Looking good.
Suggestions for terrain:
Irrigation ditches
Grape mounds and grape drying huts
More walls
More orchard trees and a box of lichen, the agricultural zones are surprisingly green

After seeing jamesmanto's grape drying hut, I'd say go with one of them:

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've got some materials for the next couple of projects, which I expect to finish in a few months.

Cheers!

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I need more terrain, which in this case means making a larger village.  I've added a few shops, plus some IED craters!  More info on the blog.

I've updated the blog with some vehicles.  Mostly the armoured humvee, but also an update for the trucks.

Love your Cross Asia style trucks with their paint work. Is that hand painted?

Thanks!  Yes, hand painted, I just tried to keep the decorations as simple as possible!

Them, along with that camo on the Humvee really make it all set a great scene.

After a busy week, I've added some detail for one of my shops.  One can now get some delicious naan-e-afghani from the local baker!  



I've also constructed a sangar for the ANP.







More photos and a tutorial for the sangar build at the blog:  http://willstoysoldiers.blogspot.ca/2016/07/afghan-bakery-and-anp-sangar-pic-heavy.html

Your Sangar looks a lot nicer than my commercially sourced one, some good modelling tips there. And the Eureka Minis Afghan civvies look good as well.

Inspired. I feel ashamed, I had a roll of drywall mesh in my hand cleaning up over the weekend and didn't think of the wargaming potential (well, I did but didn't think of anything!).

Adore the bakers, a very sweet touch.

Where was that from?
