Completing various builds, mostly for TSATF

My first real attempt at an Afghan hilltop village...

An Afghan hill watchtower I started for Sgt Guiness, then Covid..., that I'm finishing for RECON

A Sudan hill watchtower, because....?

A higher end Sudanese building

A Colonial Governors Building, 3 story, with playable interior

My Sudanese port town in progress

Oh, and a 13 pound, 1 ounce largemouth. One of the biggest ever caught!

Thank you. Was a mix of static grass, khaki paint and spackle

It was 32 degrees.

Nice.

As to the outfit - did you just plain scare the fish right out of the water in that rig?!

Great stuff. I really like the Sudanese buildings, and the weathered render looks very convincing!

Excellent work. These would work splendidly for The Men Who Would be King as well. Did you carve out the exposed brick straight into the foam core? Great tones used too.

Thanks. Yes, I remove the paper layer, and scribe with a pen.

Sometimes I scribe a piece, step on it to make it thinner, sand it, and glue on over the building.

Absolutely fabulous buildings. I’ve just been thinking about diving back into my 1/72 colonials and I think this may just have been the push I needed…and nice fish.

Man you are off to a great start, wish I had the time and talent to pull that off. Please continue to post updated pics.

Wow, you are on a roll Smokey, excellent work, on the buildings and the fish!!! After completion… could they line the road to Kafiristan???

Smokey, miss you brother!

Beautiful catch. Amazing buildings. I agree with Capt Shanks about the tones, great colors. Your scratch building skills constantly impress me.

I need to find the box of custom flags I made you, where did I put them??! Damn covid….

Hope to see you soon brother. Bad news, I can’t make Recon-22!!! Long story. My slot is open on the TSATF table if you want to run a game? Let me know and I’ll get you in touch with Hogan who’s setting up the TSATF games for the weekend.
