I have decided that I don't have enough pieces like Anvil Gate:![]() ![]() So I am going to make a pretty terrain piece using the Badlands Compound. Whilst it will be smaller I will still try to get it packed with nice little touches and details. First of all I have a nice steel base to mount it on thanks to PRECISION WARGAMES SUPPLIES LTD ( http://www.freewebs.com/pwsltd/ ) Next thing is to stick it down and hide the hairline gaps between the resin model and the steel base. I am using Windsor and Newton Sand Texture Gel. ![]() I apply this using a brush. ![]() ![]() It is nice and easy to use and gives quite a fine finish compared to Vallejo White Pumice which I use on my infantry bases. ![]() Then I do some work on the inside with some traffic patterns, so you can see that the interior is churned up and has gooves from people and vehicles moving around in there. ![]() Then the outside. The edges of the base will be flocked to match the table so the gel is not applied right to the edges. ![]()

looking good AB......why a steel base? is it because 6mm is pretty light weight? so it gives some weight to the models? the more and more i look at your stuff AB, the more 6mm calls out to me!....cheers AL Edited by london1662, Nov 5 2014, 07:38 PM.

No matter how much glue and paint and crud you use, a steel base is thin and wont warp.![]() Buy some 6mm, you can play some great games with great terrain for little money in a small space! |

I used to work in a metal shop, and I'd use the shears to make bases out of Stainless Steel on my lunch hour. Wish I still had access to it |

Just a small update. Seeing as this model is based and it does not need to be taken apart for storage I have filled in the hairline gaps between the buildings and the rear wall. I have used a couple of coats of liquid green stuff. It is the same stuff I used to make the texture of the walls so it blends in well. ![]() ![]() Then paint it up so it is less green! ![]() ![]() Next up I am making some small sacks to go on a roof, plus there will be a ladder and a Soper generator. |

As promised, a soper generator, some small sacks on the roof and also a ladder and some defensive bags around the gate. The base coat for the ground is a B&Q sample pot of ‘clay’ coloured paint. ![]() The ground has been washed in my multipurpose Coat d’Arms Super Wash dark Brown (117). ![]() This will be drybrushed later. I have made some sacks of supplies and put those on the roof, only partially painted for now. I have added a Soper generator, after all we need juice! I have also used an N scale train ladder to aid with getting on the roof quick sharp. ![]() I decided after some pondering to add a sandbag defence area out the front. ![]() I used an old mould I no longer cast up and sell from, and sanded off the base until I was left with the bags only. I will add some stuff to this like a chair and an MG of some sort, maybe a sign? I am planning on a few solar panels to go on the roof, and a washing line with some stuff on it drying in the lovely sunshine!
