I've started on scratch building some wadi sections for the Sandbox Skirmish project, using some river templates from East Riding Miniatures which are in convenient 8'' lengths, making it a spot on fit for my 32'' square desert terrain board. I have included two 4'' lengths as well, one of which will be modelled as a road crossing or ford. The idea for these wadi sections came from some ready made 'off the shelf' terrain that I've seen on The Last Valley stand at numerous shows. I am now waiting for the cheapo super glue to dry, then I'll be able to build up the bank with a filler and PVA mix, before texturing the bed of the wadi with acrylic paste and a sprinkle of sand.
It will be interesting to see how these develop Jim. I have some wadis to make for my next N.Africa game although that will be for a smaller 6mm scale.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be going in the right direction so far? Have you thought of the Supreme Littleness Designs terrain templates for your wadis? I think they'd be perfect for 6mm.
ReplyDeleteWill take a look at those Jim
