WIP 9 MDF Buildings.


 The MDF buildings in this post are from Sarissa, Colin at Charlie Foxtrot models, and eBay. The outbuildings, Greenhouse, and the tractor are just a straightforward paint job, whereas the bigger buildings have been upgraded with filler, cardboard, and coffee stirrers before painting and weathering.

The high and low walls around the farm are scratch-built by me.

The farm buildings and base I got the idea and was inspired by the excellent model made by Joe Bilton. Check out his work in the last couple of issues of WSS magazine or you can see his work on Twitter.






















I need to make a base and walled graveyard for the church but this will have to do for now.










These two buildings are from Charlie Foxtrot Models.

As usual, the link for buying volume 3 or putting your name on the waiting list for a reprint of volume 1 or 2 of Setting the Scene, then please contact Steve at stevelampon@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers,
Pat.

WOODLAND & CANALS - NAP WIP 8


 I have just finished making 6ft of canals, 14 woodland bases, and a girder bridge for my river sections.

The woodland bases each have three magnetized trees (made previously for sitting on the banks of my river sections), some wooden fencing, a fallen tree, and a few bushes to give the impression of a wooded area but with plenty of room for figure placement with the removal of the magnet trees.

28mm figures for scale.









With the canal sections, I was inspired by Richard Clarke's 2018 Crisis build and more recently, Alan Shewood and Joe Bilton's superb terrain-making skills of a canal. 

Both the canal bridges and the barges are MDF kits from Sarissa Precision.  

28mm figures for scale.   














 


  



Last but not least, another Sarissa Precision MDF kit of a girder bridge to go with the river sections that I made recently. 
28mm figures and vehicles for scale.
