Wittenberg - Sentry Boxes for Palace Gate
As I've had a bad back for the last few days, I felt wanted to do something. So dosed up on painkillers, when I could sit at my modelling desk, I needed an easy project - so I decided to do the sentry boxes for my palace diorama. These were made out of scraps of cardboard, I went for a simple colour scheme red with black stripes - which goes rather well with the sentries' uniforms.
I too have occasional back problems . . . actually my back hurts right now (but it is kidney stones moving -- not the back).
Anyway I fully understand wanting to find something to occupy yourself with while not being clear-headed enough (because of the pain pills) to do something "important" or particularly serious.
This looks like it was a very good project . . . and you are right . . . it does suit the uniforms.
A blog documenting the encounters between the armies of the imaginary nations of the Kingdom of Wittenberg and its neighbours (including the Kingdom of Monrovia and their allies). My inspiration being drawn from 'Charge or How to Play Wargames' by Young & Lawford and 'The Wargame' by Charles Grant.
I have a number of other period interests for wargaming (from ancients to WW2), these have their own blogs, see below.

Cool! Simple and effective sentry boxes.
I know how it can be with a bad back. Take care and I hope you feel better soon!

Compliments -the sentry boxes do NOT betray the illness & the painkillers- and best wishes.
