Set of 10 mm river tiles: phase 2
All of the regular tiles have been constructed, plastered, based and painted in a mic of browns and greens, and then covered with a thick layer of home made burnt umber terrain wash - and STILL there is some foam peeking through - but nothing that the subsequent flocking will not take care of. But before flocking I am going to carefully paint the river bed white, and then gently wash with greens and blues, topped of with a good strong gloss varnish. Some pieces are still in the pipeline: The bridge + road crossroad, the river + stream junction, and the lock for the Carentan scenario (and any other scenario where a lock is needed, of course). All combined that's over 3 m of river!

Some Pendraken 10 mm ruined houses painted
Here are house #1 and #2 from Pendraken after cleaning up and painting. This turned out to be simple and straightforward. The houses both feature a narrow rim which I suspect was originally intended to support a remnant of the second floor floorboard. I'm definitely going to make a bit of floorboard and try that out. Apart from that, the pictures reveal some details I have got to take care of, and then these are ready for battle!

WW2 10 mm Rubble etc. review
One of the things I brought home from Salute was a selection of 10 mm terrain items: mainly rubble, but also some walls, fences, and a few bridges. I got stuff from three different manufacturers: Pendraken, Time Cast and Field Works.
