Title: Experimental 1:72 scale African hut master
Post by: apj on 27 June 2011, 11:56:52 PM

Hi friends,

I needed some typical African terrain for my 1:72 AK47 Republic games, so I commisioned some with my good friend from Black Grom Studio. Just received pictures of the first of 1:72 scale terrain master of an african hut. Roof and bottom are separate. There will be several variants of the bottom and a few different roofs types also [corrugated metal sheeting for post apoc gaming ?]
Planning on casting in resin and/or ultra hard dental plaster.

Comparison of hut with popular miniatures. From left to right:
Heroic scale GW Goblin, 2 x Pole Bitwy 15mm [17.5mm] miniatures, A Rebel Minis 15mm figure and a 1:72 plastic soldier from Revell.

Comments and ideas welcome ;)

 A small update. Received some preliminary resin castings of the first hut including some elements of other buildings [like the steps in the photos]. The granary and additional buildings / objects will be available soon.

Have to agree. Not easy to find central and southern africa scenics.
