When I start a new project I do like to add scenery that suitable and sets spirit of the place , to this end I have been making up various bits of 2D-ish terrain for the 'toy soldier' look I tend to go for . I've been looking on eBay amongst the various MDF shapes and found the above , I've cut some in two and glued them to give stability and fixed them to suitable bases . The two members of the Republic de los Cocos are to give a sense of scale . I hope to get some of these painted up soon ready for the tabletop.
Can't wait to see them painted up - there's nothing like a bit of 2D scenery for that 'toy solder' effect. I recently bought a number of Irregular Miniatures explosions (large and small) and painted them up for use as markers - they look so much better than counters.
ReplyDeleteYes I've got some of those explosions as well - very good !
DeleteThe 2D scenery works really well for the "toy soldier" style, looking forward to seeing the painted results.
ReplyDeleteYes think they look the part .
DeleteExcellent pieces Tony, they'll match perfectly with the pieces you found in your neighbor's skip! I look forward to your first "Nacho Battle!"
ReplyDeleteThank you , hope to get them all onto the tabletop soon .
DeleteThey work a treat Tony…
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing them painted.
All the best. Aly
Hope to finish painting them soon , glad you like them .
DeleteReally like that 2d-ish village/house. Reminds me a little of Morschauser's use of 2d buildings along the grid lines to conserve space on the table. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about that gridded game - some subconscious thinking maybe ?.
DeleteI really like 2D bushes and trees for some battles - mainly if I class them as 'toy soldier' rather than 'model' battles - they can be very effective.
ReplyDeleteThey look the business !
