Progress of a sort..

 ...with Bikelheim over the last few days. I recently received another package from LaserArtCraft. Amongst the new MDF kits was a fourth German house and a pack of bases for three terrace houses. Tatting about, as you do, I realised the terrace bases would also fit the rural houses and leave a little space for some simple scenic effects. Here they are ~




So far I've added some simple hedges from green pan scourer and given the open ground a coat of GW Steel Legion Drab. Tomorrow I'll do a little more to the bases.

  2. Progress indeed. The scaling works well with the modern tank (which I know are meatier than their WWII younger brothers.

  3. All progress is good David and the BUA's are looking good already. It's always tricky to know how far to go with adding scenic details without them impacting on troop placement etc. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    1. A few weeds I think, patches of grass, a small tree perhaps.

  4. Nicely done, I just find it easier to store stuff that is separate. But bases always look nice 👍
