Modelling New Dilbar
I thought I’d have a shot at modelling the village of New Dilbar. I got out my
project notebook and sketched a plan to fit one of my 200mm tiles. I wanted
there to be a road through the village, heading west towards the old village in
one direction and towards Bushire and
the north in the other. I thought my
village could be made up of two groups of
houses, perhaps an Arab tent and, of
course, the fort as marked on the map (see
Post 8). I planned to build everything
from scratch so I made a start by cutting
some card and making the framework of
one group of houses – keeping a 10mm
figure handy to make sure everything was
in scale. Once I was happy with the basic
structure I intended to fix the models to a
terrain tile ready for the next stage.
