These days most of my games are on an urban landscape but my barricades were not themed appropriately so I had an excuse to build some terrain (not that I need an excuse)

Thanks. Pretty simple making the struts actually. Take a bit of balsawood and cut into lengths of about 3cm. Where the pieces cross you indent both and fix with a drop of wood glue. The bottom ends were trimmed at a 45 degree angle to facilitate mounting on the base where one end was pinned for stability.

Lovely work Severian. Quick question for you, how did you go about basing (plain sand?), and then painting it (colours?)?

Thanks mate. Painted the base with watered down wood glue and sprinkled on some fine sand. When that was dry glued on a bit of gravel. Spray painted it black then a light drybrush of grey a few touches of green and brown, drybrush with bleached bone and lastly drybrush white until you are happy with the texture.

I did an article for a local Fanzine called The Southlander on these - if you are interested have a look at http://the-southlander.deviantart.com/
