Back in the Building Business


A Jenga block special


Note the Confederate original - the design was, ahem, designed to be quick and easy to build and purely representational….


An angled view - the new model will be rather like a popular 1970s confectionary….

For reasons that are obscure even by my standards you can see what the next model on the tray is. This is based very loosely on my previous version for the Confederates that featured in The Portable Ironclads Wargame. No clues but this new model is for an altogether more exotic locale….

Thus far it is mere bricks and mortar with the detailing, artillery and the all important ensign to follow. It is for a specific scenario I have in mind that will NOT be featuring in Developing the Portable Ironclads Wargame but certainly has a historical background but probably not as far back as you might think….

Tomorrow will see the detail added prior to painting. In truth the model is really easy to put together but I had a few other things to take care of today so am pacing myself. The scenario that goes with will be something rather special though…. :-)

Love that ACW fort David. Intrigued to find out what the second building will be.

Hello there nundanket,

It should be finished in a day or so and I am planning to fight the action that it appears in next weekend.

Whilst not being by any stretch of the imagination historically accurate the simple lines and styling fit in well with the ship models as well as the block armies.

All the best,

DC
