I was having a rummage through my boxes of gaming stuff as I do now and then. It is cool when you find something you have hoarded away that you have completely forgotten about.  I found this piece of resin scenery that I must have bought at least twenty years ago. I think it is about time I actually did something with it. |

Taken it out of the box. It looks a little on the small side but I think it might still work.

That's the sort of place I could see the 95th Rifles defending, as the blue coated froggies throw themselves at the walls (Just like in Sharpe's Havoc!)

I pictured it for the Napoleonics then thought it could be used for WWII as well. Looking alright so far.  |

Just varnished. Quite pleased with the way it turned out.  |

Looks good. You going to be able to put a table together for a game tomorrow just with new stuff?

Not quite. Got a bit of a scenery thing going on at the moment. Another couple of stands of trees in the pipeline.

Hi Steve,
I am thinking of making up some road sections like your ones. I really liked the look of the ones you had made for the last club meeting. I am hoping you might be able to give me the measurements for them, so I could make mine up to match yours. That way if need be we could potentially join them together.

The straight roads are 30cm long and, more important, 8cm wide.
I am thinking of making some more with a less coarse surface, no grass edges and in brown. That way I will be able to use them on both my grass mat and winter table.

I cannot remember :-( but it did look quite substantial. |

It is 4mm mdf. Don't have any more of that so the newer ones are going to be 3mm. Just 1mm difference isn't really going to be noticed.
I remember that ages ago you said you wanted to work on Stalingrad themed scenery. Did you get anywhere with that?

I am ashamed to say I have not progressed very far at all with my Stalingrad themed terrain. I am hoping to get a little done each week but finding the time to achieve this goal is often difficult. I really like the tables that you and Scott put together they really look beautiful and make the games much more interesting to watch. I certainly aspire to bring something similar along to the club one day soonish :-) |
