From PhilH: Simple Mud Huts (10 Points)

A quick entry to tide me over.

During a recent spring clean and organise of the terrain cupboard, I found all sorts of half-finished bit, which  I dug out to apply paint over this Challenge. They have nothing to do with current projects, rather just a short diversion.


They were bought in ~2014 for my Sudan and Pulp projects, both of which have been idle for a few years. I preppe, added the curtain and door, primed and then left them in a box. Poor neglected models.


They were painted over Christmas but didn’t fancy them as my starting entry and only just got round to tapping up the post. mostly painted with different neutral emulsions.




Four huts make about half a cube, so 10 points on my tally.

Awesome little pieces of terrain here Phil.  They have a lot of character and the paint job looks great.  Sometimes it it the simple little things that make a big difference when wargaming, and that thing is often having nice terrain. Great work Phil!

    1. Thanks for the manufacturer shout-out, I completely forgot.

      I wish they did a few different ones in this style, for variety’s sake

  6. They are terrific, Phil and great addition to your Pulp and Sudan collections. I look at them and expect a witch doctor to emerge from one of of them.
