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.






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.

    The photos are not showing and only appear for me when I click on the blank spaces and then they are taking an age to load. Files size too big? Aside from that when I can get to see them, superb work as always Pat!

      Hopefully your problem loading the photos was a one-off.

      Thanks Dai, I don't get to play on it much myself either but hopefully that will change.

    Brilliant terrain. I will be using the idea of the magnetised trees.

      Thanks Frank, it should make a good defensive line with my 1940 games.

    Great work as always. What is the base for the woodland areas? MDF?

    Those all look awfully nice. Great job. A canal is not a typical choice of terrain so will make any table really stand out. 😀

    Thanks Stew, worth having a canal in your terrain collection if you game 1940.

    Very, very impressive work there! Easily the best canal I’ve ever seen.
    I think a 1940 scenery book beckons 😉

      Very kind of you to say Matt but if you really want to be impressed with some canal work then check out what Richard Clarke, Alan Sheward, and Joe Bilton have produced.
      Cheers,
      Pat.
