Hedges for Days

I made a ton of hedges, about 1 and a quarter meters worth. I actually made it out of left over pluck foam from my cases. I trimmed the foam into small strips about the height of a man, then dyed it dark green using a mix of paint and and water. In the process I managed to drop a piece of pluck foam down the drain in my sink. It's not draining properly now. Fuuuuuck meeeeee.

After letting them dry, I glued them to thin strips of plastic. The next step was the time consuming task of twee-zing and shaping the foam. It was pretty fast actually.
To finish them off I just put a tiny bit of the autumn clump foliage on the bases and added in some gates and shit. I'm going to go with this early autumn sort of theme for all the terrain that I build. I think it'll add a little originality to any games I play.

15mm Quonset Hut

Ooh. Look at the little hut!

I made it out of a cardboard tube and some thin plastic. It conveniently fits a Flames of War medium base. I put a Sherman next to it for scale.

On one side it has a little door. On the other side it has a bigger little door that is placed so you can place a little gun!
Little guns placed in little huts are great for little ambushes.
