I’ve been painting up some of our Small Scale Scenery<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> set.<\/p>\n

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

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 !<\/p>\n

I have more modules in progress, including some villages, so I’ll post details of those when they’re finished.<\/p>\n
