SEASON OF SCENERY 2026

 Or in my case let's try that again, and get more than a drone done ! LOL As with previous years all scenery counts, whether small or large, scratchbuilt, MDF, resin it all counts, also if it's already part done, it will still count as long as it is finished between the 1 st of July and the 30 th of September, yes I will have it open for a full three months this year. As with previous years vehicles will count as well, and it doesn't matter your preferred scale, it's all about finishing scenery. Here are some of last years fantastic entries to get  you in the mood and also a huge thank you to all who did the extended edition, in the hopes I would be able to do some more myself, you are all heroes in my book..

Also I need to apologise to Mick who emailed me an entry last year, and it ended up in my spam, so while I was ill I completely missed his entry, so here it is now in full

If you would like to take part this year, leave me a comment below, or email me directly at wargamesterrainworkshop@yahoo.co.uk if your blog isn't one I currently follow please remember to include a link to your blog. That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe and have fun !

ANIMAL OR VEGETABLE ?

 I have managed to get both versions of the Swamp Beast cast, and now painted, color wise I've gone for several green tones, one for the grass over the base of it's legs, a different tone for the leaves growing in patches and a different tone for it's basic skin tone, the vines I've picked out in brown, and the moss in a pale tone.

Here is a group shot of both variations

I've already put them on the website and here is a link to the relevant section alien-fauna to make it easier to find on the site, but that shouldn't stop you browsing all the other bits ! LOL My intention is to keep the business open for as long as possible, but that will depend on my health, so things could change quickly.

That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

WANNA BUY SOME DEATH STICKS ?

 This month I got some under city dwellers, to add to my legion models, what I liked about this set was they were interacting but not violently, maybe just a little seedy ! LOL I thought they would be perfect for background in Mos Eisley, or Mos Espa. I got this set of 3D printed models from Ebay, from bertd_70 these were very reasonably priced and worked out roughly at £1.50 each. The casts were great, and needed very little cleanup, they didn't come with bases, which wasn't a problem for me, but something to be aware of when getting 3D prints.

Below is a more detail shot of the three humans, and the astromech being used as a fire bin. I wanted to vary the skin tones, and the one sat on the floor seemed to have dreadlocks so I went for a darker skintone.

Next we have the aliens, in the set you get a Rodian, two Chagrian, two Gran, and a Twilek.

Gone for a variety of colors across them all so they didn't look like a bunch of Imperial recruits on shore leave ! LOL That's all for today, so until next time stay safe, and have fun !

FORGOTTEN HEROES Part 4

 Today I have finished Spikes Harvey Rotten, I tried to do patches of faded denim on his clothing to give a well worn look, his ammo pouch belt I did in green to match the judges as they were who supplied him, and made sure to include his hand grenade earring, as this was an iconic look of his.

Here he is opposite Sabbat, and yes two different timelines, but they were both done for the same challenge.

I have no idea if, or what else I will do for the challenge this month, as I have some other things on the go at the moment, and a lot to prep for "The Season of Scenery" which starts next month, details to come soon on that. So until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

FORGOTTEN HEROES Part 3 2026

 Continuing on with this years challenge, I am happy to say, I didn't fail this year as I have completed Sabbat, painting wise I went with the first reference picture apart from the shoulder pads I went with bone as shown in the second reference picture. Painting wise the longest part was painting all the faces of the cloak, and each took the same amount of time as a normal face on a model ! LOL

While I was waiting for paint to dry I got the sculpting done on Spikes as well, I decided to give him a shotgun, this will mean I have Dredd, Tweak, and Spikes, I can also cover the other Judges needed with what I already have in my painted models, I just need the 3 robots and proper sized Landraider, and then some of their opponents, to be able to game the crossing of the Cursed Earth storyline.

That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
