A new thread from me to hold my generic terrain pieces, which otherwise tend to get lost deep inside a project thread.

My main projects encompass LotR, ECW, 17thC Scots, 1875 Invasion of England, and Sci-Fi, each of which will use some or all of these pieces. Items specific to a project will continue to go into the relevant project thread.

First up are some rocky outcrops, which are a repaint and reflock of outcrops made for a long since abandoned Nappy Peninsular War project. They are made from broken up bottle corks and plaster. I’m not worried about the genre-specific accuracy or otherwise of the ‘dry’ soil colour, as I just like the way it sets off the figures.

The outcrops will serve for 1650 Scotland and probably for Sci-Fi.  Should the 1875 German Invasion break out of Sussex, Surrey and Essex, with action around Tunbridge Wells, then the outcrops might  also serve for Harrison’s Rocks (as a backdrop to the railway line and river that run parallel).

Five large and 4 small:

NB: They are sat on the unfinished terrain boards that I am in the throes of making

I’ll add more info on the terrain boards when I’ve made more progress.

Those look great my 18mm Nap table needs some of those

[Elk101]

They look great.

[Mick_in_Switzerland]

They look very good.

I especially like that you have made 8 matching pieces in various sizes so that you can cover a good part of the table.

Nicely done 

[Silent Invader]

Thanks all - much appreciated

[AKULA]

That’s a “proper job”…. good work mate 

[Fitz]

Very nice. I like the variation in the foliage, it adds so much to the overall result.

[Charlie_]

Perfect, great colours!

[Blackwolf]

Cracking work

[Golgotha]

Those rock... 

Very useful - also like the bridge.

[Codsticker]

Very nice. I like the variation in the foliage, it adds so much to the overall result.

I agree- it really makes ground cover so much more realistic.

[FreakyFenton]

You've got some stones!

Apart from the bad pun, great bit of terrain!

[Silent Invader]

Thanks all. 

I’ll post more on the bridge when I’ve finished the boards.

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.
