Getting windy

I finally bought the PDF of Paul Darnell's Touching History Volume 1: Spain. This is available through the Karwansary webstore, the same people who publish Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy. I'm really glad I got it, as it has given me plenty of ideas for further Spanish terrain for the WSS in Spain project. Having just consumed a tube of Pringles, I decided the time was right to build a Spanish Windmill.

The brick work didn't come out as well as I'd hoped.

The barrels are from the War of Spanish Succession artillery set.

I ended up using fly-screen mesh for the sails.

Really happy with how the tiled roof came out.

Battlefield set-up

Forgive the unpainted troops. It looks right at home on the table. The other Spanish buildings look a bit too white though...

I'm back to work today, but I have plans this year to put together a Spanish Church, a few pantiled walls, some destroyed Italian buildings for Cassino, and a Roman era farm complex for the Civil Wars using the same basic  construction techniques.
