FIW: UD 13/5 More Warlord plastic conversions & a skiff

EDIT
Page 13 - update with replaced images


A new 'all plastic' project: my 2nd foray into the FIW.  

I'll be using my The North terrain with added tiles for a bay and woods.

For the minis I'll be using plastics from the Warlord Games AWI sprues, and I have parts for about 50 minis that I'll get my hands on on Sunday morning.

In the meantime, I made a couple of batteau that will each take up to 6 minis on 20mm bases.







The prepaint assemblies, each made from parts taken from a 1/150 sail boat kit plus a bit of plasticard (some crooked lines as little was measured):

Nice conversion work.
 

Another all-plastic project?
I think that you need a new name.....

That's cos I've been here for quite a long time 

Looking forward to this project Steve. Your North terrain, with some added forest, should suit perfectly for the F&IW.

Yes, I may have been enjoying a couple of festive sherberts.

I am however sober enough to appreciate another fine SI build. Ingenious work Steve, your ability to churn stuff out at such a high level always amazes me.

The bateau or is that bateaux are looking good. I was a big fan of your 1st FIW project and took lots of inspiration from it so am looking forward to more of this.

Just read part of your blog a couple of days ago and your northern board is excellent, I like the way the edges of the boards mate up because you have used static grass to blur the sides a little. I think it makes a big difference - certainly from the photos I saw.

Cheers

Thanks everyone for all the interest.

@ Vagabond: thanks and yep the static grass does the trick of obscuring the join. Quite a few people on this thread have seeen The North boards 'in the flesh' and so will know they're not perfectly level.

Thanks Jeff  

In case any one is interested, the process was:

Paint Chocolate Brown
Wash Agrax Nightshade
Dry Brush US Field Drab
Dry Brush Grey Green
Dry Brush Sea Grey
Dry Brush Sky Grey

A bit convoluted I know but I was just playing around until it looked right. I shall probably use the same on the wood for the blockhouse (which, to try something different, will probably be made from leftover sprues frames for timbers).
