I plan on using markers to signify my Zulu's 'going to ground' when they come under fire. I will place one of these markers in front of a unit that has come under heavy fire and failed its morale test.
The following pictures show the materials that I used for these.
I originally planned to use a box of plastic Warlord Zulu's to make my markers. I was going to convert the figures so that they would be crouching down behind cover. In the end I decided against this, as I like my terrain to be as versatile as possible. By placing a couple of casualty figures on the marker works for me and I get to use the marker as just a general piece of rough ground and I can also use it for other periods.

Good idea Pat very useful!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and a good use for unwanted CDs!

Its amazing what you can make out of old CD's and a broom! Nice one!!
ReplyDeleteThey look superb, but I hope you don't regret using that 70's Disco Fever CD! Who knows when the mood might grab you!
ReplyDeletePat, that's an excellent idea, and they looks superb. Thanks also for the WIP shots - I particularly like how you did the bristles/ long grass with the hot glue gun. My only question is why you didn't like the "70s Disco Fever" CD...surely you used that by mistake??!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Don´t you dare to use the Bee Gee´s CD´s!!
DeleteExcellent!! Love the idea.
ReplyDeleteI will have to be more careful in future, you guys are just too eagle eyed spotting what's written on the CD's. I was thinking how I could chop up and use a pair of my old 70's platform shoes and flared trousers to make some more terrain but I better not stick it on this blog.
ReplyDeleteOh the poor 70'S disco fever eh , consigned to a greater good! Great inspiration on these , I will be nicking it for some Old West bits i think - especially once the Indians turn up.
ReplyDeletePat, great job and great idea
ReplyDeleteVery effective and impressive!
