Decided to focus on putting together the ubiquitous Middle Eastern and/or Central Asian town and/or village for Back of Beyond and/or battles with Renaissance Turks and/or Persians.  OK, I will  not and/or again.

This is a project well suited for my (lack of) modeling capabilities.  My architectural models make the town in Cabinet of Dr. Caligari look like the work of Mies Van Der Rohe.  No square corners, even walls, or precision cuts required for this one.  Just get a sharp skill knife, plenty of foamcore and balsa, lather on the Elmers, cover up most defects with spackle and voila!

Plan to have two large homes, one smaller house, market building and a mosque.  Should spruce things up on the table.  Won’t terrify you with work in progress photos.  However, here’s a couple of shots of things after the carnage of basic construction.  Will add domes, awnings and other domestic touches over the next few days.
