We out here slangin' HE. (SU-152 content)

I took an old Zvezda SU-152 that I painted a while ago and stripped it down.  I added another new Zvezda one along side it.  I will never use two SU-152's most likely, but they were fun to repaint.

A new town deserves a new mat.

I'm trying some new mat options.  I picked up two 'Autumn' mats from Geek Villain to try out.  Sadly they're far more green than advertised (or so I find), but they seem to work well with the stuff I have on hand, so I may well keep them.  If it bugs me too much I'll flip them.

I also knocked out two small fenced in yards/gardens --- one of which will need plants applied in the future.

I also finally set up eight of my ten new "village" buildings I built a month or two ago.

These are MDF kits from Knights of Dice's 'Tabula Rasa' range --- sadly the company is closing shop this month.  I've paneled them and added teddy bear fur as thatch.  After seeing them on the table, I may try to darken the thatch some more - not sure.

I tried setting up a simple village just to test all the terrain from the past month or two.  I don't love the neoprene road, and I need more fences, but it's a nice start.

'Scatterpalooza' 2023 comes to an end...

Well the majority of scatter terrain has now been purchased and painted. I finished up with some old resin boats and another Wizkids kit --- mainly because I really liked the barrel rafts they included.

I'm not painting scatter, you're painting scatter!

I received a few more boxes of Wizkids stuff and have been just blasting through it.  I'm closing in on being "done" with the initial wave of town scatter.

You callin' me chicken?

That's...fair.

 Some more terrain and scatter bits for Merciless and FSF.  The chests will be used as Treasure Tokens (which are the objectives of most Merciless games).

 

Never stop terraining.

I guess the year of terrain is continuing as I've just decided to start fixing up all kinds of stuff.  I decided - for some reason - to finally fix my tree bases.  They've long been without static grass, and I decided to tackle all my trees today.

I re-did the dry brush on most of them, touched up all of the tree trunks and some branches.  I then re-did the bases edges in a more neutral colour...then finally applied static grass to all of them.  Needless to say, I'm...tired of static grass.

I also touched up some pine trees I've had for ages - taking the dark blue/green down several notches by spraying the trees with a mix of green spray paints.

The trees are shown here without their foliage - as I mainly did work on the bases.
