I have made some terrain over the past week. I finally put together my
Knights of Dice Letters Home Normandy Terrace 1. This is a
great kit however I am not a fan of MDF. I find it fiddly and awfully time consuming. It is fairly fragile too in comparison to a 3D Print. You can get some great stuff in MDF and I still have much to build however I am a complete 3D Printing convert for buildings. I rather get a file, slice it and go and do other things with my time than build a MDF kit... but thats just me.
I do want to give some praise to Knights of Dice though, their owner Vivek is committed and passionate about his kits and for MDF they are absolute top quality.

The Knights of Dice assembled kit next to a 20mm WW2 3D printed
terrace by 3D Print Terrain (I went all in on their kickstarter) |
 |
| Base coated, I used Rustoleum Texture Paint for the sides. |
I also built an experimental field using some canvas and acrylic caulk. I got the idea from
Wargaming With Silver Whistle and his Book Setting the Scene. It was pretty straight forward and now I know how to apply his techniques I intend on making more of these scatter pieces of terrain.

| The canvas caulked and dusted with sand |
 |
| Primed brown, coffee grains for soil, drybrushed and vegetation added. |
I did a quick unedited photo shoot with the field and the Terrace together with some members of the 101st Airborne Division.
