So I finally finished the last remaining roof for my Italian wars/ Mediterranean buildings , a surprising amount of offering up and cutting especially as I didn't have enough to do each side but done now, in a darker colour than the first batch but that's alright I think. ( in spite of one side being upside down!)
In addition I've built some scatter terrain for bolt action to go inside a factory, I'm building the doorway and windows as separate ruins so that I can adjust the size and store them easier. They are as usual an eclectic mix of tamiya 1/35 wehrmacht kitchen wagons, I thought they looked vaguely industrial, I'm thinking no roof rain, so rust and a bit of greenery . Plus some sort of toy grain store I'm using as a kind of water tank. A gas fitting that I thought looked chunky and industrial in this scale? Finally a couple of bases with oil drims and broken bits of mdf sprues. There's various 1/35 and 1/72 bits strewn all over the bases which are spare mighty empire bases that I have a pile of, this post clearly proves hanging onto things for decades is a good thing, right Stew?
Bolt action Soviets for scale, next up Terrain? Napoleonics? Napoleonic terrain? Once more thanks Dave for clearing more stuff out with your season of scenery and clearly I work best with a deadline!
All the best

Great looking terrain Iain. Really like that panelled roof
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter, glad to finally get it done!

Excellent terrain work! Your industrial pieces are especially gritty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, oh good, yes a tad grimy too?
DeleteBest Iain
On a roll with some great terrain pieces Iain. The Italian Wars building is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Lawrence, yes terrain thick and fast!
DeleteBest Iain
Great building and terrain!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Cyrus!
DeleteBest Iain
Oh, what a lot of terrain! The Italian building looks specially appealing to me, quite a sweet job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber, yes a mix of terrain, I thought the industrial pieces were a bit 40k? Maybe because they're both grim and dark!

The textures / dry brushing on the Mediterranean house are spot on, combined with the tiles roof, this has a lovely presence. The scatter build to go inside another building is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t fully grasp the bit about effective storage with the doors and windows, will the building be in segments, such as 4 corners?
Thanks Norm, I wasn't especially clear was I?! I intend the doors , windows and corners to be separate pieces so I can build a tractor factory or a much smaller industrial building and keep it all in a smallish box, that's the plan, let's see if it survives contact with the enemy!
DeleteBest Iain
It looks even better all together!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much SD!

Those scatter pieces are just smashing! They fit just fine with 28mm too. Very nicely done mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai , glad you like them, thunk they'll block line of sight well!

Great stuff Iain! The Italian building is 👍 and the factory detritus is A1.

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Richard!

Excellent work on that building Iain, which looks really nice and too easy to get the roof tiles the wrong way up! Love the industrial terrain items, especially the gas fighting that look svery effective and suitable industrial. I'll have to keep an eye out for similar items suitable for my 10mm games:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, I realised too late and by then I wasn't going to change it, yes it's fun finding odd things to make into terrain!
DeleteBest Iain
The building looks spectacular Iain, and their tiles are obviously newer hence the different colour ! LOL The scatter terrain looks excellent, and will make a very thematic area to fight over.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, actually I think these are the older tiles! Glad you like the scatter terrain probably usable in Stargrave which the group has discussed!
DeleteBest Iain
Eclectic and first rate executtern. I can almost certainly make out the village now. The scatter terrains will be useful as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, I know what you mean!
DeleteBest Iain
Execution. Stupid spell check.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to clarify!
DeleteBest Iain
That's a great looking building Iain. Love the scatter terrain pieces as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks on both counts Ray!
DeleteBest Iain
Everything looks really great. Nice job clearly having a deadline is key. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew, seems to work for me!
DeleteBest Iain
I seem to have missed this post somehow - more excellent building work here Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, easily done!
DeleteBest Iain
Lovely work on the building and terrain pieces Iain.
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thanks very much Aly!

I'm literally just dipping my toe into the Italian Wars and thought your building was absolutely awesome. Cracking work, Iain, absolutely cracking. The factory terrain is also top notch, and would look awesome on a Stalingrad or any such WW2 tabletop. Very jealous of your output during this Season of Scenery - both quantity and quality. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon , looking forward to seeing your Italian wars stuff! Dave's challenge has been really helpful in pushing along lot's of partially built projects to completion!
DeleteBest Iain
Wonderful looking building, I do like pantile buildings.
ReplyDeleteYour scatter terrain looks great and could be used in a variety of genres too -your output of terrain is staggering to me.
Thanks Joe, yes I think I could use the scatter terrain in sci fi as well as ww2, always a bonus!
