Africa corps (Oasis finished)

[gamer Mac]

Its one of the adobe buildings off my shelf.
Lovely sunny day so I thought I would try better pictures taken outside





Forgot to paint the rifle on the base

[NurgleHH]

Should I add some green grass to the bases?

Green grass is not so typical in norther africa. It is more brown coloured, dried by the sun. In the desert there is no grass or something like this. For bases you could use barbed wire and stuff like this as an idea?

Pish-posh Colin, these buggers look just fine.

Some transport for the first squad











This the Warlord plastic kit. Very nice and very easy to put together.
Still got the gunner to paint.
I have also added grass tuft's to the section.

[NurgleHH]

Very nice, do you plan to build a table?

[gamer Mac]

Thanks
No we are just going to use stuff we had from pulp games plus the sand boards from our aquanauts  game. Got a few plam trees to base up and my brother has 1/48 scale barrels and jerry can set for a bit of decoration. Not really sure what else you can add to a desert board.

[archiduque]

Excellent stuff!!

[Mason]

Looking good, sir.
 

I think the tufts do make a difference, so that was a good choice.

As for desert scenery: I think that you SHOULD make at least one thing...an oasis.
Useful for lots of games and really helps set a scene.

Cheers guys
Oasis sounds good I'll get my terrain guy on it

Thanks

Desert Fort-ruins, dead animals, skeletons, broken cars, Oil-Pumpstations (as object for games) and smal villages (like the renedra-houses). Oh, Palmtrees

Ooh! Who's he? Can he build some stuff for me?

[gamer Mac]

I am afraid not. He is to busy working for me. Does a cracking job and i only have to pay him in cups of coffee.

Took a photo in the sun today, It may need another coat of varnish on the water.
