Field fortifications - gabions, earth and timber.

Field fortifications - gabions and earthworks, plus hasty works with cut logs.

Agrax all the things.

Recent WIP daubage on various bits from @warlordgames.com, Battlefield Terrain Concepts and the now-closed Architects of War.

Couple of multi-period artillery works that I daubed last night and this morning. Grass etc next.

Four 28mm resin terrain pieces sculpted to resemble piled earth and logs, partially painted in earth tones.

Two partially painted 28mm small gun emplacements with earth-filled wicker gabions and timber reinforcements, painted in earth tones.

Works in progression. Specifically "earthworks in progression".

Hasty log and earth works from Battlefield Terrain Concepts. I *think* the small gun positions are from @warlordgames.com, but I couldn't swear to it.

Front view of an artillery emplacement with painted 28mm figures and crew moving the gun into the firing embrasure. Crew wear long red coats with dark blue cuffs, black broad-brimmed hats with yellow trim.

Rear view of an artillery emplacement with painted 28mm figures and crew moving the gun into the firing embrasure. Crew wear long red coats with dark blue cuffs, black broad-brimmed hats with yellow trim.

A gun emplacement needs - well - a gun, so I managed to get the Dixon field piece and a crew done.

Calling this "finished".

Not an unproductive weekend on the daubing front.

I'd say that's as far as I can go with paint and washes. I'd highlighted the wicker on the end gabions, but that was too much of a contrast with the integral originals, which're sculpted differently.

Tufts, grass etc next. 11/

Got sidetracked to some extent because of @necoho.bsky.social.

Williamite Wars: Clancarty's regiment in the rear (Dixon Miniatures), Luttrell's dragoons in the front (Ebor Miniatures LoA offerings by the prolific @hicksy.bsky.social). Crap lighting.

Drybrush the whole thing with VMC 819 - Iraqi Sand.

Timber and wickerwork on the gabions next.

Necissito más café first, though. 8/

Christmas game: highly entertaining ECW skirmish using Pikeman’s Lament and Chris’s very fine collection (and giant cat). My gang of looters ran out of luck despite being led by a fine captain from Bloody Miniatures! #pikemanslament #englishcivilwar #ospreypublishing #warlordgames

Went to say hello to @TaTM_blog and the other members of the @PeterboroughWGC this evening, as my current commission is only a stone throw away! They were running @gaslands_game #boltaction #xwing and #pikemanslament . Thanks for the welcome, I will be back!
