More obstacles

   Five more obstacles for our WW2 games are ready! I used almost the same materials as the last time for my previous five obstacles. These materials are mdf, little rocks, sand, static grass, white glue, acrylic water based putty, red thread and some cotton buds.

Cotton buds

   I tied every three cotton buds together with red thread to make an obstacle. Then I glued them on the mdf bases, where I added the putty, the little rocks and the sand.

   I can say that I am very pleased because the boy that my wife and I baptised, follows the hobby of wargaming. You can see him below enjoy painting the awful goblin warriors of the "Escape from Goblin Town" box.

   That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!  

Terrain pieces: three village houses and a barn

    Three village houses and a barn are the last terrain pieces for my bolt action games. The materials I used are balsa wood, acrylic water based putty, little rocks, sand and static grass.

Terrain pieces: a hen house and a stockyard pen

    A very Happy New Year to all of you!

   I made two more terrain pieces for our Bolt Action games, a hen house and a stockyard pen. Generally, I try to avoid using gear from specific historical periods on my terrain, for example medieval weapons, modern car wheels, etc. This way the pieces I use are proper not only for WWII battles but for other wargame periods as well. 

   For both, the hen house and the stockyard pen, I used balsa wood, acrylic water based putty, little rocks, sand and static grass. Below you can see photos of the pieces before and after the painting, and also from our Bolt Action tabletop battles.
