Woebetides - the Factor's Residence

I've just completed a building to form the centre-piece of either Fort James or Fort Charles in the Woebetide Islands. 


It's Sarissa's Administration Building. They intend it to be used in North Africa, for Tobruk perhaps, but I think it works OK as an eighteenth century house to act as the residence of the either the British Factor or the French Comptoir. In passing it's worth noting that I could use it as a building in Matamoros for my Maximilian Adventure games too.

I've built the model straight out of the box... bag... erm... clingfilm packaging.  Finishing was done by painting the whole with Standard Paints Earth Brown and then stippling on progressively lighter colours from Vallejo - Middle Stone, Cork Brown, Dark Sand, and Iraqi Sand.

Now I just need to come up with another house for the side's leader!

I have a possibly suitable building, it was about to be chucked out in our club move, but... I saved it. I'll show it to Richard and Andy tomorrow and take a picture I can post, but it is a southern style mansion.

Nice model and Will's salvaged building would work well as a plantation owners house.

Don't know what happened there. It's the first time I've commented from an iPad so I must have done something wrong.
