BEF and Early War Germans

Finally got round to painting some BEF and Early War Germans.  The BEF are from Warlord Games and The Germans from Wargames Foundry.  I've had the Foundry ones for years but could never decide on what paint colours to use but thanks to various guides on the internet I came up with suitable colours.   Now on to the poor pictures.

WW2 Bolt Action Terrain

I have been working on some terrain I can use for WW2 gaming, mainly Bolt Action.  I love the idea of Operation Sea Lion so am sorting out Terrain for my Brits to face up against the Germans.

Fist up is updating my polystyrene tiles from TSS.  They were rather bland being all the same colour so have added more flock which I think is a great improvement.



Next up I have got some MDF kits but I have never been very happy with them after painting and can't afford the pre painted types.  So I decided to clad them in Noch sheets.  My first test was a church with has turned out quite well.


Next up is my WIP on a row of terrace houses.






Still along way to go and have learned quite a lot from doing this so can hopefully make it easier with the next one.

Bolt Action Australians

Finished up my first lot of Australians for my Bolt Action games.  They are a mix of Warlord games and Artizan miniatures

Bolt Action Jungle Terrain

To go with my Japanese, Chindits and USMC I have started work on some jungle terrain. Generally following the Terrain Tutors Burma Build on youtube.  I am using what materials I have. The bases are hardboard cut into different sizes and shapes.  I then cut up and glue on a polystyrene ceiling tile, put filler in the gaps and round the edges to smooth it out.  Glue on sand and small rocks for texture. Finally undercoating in bitter chocolate masonry paint.  Still lots to do

Bolt Action Japanese Army

I have had my Japanese figures from TAG for years now. I have painted some up  but lost interest.  Now I am going to have a go at Bolt Action I decided to get them out and form a rough 1000 point force loosely based on the Warlord Games Japanese starter army except using TAG figures.  I already have TAG Chindits but will get the USMC starter army from Warlord games to save on cost.




Bolt Action Terrain

Bolt Action is one of the projects that I keep thinking about but never get round to.  Well after sorting through all the stuff I have I am starting to give it a go.  I am getting seem stuff to come to make Jungle terrain but first up I though I should built two houses I got ages ago from Stonk Games.  They went together quite well, there were a few mistakes how they had been cut but for the price they look very good.  I have the Farm Hovel and Ruined Farm Hovel
