There are good folks on eBay and then there are the crooks.

Too true Ian.

Nice job.  The molded rubber is sturdy as hell but a pill to work with.

Also true Snitchy, but I do have a soft spot for such terrain, ever since seeing such a Church in a Donald Featherstone book.

Been making things for my friend Bob, (Flatpack) who is on a Rhodesian kick.
I would say a big kick, but he is doing it all in 20mm  :D

As he has now received the commission (I was tempted to say, 'Bought the Farm')
I can now start to show pictures of 'Stuf Wot I Dun'

First up is some clutter & a few trees. Always useful in a skirmish game.

Some Barns.

Bob provided the assembled MDF barns, I only painted & based them.

The small house.
Bob provided the part assembled kit (Airfix Bungalow)
I did the rest.

Next the garage, another old Airfix kit.
I believe the original kit came with some petrol pumps...this one didn't  :-[
So I scratch built two. :)

The 'cottage' (a reminder of Blighty back home) was a glass ornament which
I have had hanging around since I was a nipper. This years moto is, 'Use it or lose it'
so I added it to this base.

The cars were repaints of charity shop cheapies. The cars are probably wrong for a
UDI Rhodesia, sorry Bob. :?

Finally, the Big House.
Again Bob provided the kit, assembled but for the roof, which had warped a bit.
This did mean, as I had to employ a fair bit of glue & weights,  It couldn't have
the removable roof Bob wanted. Again, 'Sorry Bob'.

Pete
Thanks for the time and effort that you put into these.
Hopefully we’ll get them to the table soon for a game.

Well done Peter - plenty there for a skirmish game - that is some foot print you have produced - on a smaller playing area you won't see much cloth :-) - excellent stuff.
