Tents

Made these tents for What a Cowboy and any RPGs.  28mm.

I plan to add a little storm lantern to the front spar on the large one.

Simple build with bits of linen over folded heavy card, cocktail sticks and brown felt for the blankets.

Then some weathering with a little brown wash.

Washing line

Even in the wild west, someone was doing the washing!
made this for the little farm buildings I'm making, to give them some flavour and even cover.

Cutting the items out from 'wet-wipe' material was a nightmare, but it came out 'ok' I think.
I tried to give them some colour, with a light ink wash, but soon realised that the wash wouldn't 'take' where the glue had dried. Never mind, good enough for some fun scatter terrain :-)

Dead Trees

Cheap 3d prints from Temu again.
They needed a wash to remove oils, and I drilled them from underneath and glued into the holes some old lead fishing shot. This gave them some weight to stop them moving around on the tabletop.

Simple prime, basecoat and several different dry brushes gave a decent enough result.
Will be good for lots if different games.

Ruins

Found these on the Chinese website Temu.  3d printed, quality is 'ok', but not amazing.  However they were just a few quid, and came out rather nicely.

Primed white. Heavy wash with DIY black wash. Lots of moss and plants. Done :-)

Castle Ruins

 

Another cheap buy from Temu. 3d Print is 'good enough'.
Another wash with my DIY  'Nuln oil'  and lots of careful plants added.  Looks far better than it has any right to !

Well well well.

Well, its only one well, actually.

A little 3d print I made myself in a 3d design program.  Fun to do but very time consuming.  New respect for designers. 
Paint job came out 'well' enough for the table...(sorry).

Campfire

Great fun attempting this.  Small stones, tiny twigs, just glued into place on a 25mm base.
The fun part was looking at images of fire and trying to get the black wood, inner glow, reflected light, and flames all correct.

I think it came out ok.  

3d Printed Rocks

Got some 3d prints of more rock formations.  Primarily for "What a Cowboy" games, but again can be for anything.
The low res printing meant some obvious striation lines, but a 50/50 mix of Modge Podge and Black paint heavily painted took out the worst of them. 
Once dried, a heavy grey drybrush finished them off for some quick and easy rocks :-)

Shingle Berms

At Omaha Beach, the troops managed to get a small amount of cover from the "Shingle Berms" that occured naturally on the beach.
I belive there was a main one just below the main German defence bunkers.
I made x8 to represent this on beach assault tables.  Its mainly just representative, so could work for 15 or 28mm I guess.

Made these with a rough carboard 'mold' of sorts.  Took a while to dry but are very solid. 

Hedges

 Some more hedges I made a while back. Made x4 of these. Came out nice.
 Scouring pads on large lolly sticks with flock :-)

Rocks

I wanted to make some rocks for ages.
Playing What a Cowboy finally pushed me to do it, but rather than the pale khaki desert colours, I plan to do them light greys, so I can use them for more varied games.

The process...

Cutting and shaping the foam scraps

Getting them glued up and based.

Stone circle for RPGs perhaps?

Sealed with ModgePodge then gravel based

Heavy coat all over with 50/50 mix of ModgePodge and black paint.

Half way through Dry Brushing.  Nice to see the difference.

Drybrushing all finished. Just going to add some dead grass tufts.

All done.  Happy with these. Made more than shown here (13 in total).

Ruins

Made a couple of these Ruins for 40k and modern games.  Cut from thin plywood and sprayed up with a little gravel added, they are simple but effective.

Hedges

Made some basic 2d hedges from mdf sheet.  The idea was to have some more 'soft' cover for games like Asymmetric Warfare. 

Quite basic but fun to make and great to throw down some fast extras.

Church

A 15mm scale Church for Flames of War. 3d Printed by a mate of mine. Ive finally had time to paint it during this Coronavirus Lockdown.

Cleaned up and stuck down.

Based in black

Heavy drybrushed in dark grey

Basing material down

Lighter cream / grey drybrushing of edges

Roof beams painted and "burnt" and last basing static grass added.

Defensive position

Some old board, a carboard tube, gravel and some sticks and wire made up this little gravel defence position for 28mm battles.

Grave Stones

Got some little resin head stones from a show the other day. Painted them up and mounted them on lolly sticks.
Look good and will go well with my Nighthaunt army for Age of Sigmar.

X-wing Asteroids

Made some Asteroids for a mate who plays X-wing :-)

Started with a cheap car sponge, which I then picked apart into 6 rocky shapes.

 

 Then I drenched them in grey paint.....

 .....and left them to dry.

 Then some dry brushing with some white to pick out the high edges...

 Cut our some wood shapes roughly matched to the 'droids themselves

Then I glued in some dowels, painted all the wood black, and glued the lot together.
Oh and I gave them a spray with cheap strong hairspray to try and give them some resilience to being played with. :-)

Flames of war. Minefields

As part of my German defences, heres some minefields  made.

Fiber Board. Cut to size.  Cheap Filler, molded into little craters.

Whole lot painted brown.

Static grass added. Little plastic discs added.

These were cut from some plasti-card with a hole punch, glued on then brushed with a little silver.

Gravel effect sand glued onto craters to create blown earth.

 Then washed with a little brown ink.

Im now considering some logs and bushes, but not convinced yet.
