(Un)finished bussiness

OK, I'm back from a summer break with the family, so it was about time to take my brushes back too!

I had a couple of minis pending from the last batch of Yu Jing, and I thought I could get them done! They were cool to assemble (now that I got all the bits it was way easier!) and I used the same recipe, so it was quite a straightforward work. Here you have both minis:

Dynamic and cool as all the ranges
The lady with what I imagine must be some kind of gravitic parachute (at least in my imagination) not only wears her regulation tactical heels, but tactical suspender belts (you can't see them in the pic on those dark pants, sorry, but I promise they are there).

You can see both units finally finished: 

Booster Pack Beta

White Banner Expansion pack
Fair is fair, kudos to the Corvus Belli crew, who immediately replaced the missing bits, they did a really good job on that.

The whole batch looks this way, now that it's finished: 

Ahhh... completion. Feels good

This is how both Panoceania and Yu Jing forces look when facing each other:

I need a larger backdrop!


BONUS

If you made this far, I think I can take a few more seconds of your life to show you some pics from my holidays!

We made a modest trip to Tarragona (a little bit south from Barcelona, on the coast), which once was the  capital of the Roman Hispania Tarraconensis province and thus has quite a nice collection of really beautiful, old rocks.

The Amphiteatre visit is quite an experience to have

There is a Visigoth basilica built inside (later a Romanesque church)
The Aqueduct is something worth the trip out of town:

It's so wide that now its an actual, functional bridge

The Circus is only partially kept, barely part of the curve at the Porta Triumphalis stands:

Devoured by the town
 
But you can visit it underneath

Fun fact, the Town Hall plaza is built directly on the old arena, and it's indeed shaped that way. The buildings are built on the old arches of the Circus and their structure is clearly visible on the houses.

Scale models, who are we without scale models. The old Roman upper town, with the Forum and Circus:


 And then the medieval town, where you can barely recognise the Circus:

 

 Apart from that we had some medieval vibes too, as we visited the Cathedral:

Kind reminder that cathedrals were once colourful and not just plain stone

And a little town in the inside, Miravet, with this fabulous Templar fortress:

 

This would be all for today, but I'll be painting more stuff pretty soon!
