Ploughed field (very old school)
Carpet tile, with Dapol (Airfix) fencing, a bit off a Matchbox diorama base, scatter and foliage :)

More Blotz Terrain
Continuing my feeble attempts to improve my terrain, I finished off some more of these Blotz Terrain Lazer cut wooden "puzzles"
2 stone jetties and a "damaged" wooden one
I used these EWM Bedouin for scale purposes in this photo I added a Minimi boat (again for scale)
Wooden fencing
Again easy flat-pack style, you get 6 x 5 inch strips plus a gate (again figures for scale)

Generic Market place
I`m not very good with terrain or the visual appeal of our games, it really isn`t that critical to me. I do however aim of try and improve and occasionally try my hand a something. Here is my attempt at a generic third world market place, which could be usable in any of our games - Rif War, Tunisia or even Mexico once i have suitable civilians.
The cobble-stone base is Vac-U-Form
Hay wagon from Combat Miniatures (new wheels), the Arab is also Combat Miniatures (a camel rider I think?)
Britannia donkey cart (new wheels)
Retrokit goats & goatherd, the boy is from S&S Models
Various Arabs (Retrokit & S&S Models)
Combat Miniatures mule
Blotz Terrain market stalls with S&S Models goods
Blotz Terrain handcart with various S&S Models terrain items
The whole lot set out with buildings to give a general idea.
A different setting using African civilians and a Toyota (all from S&S Models)

Beute T30 halftrack, Tunisia `43
Captured T30 half-track based loosely on this photo
This vehicle was part of I/Panzergrenadier-Regiment 86
Old Skytrex model (thanks to Alan Owen)
I build the shield out of plastic card (poorly I know) and added mixed stowage.
The gun crew are SHQ, the driver comes as part of the kit, I gave him a quick head-swap

More 10th Panzer bits
Lost my painting mojo for February/March and most of April, I`m still not myself, but decided I had to force myself off my arse and get stuff done, heres the first attempts -
Another 251C for my 10th Panzer/Tunisia project, I`m not 100% sure whether this will join II/69 PG or become the second vehicles of 3/49th Panzer Pioneer?
