One of the reasons being that i want to get some terrain to take decent pics in like ding dang digidy Digits does (what alliteration) The other being no one comments in my project log, maybe theres a reason but hey/ And the final reason being that during heavy revision and coursework mode slicing 'n dicing something (that you can imagine as a teacher) with a stanley blade is scarily relaxing. So without further ado this is what ive got so far this was gonna be my comedy compo entry base till real life reared its hideously deformed head (needs static grass) then i got all inspired and in true catachan/vietnam spirit PUNJI stakes but with a 40k twist homemade razorwire i cant be the only one who does this but i could tell y'all if iam. Anywho something to look at please post J5 Edit; the first pic looks shiite but there are loads of layers i swear and yeh the pics where taken out side on a chair (GYPO!!!) i know Edited by Jonny5, 27 Apr 2009, 08:20 PM.

I agree that some static grass is needed, though - it's a bit bare right now. Second one I like, barbed wire is always a hit (fairly easy to make, even) and the barricade thing looks good. I'm not entirely certain if that's a real flower you've used, but if it is, you might want to give it a healthy dose of purity seal or something - don't want it rotting! And yeah, the pics of your figures do look better when they stand in terrain. Maybe I should do something similar...

I realised that the best thing is to start with is the base board so using my brothers spraygun within two days i had myself a 4x 3.5 foot board job done. I have no pic of the board itself as i could get a decent one so here is one to show what its general affect is. I then set about making some terrain i got these two done remarkably quick and they look great imo. Next up i bought one of the gw kits and set about it. Its pretty standard but i just wanted to test them out before buying the sector box Using the bits left over i made this little barricade which im quite fond of i have also made some smaller pieces with the trees that i bought these will come later. But for the moment the simplicity of painting the city boards has one me over. My recipe at the moment is -black undercoat -grey coat (roughly codex grey tone) -homemade black wash as rough as you like For the buildings however i have bought some metallic sprays.., who knows Terrah for now J5
