Next projects.....15mm Normandy Terrain - Part One

Some more of my stash for past Colours' visits came to light whilst rummaging in my drawers.



 These items were intended for my long planned re-fight of the Pegasus Bridge action and consisted of; -

  • Peter Pig's sentry box and road barrier
  • Peter Pig's French concrete telegraph poles
  • Original Laser Designs (O.L.D.) mdf beach defences
  • Warbases Stalingrad type mdf ruin.
The set consists of sandbagged wall and brazier together with sentry box and road barrier.  I opted to mount these on mdf bases for ease of use and painting.
I needed the sentry box and barrier for the bridge itself as many illustrations show one of these at the Eastern end of the bridge.

The bases were textured firstly with artists acrylic paste.
The French telegraph poles were irresistible as they are a constant feature when touring the battlefields and will add some real character to a wargame's table.

They come in a pack of 10. The cast bases were superglued to the poles and then to steel washers to make them more stable on the table.

Sand was the added to the bases with PVA

Given a quick coat of craft shop acrylic "Chocolate Brown"
The beach defences will double up as barbed wire pickets or anti-tank obstacles.

These are simple to assemble and look the part when completed


The ruin, is just that, a random ruin I can use anywhere on the table.

Very basic model (though cheap!) which will require some work to get it ready for the table....rubble, timbers etc.
This post shows work in progress, I will follow up with the finished articles soon.  (https://timstanks.blogspot.com/2020/04/next-projects15mm-normandy-terrain-part.html)
