Thought I'd show you the earthwork bastion I've just completed.
I've added a 'how to make' tutorial in the workbench area.
The figures are painted by Baner, rebased and lightly retouched by me. Flags, guns, scenery all by me.
Figures are Bicorne and Renegade. The guns are Bicorne and TAG.

Hi,

Absolutely beautiful! :o The minis and the bastion (of course!) look perfect!
Now, I swear I've seen the house in the background on ebay just a few days ago.. ???
-
Nice stuff. How exactly did you make those wicker things(forgot the name again)? I could use a decent way to make them.
-
Fantastic stuff Cap'n. :-* :-* :-*
A great piece of terrain with an excellent tutorial. 8)

Self-made bastion ???
-
Very, VERY nice. Needs some greenery though, don't you think? Weeds are remarkably hearty creatures, and withstand even the rigors of war, I would guess.
-
A great piece - love the gate especially. :)
I agree it could do with a little greenery especially on the outside face amongst the spikes. It just looks a little too bare - unless of course it has suffered a lot of enemy artillery fire!
-
looks great loved the tutorial as well
thanks..
-
Nice job! Tutorial is great, too. Beautiful figures.
I think it's a valid point about the vegetation. I don't imagine anyone took the time to remove the sods when they threw up the berms so there should at least be evidence of dead grass everywhere. It's not battle-damaged enough to have obliterated every trace of Mother Nature and, if this is used for ECW skirmishes, it's in rainy old England! It wouldn't take much for grass and weeds or moss to get started on all that lovely, loose, moist earth.

Very very nice!
miniatures are very colorful and it is perfect!
-
OOh nopw that is very nnice. I like all the small details like the gabions and the gateway. Awesome job Sir. ;D :-*
-
Absolutely marvellous, sir! Love the way the miniatures blend into the scenery. The bastion could be a gaming board in its own right. Hope to see a battle report next.
Besides, many thanks for your tutorials. Full of inspiration and practicable hints.

Yes, you could do a "Glory"-type assault on the bastion. Do they do a miniature Matthew Broderick in ECW Colonels' uniform ???

Looks soooo good with the minis on too fantastic and thanks for the tutorial :D

Thanks so much - the terrain is great, but it's always so much better when you can see the work behind it.

Thanks chaps for kind comments. I think you are probably right, it needs a bit of weed or grass or summat. Couldn't quite make my mind up about that, but think I'll go with the consensus view! ;)
How exactly did you make those wicker things(forgot the name again)? I could use a decent way to make them.
They are called gabions - basically, ruddy great baskets packed with earth: very good at absorbing flying bullets and even cannon balls. These are metal ones made by The Assault Group, but lots of people make them in resin as well...
Now, I swear I've seen the house in the background on ebay just a few days ago.. ???
Yes, those buildings are by PMC Games / Sellthatstuffboy, who formerly owned Total System Scenic, but now trade exclusively through eBay. Not very detailed, but a solid, fast (and relatively cheap) source of instant villages...

Ah, oh yeah! Thanks for clearing that up. :)

It is indeed very nice. A work that makes you to start other eras!
Outstanding job!
