SCW scenery

As I impatiently await orders for the next batch of figures, I decided it would be an opportune time to think of scenery. As I rummaged around in my wargames shed I came across 3 old foamcore buildings that I had put together. I was never really happy with them, but they did have pantile roofs. So a simple addition of bases, some walls and an extension, I had 3 servicable buildings. Quick re-paint and done. Still not happy with the windows but will look ok on the tabletop. 

This then got me thinking about a couple of spare adobe buildings I had spare, so walls and extensions were added to these with watered down polyfilla used to texture the walls.

This was followed by a grey undercoated and then a light terracotta painted over. Once dry the whole model was drybrushed with a Buff yellow. The roof was then done in a dark red.

The base was then covered in sand and sealed with an oak woodstain. Once dry it was given a light buff drybrush and small areas of static grass added.

Very happy with how they have turned out. Now as glam as some of the commercial kits you can get theses days, but servicable and cheap to produce.

Here is the whole collection when I has a practice run of some homespun rules.

Thankfully my 1st order has arrived so back to painting figures this weekend.
