It’s a Small World

I’ve been painting up some of our Small Scale Scenery range in the past week or two, ready for use in some upcoming games. I’ve started with some small factory and farm units, basing a mixture of buildings on 0.5mm plasticard bases.

The factory units are based on textured plasticard that looks like cobblestones – OK, I realise that in scale these cobbles would be about 10 feet long, but I prefer the look to a flat surface ! I made a surrounding wall from 2mm plastic strip and I’m going to add a sign over the large factory gate. I’ve mixed and matched a bit, the loading bay in the large unit is from the railway buildings set.

The windmills, from the Agricultural Buildings pack, were both based with a house from the English Village set. I Googled images of windmills to get ideas for the layouts and colours..

The rest of the farms are very much South-East England in style, with Oast Houses and barns around a yard. The bases are painted green then flocked with Woodland Scenics fine turf. The trees/bushes are Woodland Scenics clump foliage attached with a hot glue gun. It looks from the photos that I need to be a bit neater when painting round the edges of the bases !

I have more modules in progress, including some villages, so I’ll post details of those when they’re finished.
