Let's make ... 28mm WWII Winter Terrain for Bolt Action

[SisterMaryNapalm]

After I started working on my Soviet Russian girls, I soon noticed that I missed some usable terrain.

 

So it was time for me to start making some.

 

I checked my stuff and ... unfortunately I didn't have got any usable terrain. But I had some 28mm Warhammer 40k barrels and boxes. So ... what to do with those? ...

 

 

 

Luckily I am a person full of ideas and dreams and melancholy. So I remembered back in the days when I was young, I played a game called "Blitzkrieg".

 

"Blitzkrieg" was a lovely game using a lovely graphic engine for displaying things. And they had this wonderful supply depot, which I think would be perfect

 

 

 

First off I have have to prepare some boxes to later have a good foundation for the blanket.

 

 

... which ended in in looking like this:

 

 

 

 

 

Time to paint!

Applied the colours ...

 

 

... weathering and snow ...

 

 

 

... and we are done!

Very nice work on the supplies!

 

I hope there's a crate of winter clothing in it.

That supply dump turned out super great.

So what material did you make the tarp from?

I forgot to say it, did I?

 

It's a simple tissue. I cut off the patterened pieces, then covered it in slightly watered wood glue and put it over the crates.

Isn't "weathering and snow" a little redundant?  

 

Looks great!

Well, who knows where the equipment has been before. The snow is just the last stage of weathering. All the other stages and their peripheral matter (mud, dust and so on) are also part of the weathering. Therefore for me there is a difference

 

Thanks for the comment^^

And a farmhouse ... stable mixture. I don't know where this house is from. I bought it as a slightly damaged piece from a member of a German forum and repaired as well as repainted it. Then weathered it and finally applied some backing soda as snow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks good, I think. Very fitting!

looks good to me!    I like how you manage to keep a cohesive look to all of the terrain.

It's all the same snow variant, therefore :-D Haha - I am happy it fits. And I am happy you like it!

And an update here as well:

 

I got some old Warhammer Fantasy walls and some other as well - okay. not the best solution for WWII themed walls, but well ... they were cheap :-D

 

 

More to come.
