I needed to knock up a quarry terrain piece for the D Day game . I based it on a piece if A5 MDF and built up 4 layers of 10mm XPS to the shape I wanted - I little bit of carving with a knife and the job was done. The usual PVA and sand mix to texture .
One man and his brushes.
Picking up those brushes again.
I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.
I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

Terrain - Quarry
It only took an evening to build and another to paint up so pleased with it . I think I will do a larger version based on an A4 sheet at some point

Gaming - D Day Gold Beach
With the long holiday weekend we took the opportunity to set up a full days gaming down at Pendraken HQ in the games room . We took over the full thing , giving us a 6 x 16 table to play with . As it’s the 80th anniversary years of D Day we are going to be doing a few invasion games . This time we chose Good Beach , King Green sector with 6th Green Howard’s attacking inland towards Crepon. This also covers the site of the actions of CSM Stan Hollis VC .
A bulk of the terrain stuff is mine with all the miniatures being from JamesM’s collection .
