Micro Art Studios had a Sale on – and one building I have loved the look of for years but never been able to afford (well, justify the cost) was on offer.  Covid Blues cure – I purchased it and the XIX Century Walkway.  Four hours cutting out and four hours constructing and I had my very own XIX Century Warehouse.

And that was that!

But that night the rusty gears started to uncease and churn and in the middle of the night I had to get up, make a cup of tea, and start sketching.  An idea was forming.  If I can’t play with my new beautiful building (Covid Incarceration) at least I could make a board for it to sit on!

The docklands was taking shape…

So a quick confession – this was Sunday 14th March – Yes I did start this project before the Challenge started and this is a catch up – but it was a challenge to me even then!

My Spring Clean Hobby Challenge is to paint up my Wolsung Inventors – which have been sat undercoated for several years, construct a few Micro Art and Sarissa kits carefully stored away, crack out the Carnevale kickstarter that got put to one side (and not quite forgotten) and finish off a scratch build Paddle steamer project from a few years ago.

And bring it all together on a 6×4 gaming table.

I took some inpiration from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Dieselpunk Venice! – Iron Grip: Marauders artwork and old pictures of docks.
