Almansa 1707 - 2mm Spanish/Mediterranean Buildings

 


I've got the castle, so needed some normal homes and houses. Brigade Models make a range of excellent 2mm Mediterranean buildings, so these were my first choice and at £6.25 for 20 mixed buildings you can't go wrong.


I also bought some Roman buildings too and used the more modern buildings to add to the collection. I'm not sure if Almansa had a town square, but my Almansa does! 


Then I saw the recently released  2/3mm Greek buildings from Irregular Miniatures by Geoff Addison and realised that some of the buildings would fit in very nice with the Brigade models. The Fountain in the town square above is from this collection, based on some sandpaper.


I liked the look of Reject Richard's 2mm buildings, he painted up for his French Wars of Religion, so I based mine up on the same sized base as his, 40 x 40. And based then to look a little like a street like Richard did. So if need be we can borrow each others for our games.


Here they are in all their splendour around Almansa Castle. With a base of  2mm Spanish infantry for scale.


There's loads more terrain to come!

    1. They do! How do you fit one of your stands into a town square?

    2. @ Jonathan, Now this is where my plan went slightly sideways. "With ease", I answer confidently, just put the base on top, this is after buying and applying 2 gallons of thick varnish over all the buildings!

  3. They look the business Ray, really cracking looking town. Brigade's models are really cracking for such a tiny scale. Looking forward to seeing more of you terrain as you progress, The project is going to look stunning on the table.

  4. Lovely terrain Ray. I think placing them on top is a fine solution, and you can always remove a town base and put a brigade in its place when required.

    1. I make you right Lawrence, at this scale, it wouldn't matter if the town moved a few mm over.

  7. From strength to strength your collection grows. Nice details and the overall effect is a small city.

  8. The itsy bitsy, teeny weeny city looks almost as good as a polka dot bikini, Ray (hopefully everyone is old enough to understand the reference!)
