My terrain building has really slowed down recently and I am getting back into it. First up I decided to assemble and paint the "Ruined Hamlet" by Warlord Games. This came in the Band of Brothers starter box set for Bolt Action Version 2.
I based it on some spare plasticard and decided to go with a Winter Theme for my Winter WW2 engagements and for Frostgrave. Winter terrain looks really unique and gives a great theme to any table.

Its interesting that this kit from Warlord Games is actually a re-branded 1/72 kit from Italeri. My formula for snow and winter effects is as follows:
- Woodland Scenics Flex Paste
- Wilder Snow Effects
- GW Valhallen Blizzard
- Woodland Scenics Soft Snow Flake
- Various Winter tufts
This gives a very frosted wintery feel and looks lovely on the table :)
Pimping the Ebay Trees
Next up we have a base for my
Ebay pimped trees. The trees look a little bland on the table and now they have a cool base for them. I used some Plasticard and cut it in an interesting shape then I designed some "rings" to hold them in using Tinkercad. They are 61mm for 60mm bases but after painting and weathering I need to make the next lot 62mm.

I glued the rings onto plasticard then filled with some caulk. I then flocked it up and the results are rather splendid. I can even place a team weapon where the trees sit.
