10mm AWI/FIW blockhouse

[OSHIROmodels]

I was recently asked to make a 10mm blockhouse for early American gaming (AWI/FIW) for a very nice chap on this here very forum (in return for a few goodies  ) and I fnished it Wednesday but I've only got round to posting today 

It went a bit bigger than I first thought (as these things always seem to do) but I think the end result has worked out well.

I haven't got any 10mm figures that would suit but it's on a base about 150mm by 100mm. There will be a bigger write up on my blog at the weekend (limited posting time tonight  )







Any c+c appreciated 

cheers

well, i have to say that i love it! First of all i like the base: even if i'm not a fan of the scatter grass (or however it's called), i like the final look. The fence made from toothpicks is simple but well formed, and the stones are really realistic: how did you do them?

My only suggestion for the next projects is to use a different material for the base: don't know wich one, but this one looks too thick (for a 10mm it is a huge step!) and easy to bend-warp in the time!

great work, as your usual!

Thanks chaps 

@ Sangennaru - At this scale it's quite difficult to get decent looking ground work but I think it does the job  The base is out of 3mm MDF, if I were to do it again I'd probably make it from thin perspex. Most of the other small stuff I do is from Perspex but I had this to hand and was pretty much the right size

shame the base hides the wonderful wooden platform - lovely otherwise
