Over recent years I’ve not bought many souvenirs back from the cruises I’ve been on, but this time I did.
In Lisbon I bought a 3D greetings card kit, ...
... which contains a number of 2D representations of major buildings in the city, including:
- The Carmo Ruins and The Santa Justa elevator
- The Castle of Sao Jorge
- The Belem Tower and The Monument to the Discoveries
- The Lisbon Cathedral
- The Rua Augusta Arch and The Commercial Square (AKA Black Horse Square)
- The National Pantheon
These could easily be used to make 2D buildings for wargames.
In Óbidos I bought a small model of the town's fortress.
In Normandy I bought a flag of the Norman region.
Not a big haul of souvenirs, but an interesting one.

Bob,
ReplyDeleteThe model of the little Fortress is a beaut- lots of interesting architecture in it's design- hard to tell the model size. Regards. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteThe model is about 1:300th-scale but without anything like a 15mm figure to compare it with, it looks just the the sort of fort Elastolin or one with of the other German toy makes would have made.
All the best,
Bob
Plenty that can be done with those greeting cards!
ReplyDeleteArchduke Piccolo (Ion),
DeleteI have a few ideas in the pipeline …
All the best,
Bob
…that castle’s a cracker, Bob. Lovely find! Will that end up as a border fort on the Stalbanian border, perhaps??!!
ReplyDeleteMartin S.,
DeleteIt’s a very nice model. It’s a bit small for use alongside my 15mm figures … but not too small.
All the best,
Bob
Great souvenirs Bob, I too am always on the lookout for something that can be used for game. Especially small castles. Best wishes- Bob
DeleteGlory to Ruritania,
DeleteI have a huge collection of small buildings that are suitable for wargaming that I’ve bought over the years, mainly in Croatia, Italy, and Greece.
All the best,
Bob
