A minefield section in Bolt Action is a 6" x 6" square area. Larger minefields can be made by placing two or more of these sections next to each other.
I made four 6" by 6" square minefields. I used mdf, putty, little stones, sand, an old sprue, green stuff and twenty eight buttons!
First, I cut twenty eight slices from an old sprue.
Then I used green stuff to stick the sprue slices on the buttons.
Like that, my mines were ready!
I cut four mdf squares, scored their surfaces and glued some little stones on them.
Then I covered them with putty and placed randomly the mines-buttons. I also added sand.
Since we will use them for our Western Desert campaign, I painted the ground Desert Yellow, the stones German Cam. Pale Brown, the mines Gumetal and highlighted everything with Iraqi Sand.
The four minefields
For the signs I used pieces of the old sprue and 25mm square bases. I cut three of the bases in half.
I found in internet some minefield warnings of the WW2 in three languages English, German and Italian. I printed, laminated and stuck them on the bases and the signs were ready!
The signs
in German,
Italian
and English
That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!
