One is always on the look for terrain opportunities and when I spotted this in my workplace I could not resist it. The principal caught me snatching some of the stuff and gave me a weird look but did not say anything.
Back at home I quickly shaped them with a break knife and kitchen scissors.
The I polished them with a cutter and a bit of sanding.
After that I gave them a coat of cheap dollar store spray paint.
And finally flock them with a mixture of sand from the beach and some turf from Ali Express at voilá!
These four hills are gentle and keep the right measures for playing DBA, but they can be used for any other wargame really.
I agree, we are always looking for good material for table top terrain pieces and make building etc. Did you seal the hills, with brushing PVA transparent glue protect the flocking of the hills?...anyway..your hills look great! cheers!
ReplyDeleteI didn't but maybe I'll give it a coat in the end. What I did was giving it a generous coat of spray varnish. Cheers Phil!
ReplyDeleteA cheap and useful addition to the terrain collection Javier.
ReplyDeleteYes. Call me old school but I don't like spend money on fancy terrain. I rather spend it on miniatures. Cheers,
Deleteforgot to mention the Celts/Gauls miniatures on display for your hills look great! :o) plus I see two unpainted war elephants background of 4th photo Carthage/Sassanid? :o)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I am doing a Carthaginian army with Cromarty models and after that another Polybian Roman. The idea is playing Punic wars DBABB using DBF rules :)
ReplyDelete:o) umm..hmm...I'm also painting one each 15mm Essex DBA army packs - Polybian,Camillan and Marian Republian Romans first time I ever painted Romans! Once I finish with the roman project planning playing a few solo games with my Ancient Spanish - Iberian,Celtberians and Lusitanians! and I'm sure my Spanish will destroy Rome! :o) Haha!
DeleteAncient Spanish can defeat Romans, especially if they are defending. I regret selling mine from Corvus Belli :(
