Title: Farming and Barricades on the Frontier
Post by: Eric the Shed on October 08, 2012, 11:41:27 PM

Having completed the fort I turned my attention this weekend to some other bits of terrain for my French Indian War scenarios.

1. Farmsteads need fields - so a maize field was built

2. Soldiers need barricades, loggers work in the forest so put these together from all the bamboo skewer off cuts.

I like the maize but I think a coat of matt varnish would be an idea  :)

cheers

It depends on the time of day. Early in the morning or at dusk when the dew has fallen corn looks shiney like that. Otherwise a coat of matte wouldn't go amiss. :)

Superb job on both the corn and the barricades, Eric! :)
