Maybe next time…<BR/><BR/>I am fascinated by the speed and skill with which you are assembling your Spanish Real Estate empire. Good stuff! One question – what paint colour/manufacturer are you using for your rifle green on Sharpe’s boys? I am about to paint some 20mm Riflemen and can’t decide on the correct colour.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1168640296546393402007-01-13T09:18:00.000+11:002007-01-13T09:18:00.000+11:00G'day Stokes,I don't know about "the new Ian Weekl...G'day Stokes,<BR/><BR/>I don't know about "the new Ian Weekly" - I don't think I have the patience to work at that level!<BR/><BR/>I wrote the piece because I never really saw anything on how someone might go about converting a 2D image into a 3D object.

It's great fun and terribly interesting to have a glimpse "behind the scenes" and learn how someonce conceptualized and constructed his pieces of scenery and/or buildings. Perhaps you might become the "new" Ian Weekley? Will your peninsular collection be strictly for skirmish level actions, or will it grow enough for larger battles?<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the weekend,<BR/><BR/>StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1168589813711874242007-01-12T19:16:00.000+11:002007-01-12T19:16:00.000+11:00You're welcome Jeff.Roly's Peninsular buildings (a...You're welcome Jeff.<BR/><BR/>Roly's Peninsular buildings (and the eye-candy pix in Mr Darnells' terrain book/mag) were primary sources of inspiration in my Peninsula project.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-1168581968306503912007-01-12T17:06:00.000+11:002007-01-12T17:06:00.000+11:00Ah, Thank you, this helps a great deal.

I particularly like how the differences in heights and roof angles make the whole look far more interesting.<BR/><BR/>If you are unfamiliar with it (and since you are interested in the Peninsular War), you might want to check out Foly Hermans' article on building a Spanish village.
