Tatooine Buildings

Some 3D prints that I've painted up recently. Here's the recipe: Cover the printed building in textured masonry paint. Prime in any suitable sand colour spray. Base coat with Americana Honey Brown. Wash key areas (near the ground, joins, edges, etc) with diluted Agrax Earthshade. Leave until fully dry then stipple the edges of the washed areas with Honey Brown to better blend in the grimy look. Drybrush with Americana Tan followed by Americana Bleached Bone. The doors, etc were picked out with VMC German Grey followed by VMC Grey Green , then VMC Neutral Grey. I have quite a backlog of Legion figures and scenery to post so hopefully I can catch up with some of this soon. Happy gaming!

But first, for my non-UK based visitors I should explain the BBC Gardeners' World is a weekly gardening TV magazine programme from the BBC, from Spring to Autumn, about all things gardening. I must confess that I do occasionally watch this programme. Anyway, here's the gaming stuff. I've wanted to build some fields/garden for a while. The original plan had simply been to build a few ploughed fields but the modeller in me took over so now I have a couple of what are more like gardens, plus a small ploughed field. Here's some pics.

Crete Campaign Game Eight - Probing Pervolia (again)

Following on from the earlier attempt to dislodge Dave's FJs from Pervolia, my brave Aussies have regrouped, reinforced and mounted a second attack! Here's Pervolia, eerily silent as the forces muster for battle. On this picture I've placed markers showing the approximate locations of our Jump Off Points. Allies blue, Germans red. I'd attempted to push along the flank through the buildings and gardens because that would afford the best cover. But Dave was quick to push his patrol markers forward. My supports were a Matilda, two extra sections, a Vickers MMG and Stavros the elderly sniper (let's hope he's not been at the homebrew plum brandy this time!). Dave chose the LG40 ( Grrr! ), a 50mm mortar and an Adjutant. The Australians kick off by deploying a Matilda, but with Jerry lurking out of sight, the commander puts the gunner in overwatch. Perhaps my comment about lurking has stung Dave into action. The FJs deploy in the house with a balcony, the cart-ho...
