WIP 10 for my ongoing project.


 I have made some bases for the buildings that I did in the last post, plus an allotment, more hills, stream, railway embankment, wheatfields, 15ft fencing, gates, slit trenches, and some outhouses.






 










A bit of luxury, outdoor loos, built like a brick sh*thouse. These make good practice for trying out textures and painting before working on your main model. 

Railway embankment.


Nine wheatfields.



A couple of low hills.



15ft of fencing, plus gates, and slit trenches.





Having previously made river and canal sections, I decided to make some stream pieces. I have included a couple of sections that widen to join up with my river or marsh.





A couple of pictures with 28mm figures and vehicles on the table.











 
28mm figure for scale next to stream.



  

I may give the terrain making a break and actually paint up some miniatures for the next post as it has been a year since I picked up a figure brush.

 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.

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.
