During the month of December I spent most of my spare hobby time making a varied amount of terrain. There is some for the Medieval period and Afghanistan/Sudan but the majority of it is quite versatile for most periods.
Here is the first batch that I will be showing, which are a couple of large wheatfields or a series of wheatfields if you like, each on a large base.
The first one I have is a bend in a road running through a series of fields, bordered with stone walls and a few gate opening's.
The second base is again a track running through a series of fields but there is also an irrigation ditch with a small wooden bridge running over it.
Both of these fields link together quite nicely to form a larger area.
Materials used.
Hardboard
Doormat
Small stones from the garden centre (for the walls)
Tile Grout
Balsa Wood
PVA Glue
Sand and small ballast.
Household Paint.
The water effects could do with a couple of more coats of gloss varnish as they have only had the one coat.
More terrain to come next week.
Those are great, Pat! Simon
