The Mediterranean - Update 4 - Terrain Mat, Italians, 3rd Print Run.

Update number 4 for Setting The Scene volume 2, The Mediterranean, we have a new terrain mat, WW2 Italian Infantry, a couple of vehicles, a new camera, plus news on Setting The Scene volume 1.

I recently finished a 5ft x 10ft terrain mat which I hope looks suitably Mediterranean and it is graced with some wonderfully painted figures and vehicles by the very talented Nick from  moitereisbuntewelt.blogspot.com. (scroll down for more pictures).

I will have a 'Guest Painter's Section' in the new book and Nick will be doing a tutorial on how he painted the Italian Infantry and hopefully the vehicles as well.

I have finally upgraded my old camera, so hopefully, you will see an improvement in the quality and depth of the pictures. I am no expert on photography but there will be a short piece in volume 2 on the new camera I have chosen and why.

The books for the 3rd print run Setting The Scene, Winter Wargaming arrived today and Steve has been beavering away and will be posting these out tomorrow and Thursday to all those who have ordered a copy. We have also ordered a fair few extra copies, so if you haven't ordered and you want a copy then you can either contact me by clicking on Setting The Scene in the second box down from the top right column of this page or through Steve at   http://www.stevenlampon.co.uk/portfolio/  

Karwansaray Publishers at Wargames Soldier and Strategy are also stocking the book and have done a review in this months magazine. (see below)


The vehicles are an Italian M13/40 and a German Marder II both from Perry Miniatures along with the infantry. The table looks a bit sparse but this is intentional as I want you to focus on the mat, that is if you can draw your eyes away from Nick's Italians. 














   


   Napoleonics for the Peninsula coming up next.

Cheers,

Pat.

      Thanks John. I somehow have the urgent feeling to paint me up some Italians for my own collection... strange that.

    Yes, lovely! If I may ask, what figures were used for the Italian infantry?

    Great looking battle mat my friend! It really helps to give that unique mediterranean flair. Obviously works in rainy Britain as well ;-)
    I've had the temerity to 'lend' me one of your photos for my latest blog post. Full credits of course.

    Goodness Pat, this all looks just bloody fab. From the buildings to those lovely minis and that mat looks everso convincing.
    Sadly have no plans at all to start a Med project, but darn you for tempting me regardless with these last few posts.
