Laying Sod

The rumors are true; I have built a 4x6 wargaming table. It is seen below in its true glory. 
Unfortunately it is still in it's penultimate stage. I was planning to make it 4 x 8 so I'd have a surplus of 2x2 squares for different options, but unfortunately I ran out of flock and glue. The flock thing and glue I bought seems to be more suited to a 4x6 rather than 4x8. 

I digress, what I meant to post here was a sweet series of pics describing my building process. Consequently get comfy, cause this shits bigger than most "all you can eat Chinese buffet" shits.

New AOP

Just a quick post saying I've recently purchased a model to replace the AOP I never bought for my Canadian Armoured Recce Sqn. 

Do you think it's a satisfactory substatute for a Flames of War, Auster AOP?
Cause I think it do's.

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.

Whole Squad on That Real Shit - Assassins Added

Hey fellas,

or whatever creepsters may be lurking this part of the internet, welcome. I just have a small painting update. For some reason the only thing I'm getting inspired to paint these days are old metal 40k models. Don't ask me why.
