My son's off to Venice next week. Do you need any reference pictures?

It may sound like heresy but I was totally underwhelmed by St Marks. The freely accessible bits were just a standard Italian cathedral and beyond that it was €3 to look in here and €3 to look down there etc. Hardly worth queuing for. The Doge's Palace on the other hand was Renaissance shock and awe. Everything about the place was intended to send a message, "This is Venice, who the f#@* are you?"

EB....I'm mega excited to get started on my lot!!! Might have to pick your brains on how your thinking of texturing and painting your lot!!

Five bridges, feck knows how much raised street and eleven buildings - some of them huge. All for £100, delivered.

Now that's what I call a bargain.

What the feck am I going to do with it?

Donate it all to a poor Scotsman, down on his wargaming luck?

So Paul....was this the kind of stuff u had in mind for your Venetian Horror game at Ayton?? Could get some stuff complete by then to use if you want?? Get EB on it too??!! Haha

Not for me thanks. Memories of Venice are etched in my mind - wonderful place.

Paul - wot Jamie says. If you need stuff for your game I can contribute, and willingly so.

I too love Venice. My favorite city so far.

Yes me too , get off the tourist streets and it’s utterly fascinating. Was there this time last year and now I want to go again !

I loved wandering around the city. It's impossible to get lost. If you pick a direction and stick to it you either come to a sign for St Marks or the Rialto or you reach the lagoon.

Another benefit of venice, you can get images of anything, and I mean anything!
