The Painted Tower

by madguru | Mar 12, 2017 | Buildings, Bridges, Defensive Works, Etc., Terrain Building

After posting 200+ pics showing the rather involved and time-consuming build of my Afghan/NWF Hill Tower/Mud Fort, I am back again, with a short-but-sweet post sharing a handful of pics of the just-finished fully painted version.I’m very happy with how the the...

The Accidental HIll-Fort

by madguru | Feb 21, 2017 | Buildings, Bridges, Defensive Works, Etc., Terrain Building

I’ve called this project “The Accidental Hill-Fort” because until literally just before I started building it, I had no intention to, so it virtually came into being by accident!This past October I put up a post about some figure conversions...

by madguru | Jan 26, 2016 | Buildings, Bridges, Defensive Works, Etc., Terrain Building

Kohistan Gate for Kabul

by madguru | Jan 21, 2016 | Buildings, Bridges, Defensive Works, Etc., Terrain Building

Last night I got back home from a very long & productive day’s work and — to relax, really — spent the late night on something I’d been thinking about for the past few days, since finishing up my scratchbuilt Kabul Bridge… namely,...
