While I have been still coughing and spluttering with the winter lurgy - which has made it hard to paint detail stuff - I have managed to progress on terrain building . I have left my permanent table (8x4)with the Ardennes set up on it and have started adding more to it . This last week has seen hedges , rail fences , frozen pond , icy patches , and banks of mist and fog ( yeah !)
20 feet of hedges initially
It really doesn’t go that far - will need another 12 I think at some point
12 feet of rail fencing added - with another 12 of wire type. To be completed
Frozen pond - MDF base , built up sides, green paint , varnish , Matt varnish and tufts
Icy patches . I used an empty laminate pouch - heated up and cut to shape and given a light overspray of Matt varnish .Then added some of my home made tufts
Mist / Fog. I had a bag of cushion filler from the local haberdashers (yes we do have one! )
It was scrunched up / twisted and given a grey spray - then repeat a few times . I like it and I think more will be made.
The table is coming together . More terrain bits to add still :-
Wire Fences
A stream and bridge
Power and telegraph poles
Gardens baseboard for the buildings
Fuel dumps - a perfect objective marker.
I have added a new Panther for my Panzer Lehr force
I have also just ordered some rear echelon US stuff . Ambulances , Signals truck , to add to forces .
I am enjoying doing this one - another long term itch scratched.
