SI’s Generic Terrain: ud 28/12 Finished Haystacks

[levied troop]

Beautiful work - I can feel myself being tempted away from teddy bear mats

[Silent Invader]

Thanks all. Comments much appreciated 

In terms of other generic terrain pieces I have on the go, there’s the Manor House, the derelict monastery and a small church. I really ought finish the church - the village needs one - but the two larger pieces have greater ‘fun’ potential

Lovely

Great job all around, that is the kind of terrain I aspire to, but haven’t reached.

Thanks - comments appreciated

Lovely work, Steve.
Looking forward for what next.

I just found this thread and I'm stunned. That board and the scatter pieces are beautiful! I don't have the time to read everything, so maybe there is somewhere written, but how did you flock it? I love those realistic, desaturated colors!

[Silent Invader]

Thanks folks - here’s the mix I use:

Regarding the ground cover ‘flock’, it is made up from the following mix of products and proportions:

WS = Woodland Scenics; J = Javis

2 of WS Coarse Turf Burnt Grass T62 (353 cm3)

2 of WS Coarse Turf Yellow Grass T61 (353 cm3)

8 of J Static Grass No 2 Summer Mix 2mm JHG2

1 of J Static Grass No 1 Spring Mix 2mm JHG1

1 of J Scatter No 10 Light Meadow Green JS10

1 of J Scatter No 12 Dark Green JS12

It all goes into a big bag and is shook-up before being patted onto PVA (with the excess brushed off when dry)

The tufts are by Gamers Grass.

Smallish update:some haystacks and a handcart full of hay.



Edit: These are made from poundstore paintbrush bristles, stuck with UHU to a cork former, then trimmed with scissors before being soaked with dilute exterior-grade PVA to tie down the loose bits.

These are now in the painting queue. They are primarily for use with the 17thC Scottish project (thus the Bloody Miniatures mini as a size comparator) having been influenced by a scene from Rob Roy:

Thanks all - your feedback is very much appreciated
 


And with different buildings:


WW2 Sicily

Great work

Would love to see this setup

I’ve yet to put together a full terrain set for the Sicily project. It is a really slow burn with only British airlanding painted, so not yet ready to game. That said, terrain wise I have

Olive grove
House
Rocky outcrops
Trees
Destroyed monastery (still WIP)

When the last item is completed it’ll feel like I’ve enough terrain for a board, which will no doubt encourage me to paint Germans.

Sounds great

Working on a setup myself but no where near your standard

Your SRS project? That’s looking good

The haystacks are fantastic - going to have to copy these
