Le Pissoir

Le Pissoir

One of those lazer-cut models from Blotz Terrain (bought from Sgt`s Mess), based on some Wills Modelcraft cobble, the four benches come as part of the kit.

Rubble piles

Rubble Piles

For cluttering up an urban tabletop.

Three commercial resin pieces

The two larger are from Queens Hussar (now available from Lancer I think?), 

the smaller piece is from Anyscale Models

Two bits of Matchbox diorama base, tarted up with extra scatter

Three pieces made from left over filler from the stuff I`ve been building over the last few weeks again tarted up with random scatter

 

Sand Sculpture

An evocative image 

More terrain

Another few days work

I continue to plod through those trays which haven`t seen the light of day for ages.

Bellona vac-u-form bridge

Based and painted

Classic Airfix strong-point

The vac-u-form base had been crushed and need some serious repair, in the end I cut away some sections and re-based the whole thing adding more rubble; scatter and bits before repainting the whole thing. 

Refurbished buildings

Refurbished buildings

With the move to Spain and the room this will give me, I can now work my way through boxes and trays which frankly haven`t the light of day for many a year.

First up a bunch of resin ruins and a bunker from Village Green all at least 25yrs old.

Figures and car just to show size

Two storied town house and shed

 Command bunker

Tall ruin 

I expanded this with plaster and added all the sand bags and bits plus the partial upper floor 

Rubbish home-made (out of matchbox diorama bits) ruin

More terrain

More simple, basic terrain

I had a basic plan to build some simple road-side embankments (or river banks), spent a few days playing about.

Simple construction - based on hardboard (or CDs), various bits of polystyrene packaging, cheap plaster filler, cheap acrylic paints from The Works, railway flock - done. I also bought a box of trees from the local model shop and these push straight into the polystyrene (I may glue them in once these get to Spain)

After looking at these pics, I was thinking of by adding foliage and lichen you get quite cheap bocage??

Also built a few hillocks?

More piece awaiting trees
