Thanks!

So the whole bit of walling together.   I still need to buy some low walls to match to extend this but I think a good addition to the miles of walls, fencing, hedge lines etc I already seem to posses….but you can’t ever have enough!

He ‘s a bit good our Dave.

He makes all of his scenery look characterful and real.

This wall painted by most would look great, but Dave’s scenery looks great and tells a story.
All the best!

Jamie.

Crikey Digits! This is some excellent work and great inspiration for "Godfrey's Cottage" I'm in the process of. Where do you get the trees, plants etc?

Many thanks fellas.

Jamie….all the better for our games.  I’m lucky I can play on your great tables too so just returning the compliment!

JB….the ivy in the corner is by AK Interactive.    The plants in the plant pots are simply tufts available anywhere and the foliage on all fruit trees is Woodland Scenic olive green.

The trunks and branches are cut from an artificial flower and re purposed.  All fruit is painted coriander seed.   Hope this helps.  There are a few gardens back a dozen pages or so, that have various fruit and veg ideas you could use?

Re: CoC - Western Front - linear obstacles, a reckoning!
« Reply #1179 on: March 18, 2023, 02:38:58 PM »
For shits and giggles, I just totted up my walls and fencing.



A. Security Fencing, Woodland Scenic kit bashed 64”

B. Barbed wire defences 24”

C. Log / Stake fencing, Rubicon 68”

D. Plank fencing, Rubicon 108”

E. Wire Fencing scratched 96”

F. Brick Walling, Debris of War 30” ( another 48” on order)

G. High plastered walls, Empress 84”

H. Plastered walls, unknown 40”

I. Stone walls, Warlord 96”

All in all that’s 55 feet of liner obstacles and that doesn’t include all my tree lines / hedgerows from Last Valley which would be about another 12 feet…..so 67 feet in total!

I may be feeling a little insecure……lol


Edit:   I forgot I have Bocage ( Last Valley ) and both dry stone walls and TBM walls yet to paint….plus the walling and fences I’ve already made into gardens and stockades….and a load of “peninsular” walling from Grand Manner….so lord knows…probably another 14 feet on top of this…..I need to lay down!

Finished painting the printed barn.  With so many openings on this one…it will be like attacking a porcupine!
