I have been rushed off my feet today, so didn't get any wargaming stuff done at all. However, I have had a good look at all of the laser cut mdf bits and bobs that I got from Supreme Littleness Designs including the ruined desert fort and road templates. I've unattached the parts for the fort from the frame, which was very easy as they just fell away with no need for cutting, then undercoated them in Halfords Ultra Matt Camouflage Khaki as a key for later texturing and painting. This really is lovely little model and I'm looking forward to gluing it together soon. I've also had a look at the road templates, which are the contents of three of the 50mm wide packs, so there's plenty of sections to configure.
I want to make some dry gullies or stream beds, so have matched up the crossroad piece with some hedge row bases from ERM, which I'm hoping can be made into the gully sections, while the crossroads would form either a ford or a bridge. I'm also planning to do at least one blown up section of road, using resin craters from The Scene, and a checkpoint using the Peter Pig set, which includes some sandbags and a barrier for starters. I've even thought of using some of the straight sections for railway lines, based on the method I used to build a section of track years ago for AK47. I only made up one of these, based on a strip of cork floor tile and using some old TT gauge model railway track I salvaged from the local dump, but it would be good to have a decent stretch for the rebels to blow up!
