From DaveD - Bridge and Hedges (35 Points)

This weeks terrain progress is another 15mm sized girder bridge and 25 feet of hedges.

First up is a MDF bridge sourced from e-bay for £3.50.  It was a simple kit bash job. This means I now have a range of bridges by type and length to add to the terrain collection - size is 1/2 a terrain cube 10 points






Next is the never ending battle with hedges ... as I am going to be doing some large games set in the bocage area of Normandy the mantra of “you can never have enough hedges “ comes to the fore.  So here is another 25 feet of hedges





I have done some with bits of fence and gates in using some mdf fencing from Blotz




They are made from 1/16th ply (a range of lengths  3 , 4 , 6, 8  9 and 12 inch) with a section of rubberised horse hair hot glued. This is all then sprayed a dark colour and a suitable flock applied. This takes me to about 60 feet of hedging . I reckon I need about another 40!  its 300  cubic inches worth so 25pts

Another excellent Saturday terrain entry! Dave, you are just cracking on with your 15mm WWII Normandy project. The bridge is very nice, but I have to say that I'm loving your horsehair hedges. I particularly like the irregular way you cut the top profile to give them a more natural, rustic look and the addition of the fencing adds visual interest (and handy access to the fields within, no less). Best wishes on the next 40 feet!

  2. Wonderful work Dave! The bridge is ace, but those hedges are awesome as hell! I'm sure they'll come in handy for more than a hand full of scenarios.

  9. Well that rather puts the question up whether you're a Hedge Wizard or Hedge Knight?! But anyway: awesome stuff.
