Today's task was to clean up my gaming area and begin to organize the ever-growing lead pile. Well, to be honest, the ever growing lead, resin and plastic pile. I decided once the clean up was done to build some 28mm terrain - namely Architects of War's Stone Wall and Forest sets. These are nice little kits to work with and went from in-the-box to done in about three hours.
The stone wall set consists of four 9 inch straight pieces and two small ends. I primed everything in a light grey auto primer and dry brushed a darker shade of grey for highlighting. Add some ground foam and it's done. I think they came out nicely.
Next up was a set of 4 tree stands - this is a nifty way to make a forrest and works with both 15mm and 28mm scale figures. The product comes with resin base and pre-made Woodland Scenics trees. It's a simple but very effective way to build decent tree scenery.
The "completed" forrest. I've got another of these sets to finish which will provide a nice sized forrest for my War of 1812 through ACW gaming. Like the walls, these were a snap to both assemble and paint. The resin bases have lots of details in the undergrowth.
Last, but not least, I also assembled the Architects of War Meeting House/Church kit. This kit is a bit more involved as it has a fully detailed interior but it will make a fine North American themed focal point for an upcoming battle.
All in all, it was a productive day. And my Saints won and are now 3-0 - yes it was a very good day indeed!
This blog will will contain my rather pedantic ramblings on my experiences within the miniature war gaming hobby. There will be informative how-to’s, thrilling battle reports and thought provoking editorials. I fully expect that history will one day view the contents of this blog on par with Homer’s Illiad or Newton’s Principalia. Or it's a complete waste of time.
