Big forest

After dealing with some Warhammer Fantasy puppies and repainting Bolt Action winter G.I. squad decision was made to improve game table a bit. Some time ago I've managed to assemble small piece of forest, but after using it for over 2 years I've realised I want something bigger. For 2 reasons:

1. It provides more tactical options during the game.
2. Decently made terrain feartures look great on battlefield and on photos, which is double important if you are planning posting battle report. Especially when it comes to Bolt Action.

This piece was made more less same way as the previous one. I wanted it to be useful for gaming purposes so you can remove trees to move even large units or models inside (tanks,  warbeasts or whatever). It's pretty large terrain feature (~24" x ~18") so decision was made to cut it with a path, so units can cross it this way without penalty. Otherwise this thing would be just a line blocker most of the time probably.

I wasnt's sure about final result when I started working on these Heki trees (they still are pretty fragile despie all the varnish I sprayed over it) but I really like the final result. This is the first wood / forest piece I've ever had which shows the scale of models staggering around ^^ 
There's an empty space in the middle so I'm going to add another tree to make it look pretty thick from above of from a distance. I should have enough materials for another 6 ot 7 "trees strong" piece of wood so sooner or later my game table shoud get even more dense.

So here're the piccies:

Below - column of US vehicles crossing cutting the forest:



Most of trees are removable so any model can easily get inside:


Even such big as Mercurian Maculator!!! 


Cat is banned from entering the forest but it's ok for showing the scale.:


And some pics from the gaming bunker. Looking at this now I am sure I want another one! ^^
If anyone's interested those sweet buildings come from Black Grom Studio. And since we're here - big thanks to Andrzej from Terrains4Gamers for ideas and actually encouraging me to give this project a shot. You can surely call youself godfather of this piece! 😁





Cannot wait to test this piece in combat!

Selling: US Rangers and M8 Greyhound

This time it's just quick advert:

A while back I put whole infantry on market but part of them were repainted for local contest. Turned out I like the winter style so much, that decided to keep and redo ordinary infantrymen. But there are still models looking for new place which won't be repainted:

M8 Greyhound: Italeri piece, painted with acrylics, sealed with matt varnish, antennas were replaced with bendy, unbreakable rods (which make it more real imo). Price: 60 USD.




US Rangers: mix of 10 metal models: Stoessi's Heroes, Black Tree Designs, Artizan Designs and West Wind Production, painted with acrylics, sealed with matt varnish, all models have Rangers' decals. I gave them extra foliage to make it pop among rest of my units, but that should also make them proper unit for Pacific War selectors. Price: 150 USD.




For any other informations drop me message or write a comment. 
Thanks for attention!

FULLY PAINTED Bolt Action US army

So looks like it finally happened:
after few years of gaming my US army is fully painted and ready to spread democracy among gaming tables, with fire, explosives and air raids!

I had little somthing to write about every unit in the force but now, looking at them presenting together I am just glad whole project is finished. 
Can't remember I've been taking army pics every before but really like that crawling mass, reminds me good old Sudden Strike RTS. If anyone's interested buildings are from Black Grom Studio. And if you want some close ups check the labels under post or on the panel (there's 200 letters space limit under posts).

Hope you like the family shots:








And some pics from the painting station. Finally got the reason to clean it up...



I wonder if such a mass is sellable at all...
