You did cool shots! EXT!

I've gone here on vacation more times then I can count. Gotta find some good interior shots too. My photos ten to be just thrown loose into boxes :-) The smithy and bakery are very cool the trading post is very interesting also. The plan is to do it in parts. The exterior for exterior animation shots. Then we will do a full detailed interior for each of the different locations in the fort. About 17 of them total but some will be doubled up so I am thinking about 10 different sets in all, totaling about 1.5 gig of goodies once installed.

These places are so facile. Being made of wood they aren't original. The whole activity becomes an art retention history. I have visited both Canadian and American reconstructions built on ruins from the War of 1812. I have found that both memory and documentation have flaws when building a model. No one seems much interested in calibration relying instead on a best practices form. It's a triumph of abstraction that one cannot run too far off track. Almost a religion. Have you ever tried to build Solomon's Temple from the description in the bible? I attempted some sketchs. 1605, not too different from Jamestown and the military habitation at Henrietta where Sir Alan Dale was the commander. English in origin but further North.

The photos look fantastic, it´s a very nice and inspiration place

This is great love the history!!! please do more

This place is so amazing Mike and it is easy to see why you and Richard would love to do one of it. It's pretty big in scale for modeling so it is going to be a very big challenge I'd say but one I'm sure your looking forward to.

Well to do the entire fort inside and out will be about the same size challenge as doing our entire western series :-)

Mike this looks great!

Kinda reminds me of the Old Plymouth in Mass.. A great Idea!!!!

now i know where your style comes from :) until finish your set we cant wait hurry up dude :) it will be greate as always

Excellent

Hello my dear friend, Precious and brilliant photography, Impressive!! Congratulations!! All you artwork is Very Beautiful!! It is a real pleasure to visit your gallery. A million stars from me.**************Thanks you very much for you comments. Happy weekend. Hug and kiss in Your heart.Luminous Blessings.Ludy Sorry to sign so late, I was sick and could not come

I think it looks fantastic Mike and a great idea

Could be used also as Thanksgiving scene in US.

If this turns out anywhere near as good as the western sets, this will be fantastic. One period of time not very well represented at Rendo is the North American colonial expansion and American Revolutionary War. This set would really address that period. Good look on your new venture, looks like a good one!

must be awesome to walk among buildings that old and realize how many people was in your same foot steps 1000's of times.beautiful captures Mike

Looks like a great resource!!! When I visited a fortress in Puerto Rico, I was suprised to see the small scale of the construction. The average human height was markedly shorter in the 1600's :)

Tell me about it, checking out the barracks beds if I were to lay in one my head would be against the headboard and my feet would hang over the end, and I'm only 5'11". Plus I kept forgetting and wacking my head on door frames :-)

Wow! Very interesting place! Really great idea to create the entire fort!!!

Original work my friend .Exceptional lighting...

that is going to make an awesome set, it's so full of history and character...incredible really what you guys create, and the magnitude of some of the projects you undertake...my hats off to you!!! (((((hugggggs))))

Welldone, Mike ! You roxx

The Inspiration! Fantastic Origin! :)
