Here’s a little something that I knocked together whilst
waiting for the PVA/sand basing and undercoat to dry on my Fellowship mini’s. I
have a young family and as such a house filled with toys (not all of them are
mine!). Periodically my wife and I have a clear out of those items that are no longer
used or beyond their effective use, and a bunch of palm trees from some kind of
zoo animal set was bound for the bin. So rather than call the A-team I opted to
rescue them myself and filed them away as “potential scenery” for use at a
later date.
Well as I have a game planned against Phil’s 8th Army at the
club I thought it was time that my motorised DAK column had something to hide
behind so I bashed these together using some left over thick card, sand and
liberal use of spray paints.
They also feature the new tufts I purchased from Tajima1 on
eBay. Very nice products and great value (£5 ish for 100 tufts or so).
I’ll get some pics and do an AAR
of our game and post up later. Phil does have some lovely models (although I hate
his Matilda 2 as it guns down everything!).
Great stuff - always cool to salvage stuff from the toy cupboard!
ReplyDeleteToo true. They're often the most satisfying projects!
DeleteThey look great and even desert games need cover.
ReplyDeleteMy games do as my trucks tend to get blown to bits!
