Greetings everyone,
Today I'm going to show you my latest addition to my ever growing collection of terrain pieces (mostly handmade, as most of you that follow this blog already know).
Since I'm a cheap git (my fellow English friends may raise their fingers for my misbehaviour - I heard it in a movie and I liked it), I was trying to come up with a way of making some cheap, durable and respectful (in terms of wargaming feasibility) stone walls for my little men.
I browsed the internet for some ideas, but the answer came through one of my wargaming buddies, Vaggelis, who's trying to entice me into the world of Chain Of Command rules - he didn't try much tbh, since I didn't need much of an effort to indulge myself into something new hobby related thing.
He told me to use PVA, and plastic decorative gravel. Yes, you got that right, some PVA and plastic gravel. Below, you will see how easy it is to make some - good, for the eye at least - stone walls by combining these two, and easy to find materials.
I started from this:
Watch the video and spread the word, spread the word guys, so we can all play!
Have a great Monday evening everyone. :-)

P.S: If you care to see how I made the small barn next to the stone walls, see this post.
Very useful tutorial, I shall bookmark that. Where did you get the plastic gravel from? A hobby or craft store?
ReplyDeleteMike, check your local IKEA (http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/catalog/products/60236095/) or the flower shop, that's where I found the stuff I have. I have been using it for basing, never occurred to me to build walls this way. Must try that now.
DeleteThanks Thanos, great tutorial!
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAlways simple and great tutorials Thanos! By the way, grab the lads and let's kick some Jerries mate!
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial. Now I have to find that plastic gravel.
ReplyDeleteIKEA.
DeleteThank you, Thomas. IKEA for the win!
DeleteWonderful! You make it look so easy, the pink walls were fun too before you painted them - perhaps for a Martian game?
ReplyDeleteSweet lord, Mike, was that necessary? Now I have visions of playing Mars Attacks:Humanity Strikes Back with space-suited humans invading Mars.
DeleteThanos, please start thinking about trees to match the pink stone walls of Mars. ;-)
Great! Thanks for share it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Green Sir! :)
DeleteVery nice modeling. It works for me, Mr. T.
