Palisade

   Not exactly a palisade, I think it is more of a humble wooden fence! A wooden fence made of plenty of balsa wood, glue and patience!

A Russian sailor helps to see the scale of the fence

I used putty, sand and little rocks to make the ground.

The front side,

the left side, 

the rear side,

and the right side. 

The corners,

the short pieces

and the long pieces.

   By the way, Happy Easter! On the Easter Sunday we went to Arcos de la Frontera, a very nice little town of Andalusia, where there is an annual tradition of running of the Bulls! They call it "Toro del Aleluya"! 

   No, we didn't run, just watched!

   That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!

Dáin Ironfoot

   Two weeks ago, I visited a town close to the place I live now, called San Fernando. And I found a shop there which sells various miniatures, including some old metallic GW. I bought the Dáin! Didn't have this one in my dwarf army. Instead, I used a dwarf king miniature of Ral Parth in our games. So, here he is:

   Back to our city, we visited the Bodegas Obregón, famous for the "Pollo en salsa de Pedro Ximénez (PX)"! Pollo means chicken and PX is the sweetest of the sherry wines.

PX itself!!!! A peculiar way to serve, one glass over the other!

Dice bags

   There are many companies on the internet which sell very nice bags! Allow me to like mine more as they are homemade. My wife made them for me. They are a gift. The one with the "ace of spades" is the new one. If someone is interested for the dimensions please write a comment or send a message.

   Below are my old dice bag with the "xxx" lining and some very beautiful dice.

   And of course, since we speak about the "Ace of Spades" here is the legendary track:

Knight of the White Tower

   OK, I know he is not a Knight of the White Tower, he is Isildur. But, since I don't have any Men of Numenor, I don't need an Isildur miniature. So, I decided to paint him with the colours of the Knight of White Tower and here he is:

   In the meanwhile we had a trip to Barcelona. We visited Sagrada Familia and the Park Guell.

Me and my daughters, my wife had the role of photographer!

   That's all for today! Stay tuned for more!

Happy New Year!

   Happy new year! Feliz 2016! Health and prosperity to everyone!
