40k Salamander centennials and terrain piece

 My son Justin's been at me to get some more of his 40 army painted so here we are so much to do when will i find the time but somehow while doing my own stuff i managed to come up with the idea of this terrain piece below made out of a cardboard hard drive protective holder turn upside down and a few unwanted bits Justin had a bit of balsa around the edges and a lick of paint boom done

28mm world war two building scratch built

Woke up Saturday morning and though what the heck time to build something, i'd seen this guy on utube and thought i'd like to give that a crack so started this at 2.30 in the afternoon and before i knew it it was 11.45 in the evening one building completed gave it an airbrush the next day and i must admit i'm pleasantly surprised, still needs some rubble and messing up a bit but that can wait for now

 added a bit of texture with some sand and pva glues but not to the balsa areas which i wanted to be smooth concrete

 the idea with the balsa is to get some layering happening

 I painted the second story floor last night  sorry no pics of that

28mm Perry American War Independence

I've been working away at a few AWI figures for a commission that i'm  quite enjoying. There are a mixture of Plastics and metals in this batch they are all Perry but in the next batch  there are foundry also, this is my first foray into this period so hope i do it justice.

This first Regiment is the Virginia Covenant Guard hope i got that right 

 Then i went to work on a slightly rag tag bunch of continental infantry 

 I'v also started on four artillery pieces and a couple og Generals , i've also based and undercoated another 16 cav and 48 plus infantry so lots yet to do

28mm bolt action scratch built buildings , walls and hedges first batch finished

 quite happy with what i've done in past few days still a lot more hedge rows to do i bought some bigger trees to add in and ill do some more stone walls, the next house has a iron and stone fence in front so will have to start thinking of how to do that

 i started adding the shutters to the second building in the photo below

any suggestions or tips please let me know your thoughts

added a bit of paint building starting to come to life now

Scratch building 28mm Buildings for Bolt action scenario Normandy / Carentan

 Hi everyone I should be painting miniatures but i got sidetracked and decided to start on some buildings for a large game scenario which will involve three armies per side and three connected tables, i put on my band of brothers DVD and paused it just as the american's come over the rise first building is Cafe De Normandy sketched it out and here you have it made a few last minute changes to the roof, wish i hadn't but oh well. 

 decided to do it in 7.5mm balsa wood so it lasts a bit longer

 put match stick inserts on inside of windows made tile roof then coat the building in a mixture of polyfiller , pva and sand which i painted on with a large brush, then i carved paving into the mdf base and undercoated it all black read for next stage
