Spanish Buildings for 40mm Peninsular

Freind Chris Charlton surprised me with an early Christmas Present, donating some lovely buildings to the 40mm Peninsular project.

These are out of production Old Glory and are oversized 28mm which I feel fits perfectly.

Chris has done a fantastic job of painting these and basing them to give nice paved areas. Having languished in an out building they just needed a little tidying up. So whilst giving them a brush down and wipe with a damp cloth it was the ideal opportunity to take a few snaps of them.

The Church is probably my favourite, Chris has done this lovely model proud, I love the warm colour scheme he has used, the addition of some shrubbery adds a bit to it as well. The rooves all come off so figures can sit inside. 

The Villa is a slightly different style, much paler as I suppose it is meant to be a nicer build. Perfect for a garrison headquarters or game objective. It also has a lovely little coat of arms over the porch. Chris has added the base with walls and paving and made a cracking job of it.

This little block of houses vies for first place for me, a lovely compostion again with a paved base added by Chris and a tree that was once a Bonzai by all accounts. lovely this one. Again all 3 tiled rooves lift off.

Lastly is a small farm, complete with a base with small patches of farmland and paving and two Bonzai that needed a slight amount of repair.

Taken as a whole this is more than enough buildings for my planned collection, along with some of Steve's very large trees our terrain is all set for this mini project.

A few shots with a couple of armed Monks to give you an idea of scale, I think this is perfect, proper 40mm would probably look a bit on the big side, these oversized 28mm look perfect to me.

I cant wait now to get the figures finished so we can get this lot on table. Fingers crossed a few more weeks and we will be there.

Chris also very kindly picked up a couple of hand made trees from the last valley beautiful big things perfect for 40mm, I included a base of skirmishers for scale. You can just see behind them the boxes with 30 or so extra 40mm figures I also picked up at York

So we are well on our way, just need to paint the French, is there a theme here?
