I was gifted some recycling bins at Partizan by Shaun on “the Bunker “ Samurai game. The bins are 28mm and I will add them to my modern skirmish and 2000AD collection I think. They need some graffiti so off to search for some suitable images to print out on decal paper.

A few 20mm ww2 terrain pieces, first up a fettlers railway shed, entrenchment, hay stack and some French fuel drums for a supply dump.
A project I started last year during the analogue painting challenge in March 2023. I was in storage last week when I found the half finished, so I decided bring it down and comple it over the weekend. Quite happy with my results, I intend to base this also and make a gatehouse and outbuilding for it with the entry from the courtyard. It will join my other pieces and is suitable from 13th century to current.
Another table piece for my Cold War collection this time a camera crew covering the troubles along the border….. figures from Elhiem miniatures range.

Every now and then I come across pieces that would service pulp games. These pieces are from GW and are part of the storm cast terrain. Simple assembly and look pretty good painted up imho. A simple two or three colour with highlights.

Always adding a bit of 20th century and modern bits to the collection. Some street lamps from model railway supplier, I was hoping to get some more cows done too but next week I suspect.
I sculpted the paving with green stuff, I did think about adding LEDs but that is for the more permanent pieces I purchased for my city blocks.

First figures painted for the year, and my first entry for this years Analogue painting challenge. I picked this miniature up from combat games in Sydney. The figure is from the reaper miniatures village range and is obviously a copy of Joan of arc statue in Chinon. Although bronze when weathered is a brown colour for me it looked too dull, so I elected to paint brass then add a green wash.

Back to upgrading some buildings this week as I want to start basing and adding walls and outbuildings, gardens etc to my layout. I have about thirty to refurbish for my Mayenne/city table, some will not take much, other need a lot of work. I have been breaking up bricks, cork and tinting kitty litter with washes to make bags of rubble.
First up a old warrior, possibly 20 years old, I have a number of these I think from Queens Hussar (could be wrong) I will bring the brick up to the normal bright red orange of our region, then add a few bits of interior pieces, damage, rubble, signage then add the yard and out buildings on a base to fit my town tiles.

Working on some bridges I purchased at Partizan and a building I picked up at a local Model Railway swap meet for modern gaming.
 A A shipping business, I will strip off the flower beds, base coat the brickwork and roof and add details |

As I charge on with my Ville Mayenne build I have purchased some walls and fences for the gardens and the wall for the river and port. Work will progress this week as I work on the structure of the river first, then the bridges.
Cheers

A bit more in progress work on my 20mm building for my ww2 Mayenne city table, doctor Morriset house, which was the lodging of the commandant of the Oisseau Wurzburg/ Freya radar station
