First terrain piece ever! - Trench section for 6mm scale
« on: 04 April 2010, 05:27:35 AM »
I've done my first terrain pice ever. Its 4cm-4cm trench section for 6mm scale (WW1, WW2 and Future Wars). Sorry for bad colour balance (Its because yellow lighting. Real colours are little bit different).
Materials: 40-40mm plastic base. Scratchbuild from music cd jevel case
              clay
              5 matches
              PVA Glue
              sand and flock to imitate grass


Here is my Zulu squad on 40-20 cm base (Brigade Models sci-fi 6mm infantry)


Here are my 40-40mm trench section

I think you should definitely make more, lots more. They look absolutely fantastic. You should include a photo tutorial for the next ones.  :D

Step by step photos would be great!

The first word that comes to mind is "adorable"! They are very well made.

Seeing this is 6 mm, imagine the quality you could do in larger scales  :o

Looking good, and I bet you already have ideas for even nicer pieces.

I'm impressed! Very good!

I normally dislike unpainted sand a lot, but this isn't too bad.  :)

I like it a lot but I too don’t like unpainted sand on scenic elements (or bases for that matters…)

As this is a pretty small scale I would suggest to paint the sand in a light color with a little pure white as highlight… but that’s just my opinion.
