Terrain - Building a test Fort section for my collection of toysoldiers


Manufacturer:   Selfmade from foam

Scale:   1:30 - suitable for toysoldiers in 60mm


Hi again,

this post is about a test section for a fortification I would like to build for my collection of toysoldiers, suitable for my beloved period of warfare - the FrenchIndianWar.

This section was completely built from foam and may look easy, but in fact it isn´t as easy to build as it looks. I would like to build some more modular sections to integrate them into my showcases. The idea is to do something similar to my already finished Fortification in 28mm.

In fact I have made this piece of terrain already some months ago. Yesterday was the day that I had the inspiration to get the colors on. 

I also had built a log cabin about a year ago that can be seen in combination with the test section on one of the photos. 

The colors do differ a little bit. So the best idea is to create all of the planned sections first and paint them all together. So there won´t be too much difference. But in my opinion the colors of the two terrain pieces do fit quite well.


Cheers 

Mike
