More terrain for battle of Narwa gam






The battle of Narwa game a friend and i ("friend" is a bit strong more someone i haven't manged to  shake off.lol) are putting on needed a big hill for the Germans to use as a HQ.It's hard in the pictures to get a sense of how big this piece is but one of the photos has a king tiger in it for scale.

Made from 3 polystyrene sheets pva glued together,then hacked about until hill shaped,with ployfiller/sand mix spread as a road surface.
      The pitted rough area's on the corner was  created by spraying it with battlefront spray paint which starts to eat the polystyrene away (i don't wish to talk about how i found this out many years ago,it was a sad day and i have moved on) when it eats enough away that you think looks good press a very wet towel onto it which will stop the paint eating away anymore of the polystyrene.
Painted using americano paints cinnamon brown adding more and more light grey for highlights.

Disposable Heroes





First of my Canadian  platoons for Disposable heroes rule set.As you can see not based yet but i was waiting for postie to deliver the bren team ,which i hope to paint and base all NEXT weekend.
(Not this weekend because of  http://www.sdean-forum.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29148 )
I used the Battlefront painting guide for all the basic colours and as these need more highlights than the 15mm guides are for i just added light tan to all colours.The steel/metal work is may own mix as i have never been happy with drybrushing silver over black.My mix is vallejo oily steel mixed with vallejo black grey 50/50 the washed with GW devlan mud.
