And purchased..... this will be a fun book.
I look forward to seeing the above fort in some of our future games Rob
I was in these fortifications several times during the 1970's -- the walls were VERY thick stone -- I remember a sort of "catacombs" -- a labyrinthine warren of tunnels -- running throughout beneath the works. I remember it being cool down there with an occasional rat sighting....
Was there in '77. Fantastic place. St George being the historical bit and very enjoyable. Orson Wells did Macbeth there.
We were stationed at Warwick Camp just off South Rd.

Well we are certainly going to have a yarn or two over a drop on that account Neil.

Just dont let me show you the photo of me in the stocks........
OH Yes! :clap:
Rob.
If you did not want to show it, Neil, why mention it?
Strange how things go.
Despite the exceptional pictures in this book, with my getting involved with the Valdivia project and its four forts I have not used a single one of these as a model yet.

Great book . Very good inspiration for buildings .
I Still need to learn how to paint...
Painting terrain is fairly straight forward until you come to the shading. Basically you can't beat going out and looking at the landscape for yourself. I have had many a happy hour photographing rocky outcrops in the Lake District, Cliff faces on thr Jurassic coast in Dorset, or the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. That together with the fact that the further away the bluer a landscape gets until the far distance gets a dark purple and you can't go far wrong. Also try not to over detail distant objects.
