For my second entry into the 11th Challenge I thought I'd get some terrain done.
I bought these Woodlands Scenics plaster cliff faces, from a Railway shop in Chatham.
They were only a few quid each.
They're based on some spare bases I got cut from Warbases.
To paint them, I first run them under a tap for a few seconds as plaster is very porus. This allowed the inks and paints to flow free, rather than dry instantly as it soaked into the plaster.
Then slapped on various black, brown and grey inks. and other greys, brown and greens
using watered down paint.
Gotta admit, I didn't think they'd look this good?
I originally bought them as I was looking for some scatter terrain to fill out a small table for some Donnybrook FIW games I put on via Zoom last year. But just couldn't find the time to get them done.
These are some 25mm Native Americans, shown just for scale.
And are these 15mm Natives, just for scale. I think they work quite well for both scales
Now the hard bit......the points.
Placing the 3 biggest on top of each other makes approx 2 x 6' boxes
with the 3 smaller pieces making approx 1 x 6' box, I think?
So I'd guess at 3 boxes, which equals 60 points?
Which was kinda agreed by Capt Minion!
Ray - they look the business!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the Norm.
DeleteThey look very realistic!
ReplyDeleteCheers Alex.
DeleteThese are really very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark.
DeleteNice mate
ReplyDeleteCheers Carl.
DeleteThese look great Ray and as you say, work equally well with any scale - they just become exponentially larger lumps of rock as the scale drops - in 6mm they would be like Ayres Rock - sorry, that should be Uluru nowadays if we are being PC!
ReplyDeleteThey do work well for both scales Keith.
DeleteGreat job! I really like WS stuff and you got these based nicely. 😀
ReplyDeleteI've not taken much notice if their stuff before to be honest, but will be looking it up for sure.
DeleteGot your rocks out Ray. Superb job with the painting and basing.
ReplyDeleteCheers Pat, glad you like 'em.
DeleteTop notch sir, very effective terrain pieces
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil, glad you approve!
DeleteBrilliant job, Ray! Well done :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Vasiliy
Thank you Vasiliy.
DeleteVery realistic terrain, Ray. Looks good with figures too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dean.
DeleteInspired job on the terrain Ray, they look superb, realistic...and useful!
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with them Phil.
DeleteVery well done! They should come in handy in a great many different settings
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed they get a lit if use.
DeleteYou have done a grand job there Ray. Brilliant looking rocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve.
DeleteBrilliant, top notch work mate. They look really good.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mr H!
DeleteLooks quite fantastic. I'd looked at those kits and dismissed them. I need to try one now.
ReplyDeleteDo give them a go.
DeleteThese are not unlike large rocks that I once clambered over in different parts of the U.S. They look good and should certainly fit in as terrain for many different parts of the world.
ReplyDeleteThey were so easy to paint up as well.
DeleteThese came out very nicely indeed.
ReplyDeleteCheers Lawrence.
DeleteHope the new year won't be rocky for you as that terrain :), Ray!
ReplyDeleteI hope so to Dez!
DeleteRay,
ReplyDeleteSuper scatter terrain! I'm building some right now for the FIW and never in thought of the railway plaster casts. Thanks for the idea.
Neil
No problem. I'll look out for yours Neil.
DeleteThese do the job very nicely, and they're quite a size too. I wold never have thought to wet the plaster before splashng paint on them !
ReplyDeleteI used to do a bit of plastering many moons ago. Always wet the walls before you do anything. Lesson learnt!
DeleteVery nice and realistic! Good job 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them Jose!
