JapaneseTsunami

Due to a busy schedule I am only now getting the opportunity to offer all my Japanese visitors who were affected by the Tsunami on Friday, my sincere condolences and sympathy. May God be with you, your family and friends during these trying times.

Christchurch Earthquake

To all my New Zealand visitors who were affected by the quake, my sincere condolences and sympathy. May God be with you, your family and friends during these trying times.

Yard 1 Update

Here are a few photos showing my progress as well as a few with the various houses inserted.

The last photo shows a possible combination of two houses and yards. All that remains is to dry brush and flock with ground cover. As you may have noticed I am having difficulty in choosing a ground cover mix for all my terrain pieces, any suggestions are welcome. I am thinking of a type of flock static grass mix that suits any general type of surface.

Yard 1

The following was inspired by Byzantium and Thanos. My houses need a bit more body so I decided to create a few interchangeable yards\gardens to resolve this issue. The next few photos show the making of the first one, a wooden panel fence with a gate at the back.

These yards\gardens will be interchangeable and will fit any of the four houses. As I progress I will upload W.I.P. photos.

 

Flak Nest

Finally I have had some time to get something done. Here are few photos of a flak nest I made, a short tutorial follows.

Here is the tutorial.

I use a hexagonal MDF base as I want it to fit in my forest.

Dill holes for the upright support poles.

Lay the floor planks (coffee sticks).

Glue in the upright support poles (BBQ skewers).

Glue the horizontal logs to desired height.

Cut upright support poles to desired height.

Add gravel for ground surface.

 Prime black.

Paint all the logs.

Paint all ground surfaces.

The following photos are for size comparison. A few Airfix Germans added. 

 The flak will follow as soon as it is complete. Dry brushing and flocking will be done later.

Hope you like and that it was useful.
