A small stable and the "Museo Naval de Ferrol"

   Another terrain piece is ready, a small stable. I think it is appropriate  for any historical period and for fantasy games as well. I used the same materials as the previous times, which are balsa wood, MDF, foam boards, plaster, little rocks, sand, a barrel and a coach-wagon wheel of Renedra Barn. I used Black as basecoat, then painted it with Vallejo Cork brown and washed it with Army Painter Strong tone.

   Ferrol is a very nice town of Spain with a great history. I really enjoyed my visit at its Naval Museum and Library.

   Another city which I visited during summer is Plasencia. Plasencia is a walled market city in the province of Cáceres in Extremadura, Spain.
