Gamecraft Miniatures are interesting...they make very (read: extremely) simple kits....but sometimes that's what you need, specially for Afghanistan style structures.  Did you just use a textured spray paint?

I like the result you achieved!

They are simple but I feel for 20mm it still works plus, like you said, it works for Afghan buildings. As for the texture I just brushed on elmer's glue and then sprinkled on sand. After that dried I spray painted it then dry brushed to give it depth. I tried to go with a small grain of sand but ended up spilling the container on the portion in the above photo resulting in a very rough texture.

Great buildings and a even better set up.  :)

Did you order from the States or is there a UK distributer?

Well done!

I use the 15mm kits for my Central American gaming and though they are simple out of the bag, you can also add a lot of detail using model railroad parts. As you said, it just depends on what you need.

hi, they are incredible,

vepaminiatures will distribute in a few time buildings like in the image,

Can you tell me how you made the surface?

because we make by petition some buildings, but they are hand made, and the price is bigger

the way I did the texture was to simply spread glue along the surface and then sprinkle sand then paint

the crops are simple but very effective. You can consider that idea stolen.

looking very nice!
Did you do anything to the crop fields other than cut them to size?
