but if they are as big as I hope then I think there's two main advantages: 1: durability and 2: storage as i suspect they're hollow so you can stack them W/O too much trouble.
Cheers! :)

Come to think of it I guess you get the two halves shown in the pic. ... They also look a lot like the ones included in the BOFA boxed game. If so they have an excellent size...
Cheers!

Quote (blackhorizon @ 03 Jan. 2006 (08:13)) As a starter you should do the Brown ones. It's a middle colour, you could expand to forest or to city.
Maybe I wasn't that clear.
I have built ALL of the terrain maps I mentioned in my post! |
Haha, maybe I wasn't that clear, but my answer on wich board should be done was directed at Black Legion!
I truly believe you builded all these things!

Cheers!  | Come come Warmaster, this is heretical talk for a great modelmaker such as yourself!
Prepared to pay ?15 for two unexciting plastic hills when you could build some bigger, better, more natural looking ones for about ?1?!!
I agree with you on the storage issue (if they stack that is?), but otherwise, your arguement is on shaky ground....
I agree with Maksim here- just get them on a decent base (MDF is my personal preference), and paint them with a few thick tough coats, and you'll have no problems...
*** Stormy, How did you get the snowy look on your evergreen trees? *** |
Now I REALLY need to do an Incoming! article on the whole lot- but this a quick and easy question to answer. Very simply Maksim; all I do is stick a load of them in some spare foam offcuts so I can hold them, then get out a reasonably sized brush and some cheap white primer, and carefully brush down from the top to the bottom, to get a 'snowladen' effect.
This lets me get loads done at once, and makes these rather cheap & cheerful -(25p each and horribly shiney and unrealistic when unpainted)- little trees look really natural and effective.
Cheers, ~G
