It is in, and it is magnificent. Gorgeous and informative. Only problem is, now I'm dissatisfied with my beautifully painted Hudson and Allen Alamo. |
| malamute | 21 Jun 2008 4:00 a.m. PST |
I knew you would loveit! I agree about the Hudson and Allen model. I am going to keep the church and try and scarcthbuild the rest. No doubt it will take years as I am building san Antonio De Bejar at present. Just finished San Fernando church and now doing some houses. Jacales up next! |

I scratchbuilt the lunette. I will probably redo it, in line with the pictures in this book. It will require some carving oof the H&A maingate piece, to make it fit. I did a substantial espaldon in line with the drawing in BLOOD OF NOBLE MEN. Replacing that with the simpler one now shown will be relatively easy. |

I just received it yesterday. Reading thru it and looking at the photos it makes the Alamo a much more real place for me, somehow. A place of worship, a place to live, a place to die. The model is a marvelous piece of work and he says it took thousands of hours over four months. And he actually did two, one of them in 1/144th and one in 1/48th. |
