More Bolt Action terrain

Heyah,

Looks like once again instead of proper miniatures the bloggy has been stuffed with terrain pieces dedicated to Bolt Action game. This time it's a warehouse from Black Grom Studio and ruined hamlet set from Warlord Games

As for the warehouse I got it together with a "House F" and brickworks. Not much to say about the quality - all parts fit well, model is easy to assemble and makes great cover for those goddamn Fallshirmjager...

Definitely recommended - and not only for German Army players.

Basic idea was to cover it with bricks, just like the buildings mentioned above, but since the model was assembled before I got wall texture it was simply painted and weathered with dry pigments and oil wash. 
What's new on this one, is the glass. There's no glass in the windows of the previous buildings - officially I say it's because heavy shelling arround: 
shockwave was so strong it made those poor soilders deaf and glass break. Nice, eh?

Sad truth is there was no glass added because I wanted to see buildings painted as soon as possible on the battlefield and was still looking the proper material to use. Urge to use new stuff was too strong in combat. But I won't make that mistake on the coming construction - this element is just way too cool to give up:

The other one was kinda rescue mission:
My buddy purchased the hamlet set but aparently while assembling he turned into PVA-berserker and when it dried all parts were like sinking in a snow. There was actually so much of it I had to cut the excess off before breaking the parts apart.

Originally there were 3 demolished buildings but because I got pile of walls and bits I decided to turn them into single one: maybe it was post office? Village hall? A chapel?
Whatever it was now it's great cover for even the largest squads and vehicles.

Not far ago it was occupied by Nazis but as you can see it's safe in US hands now. My GI's were rather busy with taking fire so the flags haven't been removed yet ;-)

Take care!

  2. Very nice! Out of curiosity did the Hetzer ever actually appear in in Panzer Grey? I have only seen it in ambush camo or dunkelgelb.

  3. Not sure really, painting this one was just a gift for my bro - didn't care about checking it's historical background.
    But I'm sure what you see is just vehicle just before the crew applied camo.
    Yeah...
    Those Germans paint over grey undercoat...
    For sure...
