Section (Oa): Fat Dragon Games' Castle Winterhawk Church, With Enhancements - Introduction

I have been working, for sometime, on how I should create my video tutorials, on gaming papercraft. After many attempts, fine-tunings and failures, it is clear, that my present PC (bless her) cannot cope with direct recording etc, at the quality I would like; neither can my present cameras.

So, fortunately, a couple of weeks ago, I was doing my weekly shopping, and I saw this little beauty, reduced to £30 (specs here, for the technobods) ...

Nikon Coolpix S6100

I am delighted with it, and it is the perfect camera, for me, at this time, for these projects.

As my time is precious ( ;) ), I have decided to combine many of my techniques, in one project. I will then be able to draw upon this project, to complete some of the basic sections, in the compendium.

Recently, I purchased Fat Dragon Games' Castle Winterhawk Church, and this will be the foundation kit, of this project ...

The church is a '28 mm flatpack', but, I will be creating it at 50% size ('15 mm') and as a rigid piece. There will be a few surprise enhancements, along-the-way ;)

Time to take some pics ...
