World War 2 - 15mm Project - Part 2 - Scenery

Having purchased two opposing 15mm WW2 forces, I knew I would have to pick up a few bits of scenery as although I had a few trees, hedges and hills, the only 15mm buildings I owned were not really suitable. Not wanting to spend a fortune I found a load of cheap resin(£2-5) buildings on E-bay and a few MDF kits.


These two ruined MDF shops cost £5 on E-bay:

The resin buildings from E-bay:

Roadblock/Barricade from Peter Pig:

Whilst a have a few really nice trees saved from my (now sold) 20mm WW2 project, it wasn't really enough, so back to E-bay for a load of cheap Chinese trees which I chopped up a bit for some variation, once based they look ok:

 

After playing a big game of Bolt Action on a 6x4ft table, I realised I needed more buildings, so I picked these two lovely MDF buildings up

 

And this smaller building too(which was the same price as the larger), I must say this kit was a bit disappointing(all the other MDF kits went together fine and I would recommend them) and did not fit together very well or meet my expectations size-wise, in fact I nearly binned it half way through and I will probably turn it into to a ruin at some point.

 

Finally, I bought some Timecast fences and walls, having bought the same sets in 6mm, I knew they would be nice: 

 

I realised I needed to base the gate after setting up this picture, so I got my 5 year old daughter to do it whilst I was doing something else:

I should have the last of my 15mm Sci-Fi colony buildings done in the next few days as I'm just slapping it on now as I'm sick of seeing them on my desk.

Odds & Ends (10) - Miscellaneous Scenics - (6mm)

I am trying to clear my paint schedule so I can concentrate on both my Epic stuff and the few bits of 15mm stuff I have, some of these buildings and scenic's have been hanging around for a while now so I decided to crack on and get them finished:

First up a couple of lovely buildings from Leven:

 

 

 

Some magical standing stones from some spare bits of modelling putty I had left over from my sea-bases:

 



Not sure who makes these, I was given them by a friend, but he hut will be usable in both my fantasy and dark ages games, and the adobe buildings can work for my planned Old West project and Sci-Fi:

 

 

I couldn't resist picking these up at Vapnartak, 5 for £2.50, Allotments/gardens from Timecast:

 

 



 



 

And finally having acquired a load of scenic tufts at Vapnartak, I went back to my Dead Marshes piece and added some reed-like tufts and some flowers which does finish it off quite nicely.

 

I am engrossed in 15mm Sci-fi at the moment and that will probably be the subject of my next post.
