palisade walls are grey and look old by the time they get completed.

Palisade wall at Jamestown

            Walls more grey. Not as grey as Jamestown. As those are probable 40 pus years old. They were there when I was there.

            And flocked.

Tabletop World "Stone Bridge" part IV

 

            A massive project that was intimidating to start. I would like to say I had a plan. If there was ever one. The plan never lasted between painting days. The stone work and plaster were experiments. Those I tackled when I knew there were at least 2 back to back days. The roof and metal work I painted twice. As the results were shit. 

            The randomness in the stone and the wood took the longest. It did not take as long as I thought. A total of 2 months on and off again efforts while home. Maybe 9 full days. 2 days were cleaning. I cannot say how long it took to do the wood.

        Very happy with the way the plaster came out. I walked it up from a base orange. The orange gave the plaster a warmer look.

            These are the cottages. I got them way back when I lived in NY. Over 10 years ago, so much shame. The original plan was to use them for M&T. Now they can pull double duty and cover Anno Domini too.

            Primed Otter brown. I think they will go on the road, if I am driving.

Port Royal "pre production samples"

 

                A little disappointed. I know a whole custom table was built for demos. I would have thought the demo table would be out for demos. With the pre production there to see and touch. Demos were given on the pre production with the demo table MIA.

            The card stock in kit building look good. Maybe 4x thicker than the GW card you got long ago. I will go with 3D printed stuff.
