The Palazzo is Plastered!

Progress on the Borgias’ Palazzo project has far exceeded my expectations to date, in that all the external walls have been plastered with filler. I used about half a tube of the extra fine quality filler, the sort all DIY outlets stock in their decorating products. It dries to the touch in about an hour and is hard in about half a day I’ve found.

Shed and single storey Modular Building, Roman Stone window surrounds.

Rear face: Warbases Modular single storey buildings and Shed with Charlie

Foxtrot Tower, omitting middle section (Resin roof comes with the kit).

Rear face (2): Warbases Roman stone window surrounds added to the long

single storey Modular Building.

Right face: Warbases General Purpose Gateway between Large Roman Tower

and Single Storey Modular Building. 3mm MDF  base custom cut by Martin

at Warbases.

The next task will be to plaster the internal faces of the crenellations atop the large tower and paint the inside walls of the tall tower as they are visible through the larger windows on each of the four faces. I might even add some frescos if I can download something suitable and scale it accurately, as I managed with my Roman villa.

In the meantime I’d like to get a few figures on the painting desk. I have a few Trent Miniatures Austrians I plan to render as Grenzer to give something a little different to that army. I also have some Perry Miniatures AWI units in the queue, both British and Continental infantry, and some British Light Dragoons. We will have to see what develops in the next few weeks.
