Harbour area finished

Took a while, but eventually got all the brickwork finished and sprayed. In some areas the spray didn't quite cover 100% but this effect actually made it look a bit more realistic.

Certainly all the elements of the harbour seem to fit well together. Still boats, etc, to paint or finish painting but the whole lot is quite workable.

One thing I was slightly worried about was making steps. Needn't have; the simple idea of layered sheet balsa worked well.

The working dock area is liable to change on a regular basis. Apart from anything else it's far too clean, tidy and uncluttered!

Although I have added some 'depth' to the town chances are any action concerning the harbour will not spread beyond the first line of houses.

 So that's it. It will always be a work in progress and probably never look the same two scenarios in a row, but it is certainly workable.

  1. It looks great Rob and is so versatile, it could play a role in scenarios from the late Middle Ages onwards, with some changes to the style of ships and architecture of the surrounding buildings!

    1. Actually I've got some Greek figures that would make good statues where the lighthouse is, plus Greek triremes...

    1. A bit damp with an uncomfortable feeling beween the toes. Hate sand. Oh yeah, a fishing boat or two appear to have gone missing recently but the area is a bit over fished at the moment so that might turn out to be a good thing in the long run.

  3. Workable, attractive and functional but damned impressive as well!

    1. Thanks - though must admit I never thought of it as being impressive!
