Oh I do love a fresh target in the morning.
Well done with the vehicles.

Are they resin Pete?  If so, I’d be petrified of snapping of the tank barrels!  :(

Is there much detailing on the barrrel or can they be replaced with pins?

I was very worried they would be resin & I would have to
replace all the barrels with pins or wire. It turns out that it is
more like Nylon, so has a certain degree of flexibility.
Just as well because getting them off their sprue (scaffolding?)
was not conducive to calming my nerves.

Using up some odd off-cuts of blue foam.
First a tower for my 15mm Sci-Fi

The other bit of blue foam, which is now another Galactic Heroes hut.
When lock down finishes look for pictures of them being used.

Great use of pieces that would otherwise end up at the tip.

I love the way you have made them look stressed and weathered. Much of my own scratchbuilding is far too neat and tidy.

Thanks PhilB, a lot of the distress, as I am using bits that were scrapped, is
already done. I could make them neat, but that would be more work, & I
have taken the line of least resistance (work). My 'supply' is from our school's
DT dept. what I get are the throw-away off-cuts. Some of the bits are so small that they are
really only good for making bricks. Those are useful for debris & making your own
brick built buildings. I have made ONE of the latter & am now of the opinion
that it is the road to madness. All praise to those (several on LAF) who do it'
often to spectacular effect.

'Waste not, want not' my father used to say, well I had a pot of the ends
cut off from coffee stirrers. These were the curved ends, which were not needed
when I decked:- Cleopatra (African Queen), Mary Rose (I expect to sink on
its first outing) & two barges.
Inspired by one of our groups recent fence building, I made these bits up.

Thanks Codsticker.
I aim to use them in the following games:-
Western, ACW, Gangsters, VBCW, Pulp, WW2 , Zombie & Modern,
so should get a lot of use out of some old stirrers.

Yes, picket fences are very versatile pieces of table dressing.
