Season of Scenery challenge wrap up

I managed to squeeze in two more items finishing last night.

First is a laser cut bridge which I always planned to store dismantled. Not sure about its endurance as it only got used once back in 2018! Since when it’s languished at the bottom of my bits and bobs scenery box.

Nice and wide but the rails mean it looks better for 25/28mm
Nice assembly design – by sarissa?
Paint job was coffee followed by the skeleton contrast I used on the pontoon bridge. Quick and effective.

Now it’s painted it might actually see the Wargames table again.

Finally I dug out a more recent purchase. Some warbases? walling. I say dug out – basically you get a set of walls and in my case I found one I missed this morning – twerp more haste less speed springs to mind.

The missing culprit
Too busy painting multiple things to spot I had only 9 out of 10 pieces plus two gates
The walls were laser cut assembly and went together fine – coffee base colour plus a mid brown for the tile top and burnt sienna on the base
They were finished with mid brown damaged areas, a terracotta red to the tiling and then a Jarvis grass to the wall base and finally some dried tea.

Finally some of those that got away.

Again they come from the pit of scenery, both by a company based in Northumberland. I bought mine in a fantastic Welsh model shop in Porthmadog.

I bought a bridge and damaged cottage.

Zulus and Welshmen
A wonderful very well stocked model shop with free mountain scenery and full size narrow gauge steam trains nearby

They hark back to bellona days…..

The cottage requires you to create some of the damage
The unfinished bridge – maybe next time?

Indeed the bridge will probably stay like this while the erratic in me wanders off.

That was Dave Stone’s season of scenery challenge 2024!
