Great work, if I can be slightly critical, where are they getting that dark green foliage camouflage in winter ? (yes I know.. Tannenbaum, das grunst..) but you would camouflage a ground unit with what was ground coloured.

You’ve seen me making dark green hedges above?  I just looked at a few reference books and copied them tbh.

I like the terrain! The idea with the pumpkins is very creative and I will totally steal copy that idea once I can find fitting stuff here. The fencing is quite good and I like the approach of keeping it playable for different seasons.  :)

The hastily disguised PaK is nice. I quite like the painting of the crew as well. Further food to get cracking on my own stuff!  :D

Great job Digits!

Oh, and those farms look quite good. After reading the book by Peter White's "With the Scots" about the fighting in Germany I might have to invest in a few farms as well. Most scenes revolve around those, be it as billet or as hideout for german Spandaus.

Besides, there's a scene described in which an MG crew had hidden their bunker under one such haystack. Maybe food for thought.  :D

Yup, farms cover the vast majority of countryside, with exception of forests.  Makes sense.

So, had my first battle with theses fellas.

See here

https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=127234.0

One thing very apparent is the need for more scenery.....

So, construction progress.

More coniferous forest sections, 4more feet of fence/hedge and 4 off 6” barbed wire sections.



Sanded only.   So I will paint these when dry before adding hedge pieces and the wire which will be my take on a triple concertina obstacle.

I need to go collecting twigs too as I want lots of wood piles to represent the forestry work in the area.

Lovely work! What are you using to base your terrain pieces?

2mm plasticard.  Easy to bevel the edges and a quick sandpaper roughs the surface up.

For larger pieces, like the tree bases, I use cork backed placemats.  Cheap and readily available everywhere.

So, another two sets of a Renedra palisade fencing.  This time, I distressed the fence in a few places and I have hit on a more autumnal finish so I also went and reflocked the first set.

Also, just waiting on the barbed wire to complete these triple concertina barbed wire sections.
