Building a bit more scenery…Part II

Posted on April 5, 2016 by Neil Shuck in Painting & Modelling // 9 Comments

You may remember last week I wrote a blog post about repurposing some old toy farm buildings as 15mm wargaming scenery.

Well, I did manage to finish these off over the weekend…

First off, the chicken coop:

Is now a storage shed

The boxes/barrels etc are from the Baeuda Battlefield Accessories pack. The wooden poles are matchsticks

Secondly, we have the Rabbit Hutch

Which is now a rural garage

The Oil Drums and boxes are again from the Baeuda Battlefield Accessories pack, the Petrol Pumps and Tyres are from Peter Pig. The fencing is scratch built from every scenery builders second favourite material: the Mk 1 coffee stirrer!

The bases for these models are from Warbases.

Neil,

I must say that you are rather good at producing very nice pieces of scenery and buildings.

  Thank you John
  All the practice I have had in building bits of scenery over the last 18 months is finally paying off 🙂
  In all seriousness, I am really pleased with how the garage turned out – I think it is probably the best piece I have done so far.
  
  However, I need to stop getting distracted by building scenery and paint some Panzer IVs 😀

  Also, I can’t claim credit for the wood grain effects on the buildings themselves – these are actually cast in the plastic, but weren’t apparent until they had been washed and drybrushed.

Those are really good. Amazing transformation.

I second this, the transformation into some beautiful wargaming terrain is remarkable. Very well done and the addition of all the details adds even more awesomeness!
