Here are some classical ruins, I've had a pair of wooden columns and mouldings left over from a job for about 30 years, I thought I'd make use of them together with some chunky balsa and some plastic sheet I've had for 40 plus years. I've cut the columns into three and stuck them down to some discarded CDs, added the architrave moulding to the balsa and then pva ,sand and grit.
Good for Italian Wars ( The forum in Rome for the seige 1527?), ancients of course ( maybe inspired by my relatively recent trip to Greece?), maybe Napoleonic but mainly I was thinking of remnants of empire with my timber framed dark age buildings in the ruins .
Up next more terrain, more Napoleonics, more dark ages, any combination of the above!
All the best

Nice idea Iain! Another option is Sicily and Southern Italy) or even Libya/Tunisia in WWII.

Thanks Chris, yes anywhere around the Mediterranean I think would work, tempted by WW2 Sicily/Italy but would have to start at least two new armies!

Excellent work there Iain:)! Aside from the Classical period, they could be ruins in Crete or North Africa, or simply a Folly in the countryside here or overseas.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, yes useful all over Europe for different periods I think?

They look great, and as others pointed out, very versatile! Yeah, my first thought was some of the scenes from the Patton movie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fitz!

The stone colours you have used look like some of the best I have ever seen. Beautifully done Iain.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, I remember years ago you liking a stone church they're actually the same pots of emulsion!

Iain, very evocative, looks like your thoughts percolated and manifested themselves to open a moment in time. No doubt you'll get them on the table soon. Could even be urban if playing post apocalyptic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe,I think they're pretty flexible bits of scenery?

Great stuff again Iain, well worth waiting 40 years for!!
ReplyDeleteI have been collecting the inner cardboard roll from our automated hand towel dispenser at work...think extra strong toilet roll inners about 25 to 30cm in length and 6 to 8 cm diameter...I think I can use them for a scaled down representation of the Brandenburg Gate or something similar....one day!
Brandenburg Gate? Now you're talking! Berlin after Stalingrad?

DeleteBest Iain
