Title: a Normandy '44 project...
Post by: dflament on 14 March 2017, 07:09:08 PM
Something i wanted to do for a long, long time was buy me some decent 28mm scenery and just made a good looking, modular table to play some fun games on.

All is WIP, still more to be added like farm animals, more fields and some more houses. trying to avoid the typical Bocage hedgerows and I'm constantly updating and trying new lay-outs. Also in the pipeline is a small town centre.

You're off to a good start.  Where are your roads from?

Thanks all!

You're off to a good start.  Where are your roads from?

The roads are rubber ones from early war miniatures

Thanks, I thought they might be (I've just been looking at them on their website). Would you recommend them?

I like your terrain.
Also some fine painting on your WWII airborne figures,
that are on your blog.

they're very modular but you can't beat resin ones if you want quality...

Very nice, I am just thinking about the same thing - love the paint job on your Puma.

It's looking good  :)
Elk101 - I have also bought the EWM latex roads. They're very nice. They are designed for 20mm but I use with 28mm, which is fine as I'm doing narrow village streets rather than Unter den Linden!

Where did you get your haystacks?  Those look pretty good.

As does everything else - I do admit though, I like me some bocage.

Nice and simple setup. You'd gain a million if you broke up the uniformity of the grass mat. But hey - it works.  :D
