Meanwhile the other non wargaming 'project' (the 1/24th Spitfire)
Some close ups, to show just how far I have yet to go  :-[

True Codsticker  :) But I have to keep telling myself two things.
1) Whatever it ends up looking like, will be an improvement  :D
2) stop looking closely at it. Imagine a blind man on a horse
    galloping past, would he notice the faults?  lol lol lol

Vodkafan & I are going to do a challenge (hopefully a series
of challenges) in 2022. The aim is to transfer unusable projects
into usable wargames. As the agreed 'sweet-spot' is 60 figures,
each (?) challenge will see each of us doing 60 figs in 6 weeks.
i.e. an average of 10 a week, or 2 a day & weekends off  :D

The first is to be Jacobites. Due to various events (see much earlier
on this thread) We already have a Government Army, just no
hairy bothered Scots to face them. It is to be hoped that by the end of
challenge No.1 we will have (at least) 120 !
We both have until 1st Feb. to 'Clear the Decks' of ongoing items.
Hence the following pictures.
Some Alien plants & trees.

In 2020 I hope to reduce the vast stack of tubs & boxes
which, over the years, I have filled with 'interesting' bits.
To start, some long abandoned, (but maybe useful to
characters/players in a scenario) technology.

More using up of bits.
1) A bag of off-cuts from a sheet of foam board
    One seemed (to me) to be the base of a ruined bit of wall.
    Some interesting curved bits too.
2) Left over embossed card bits from a previous creation.
3) Bits from broken plastic plants.
4) Last few bushes, before I start using the new packs.

And here it is folks, another piece of scenery.
It can:- hide an ambush, block line of sight & (of course)
look nice on the table.

Pete,
That would be good for Sicily WW2 games, as a garden feature.

wont get through the gate. lol lol lol
