SEASON OF SCENERY ROUNDUP PART 1

 As promised, here is the round up of this years challenge, now you may have noticed the part 1 in the title, and that is due to Azazael still has to post up some entries, so I will do a part 2 when he has posted up the rest of his entries.

fantoricalwargaming Simon got some 15 mm scenery done for the challenge with these excellent blast craters, Corn stooks, and haystacks.


lostdamnedstunted Dai, started the challenge with an excellent Sherman tank, then followed up with a Genestealer statue, abandoned cars, a fantasy statue, water container, and Humvee.


wargaminggirl Tamsin has been the queen of the jungle this year with so many different bases, including Kunai grasses, bamboo areas, coconut palms, banana trees , and so much more. If your planning on doing some jungles I would strongly suggest checking out her posts, for some great techniques, and how to's.


rantingsfromunderthewargamestable Roger made some scratchbuilt scenery to start, with an excellent skull altar, then cleared some resin scatter scenery, and finished off with some MDF sci-fi terrain with his awesome slum district.


angrypiper Keith cleared the decks of a load of scatter scenery he'd been wanting to get done, including tyre stacks, barrels, gas tanks, crate & barrel piles, sci-fi crates, and food vending machines, which he had to freehand paint all the internal food.

pmpainting Matt started off with a new scenery project or two, but completed his cottage from last year first, then did an apocalyptic store, barricades, billboard, a fence, and a monster egg.


azazelx Azazel made use of the vehicle inclusion, during July, with finishing off an army doing some Shermans, and Valentine tanks, plus some gravestones, that just happen to have big bats on them, and I will post up the rest of his stuff in part 2


twitchybristles Mick did a great rendition of a WTW toxic pool.


saturdaymornings13 Ivor went old west for the challenge, and took some nice MDF buildings from okay to awesome, including a Sherriff's office with detailed interior, and livery stable.

 


justneedsvarnish John concentrated on his Paraguay wars scenery he wanted, including Chatas, fortifications and lookout tower, he also repainted a great Pagoda


markamorin Mark, completed his Aztec city scape, that included walkways, city flooring, reeds an lilly pads for the surrounding water, Cortez war wagons, and cornfields. Not ony was he doing all the above but started a 1:1 scale project, with new garage, and entertainment room.


imperialrebelork Luke, had hoped to do some of his Wild West buildings, but got stuck into his own 1:1 scale scenery, with his awesome new hobby shed, hopefully this means next year he'll have more time for smaller scenery ! LOL 


A huge thank you to all who took part, you are all the stars of this event, and it wouldn't be the same without you, hope you can all take part again next year, know Roger has already got something planned ! Also if the pictures above have wetted your appetites, they are even more pictures on their respective blogs.

So until next time stay safe and have fun !

Cheers Dave

  1. Superb posting, Dave. Thanks very much indeed for putting both the Challenge and this posting together. Sadly, I didn't paint anything near what I intended - I really do dislike painting scenery - and am now swamped with partially painted terrain, I never finished. LOL!!! Hopefully, I can clear some of it before next year's challenge.

    1. No problem Simon, the whole point of the challenge is to get some scenery done that would normally sit there neglected, you could always save it for next years challenge, then your already half way to completion ! LOL

  3. There really were some great entries this year Dave (though I think you missed that chap who was doing some little Star Wars inspired thing 🙄).
    I was especially pleased to see Matt finish that cottage. as now I can stop badgering him about it!
    Thanks for running this, it's been great to see what all those talented people can do. But I'm not thanking you for reminding me of the "stuff" I have ready for next year! 😁

    Cheers Roger.

    1. Your welcome Roger, as any one who has run an event will tell you, it's a lot of work, but totally worth it, to see such talent on show. The roundups are all about the people who make the challenge what it is, my stuff doesn't count, as I'd be doing it anyway, and without the rest of you, it's just me making some scenery ! LOL
      I suppose with 9 months until the next one, you could get all the soul sapping bits done, a little each month, so next year you've just got the fun painting to do !

    1. Some truly epic entries this year Tamsin, so sorry about that, will make sure I put them in part 2 for you, thought I'd gone through everything, but was going a little screen blind at the end ! LOL

    2. To be fair, I did produce a huge amount so it's no surprise you missed those! :)

    3. You were indeed very productive over the two months, but I can't believe of the two things I missed were your swamps, as I was so impressed with them !

    1. Spot on Joe, I was hoping you might have got one of your buildings finished, so I could include it in the summary.

  11. Dave - thanks so much for the spotlight and running the challenge. It's always great to see others' fine work and I am honored to be part of the group. My cityscape is now suitably stored and will be going to Historicon in November. I apologize for the late reply to this fantastic post but when you see my next blog post you will see why! I ended up doing two weeks' garage+ progress in one post - well, it's in progress anyways. Again, you're aces in my book, thanks. Best, Mark

    1. Credit where credit is due in my book Mark, so you are most welcome. The amount and quality of submissions this year was exceptional, and without all the participants the event would be nothing, so thank you for all your entries
