This has been a very slow start for me and I am fearful that it will be difficult to hit my 500 point goal for this year's Challenge. I do have some figures in the queue but have not been drawn to them yet. What I always need is terrain, so my second submission has focussed on clearing off the terrain pile. This is for my WWII and ACW gaming.
Stone Walls
 |
| 75"x1" of 1/72 scale Italeri |
 |
| 60"x1/2" of 1/100 scale Battle Terrain Concepts |
 |
| Every little stick was individually glued! |
 |
| 24"x1/2" of 1/100 scale Novus Design Studio |
Roads/Bridges
Dirt Roads
 |
| 110"x2.5" Novus Design Studio |
 |
| Three layers of paint were on each of the 3 elements |
 |
| 12"x2.5"x3.5" 1/100 scale from Novus Design Studio |
 |
| Using two different colours for the stones may look odd but I like the effect |
Stone Fountain
 |
| 4" diameter, 2" high 1/100 scale Novus Design |
 |
| I may eventually use 2 part epoxy in the fountain but here I used polyurethane with green ink |
Stalingrad Nail Factory
 |
| 12"8"x3" 1/100 scale Novus Design |
 |
| Copper galvanised panels are wrong but wanted to try verdigris |
Stalingrad Railroad Station
 |
| 13"x10"x4" 1/100 scale Novus Design |
 |
| Top roof is removable |
 |
| So I am hoping that is it for my Stalingrad, just have to do up the mat |
Well it is a relief to get all that off the terrain queue. I still have 47 tree bases, 2 more houses and another 5' of snake railing to do but this was a good start.
Some new found land from Terre Neuve! I almost gave myself an aneurysm trying to calculate the points, but I think I can settle on 150 points including a bonus for the lovely railway engine and truck. Generic terrain like your walls and roads are so useful, but I think every table needs a bit of scenery to anchor it to a time and place. My philosophy is that ideally, someone should be able to look at a table without any troops on it and be able to recognise when and where it is.

Not only is this terrain very useful, it also looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful looking terrain John. The wrecked locomotive is amazing.
ReplyDeleteLots of useful terrain there John! Great work! :)
ReplyDeleteDone a great job there John.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with those scenery pieces, I specially like the fountain
ReplyDeleteA fine selection
ReplyDeleteGreat looking terrain John, kudos for hand laying your snake rails. For me the stonework on your bridge and fountain steals the show.
ReplyDeleteThat’s some very nice looking terrain 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteFantastic looking terrain, love the Stalingrad station and factory!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Some wonderful stuff there! The fountain is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff John! I love that fountain too
ReplyDeleteWow John - this almost makes me want to paint terrain! Almost. :-)
ReplyDeleteTremendous effort to get all of this stuff done, particularly those Stalingnrad-theme pieces - wow!
That's a huge assembly of terrain, John - amazing work (hope you have a good-sized shed)!
ReplyDeleteGreat terrain sir!
