gents

I have some Spanish buildings getting close to the top of the line for painting. Whilst I am turning my mind to terrain for the peninsula, can others suggest typical Spanish/Portugese terrain pieces that I should be looking to build/paint/have others make for me? #1 priority in my mind is the olive grove.

Bloody great hills, mountains, wide dry river beds(summer), bloody great rivers (winter), passes, plains, rocky outcrops, gorges, villages on top of hills, Maize fields, vineyards, do not know what they looked like in the 19th century, but current Portugese ones appear to be like walled gardens, although as an Aussie, that description may not help much. The maize fields in southern Spain generaly have irrigation ditches around them, so its not just a case of walking through them. There's a lot of forest in Northern Portugal and the terrain can be very rough.
