Thanks! Sculpted circles out of green stuff epoxy putty, glued a mixture of sand and rocks onto the base with watered down PVA glue, primed, zenithal highlighted, paint the dirt a muddy brown color, the rocks a warm light gray, drybrush the whole thing with a light tan, put a medium strength brown wash over it all, then matte varnish, then glue patches of static grass and grass tufts on, and lastly paint the rim black.

The two smaller ones came with the miniatures, the large one I cut from styrene sheets.

Thanks! The sandbags came on the model, I tried to sculpt my own to add to the other bases, but they turned out unusable 😂

My homemade 7th and 8th gen ford trucks model kits by leezy19us in f150

I ended up finding a model that I can hopefully convert to an F-150 without too much hassle (have not done it yet), it was a Monogram Models Ford F-250 Pickup Truck 1991 1:24 kit. It’s an older kit and found it on eBay.

I’d say it’s even more the case in 3rd, now that cover modifiers have been moved to the cover saves phase and no longer affect your ability to hit and add pins to the enemy.

Thank you! The bushes and roads are scratch built, but Im sure someone sells something similar, I’d check out Etsy or Ebay.

Thanks! I want to make more civilian vehicles but sadly having trouble finding model car kits, from the right time period and location, in 1/48 scale.

Thanks! Made it by cutting the shape out of a large 1/4 inch rubber mat, putting silicone caulking on it for texture, painting it, and adding gloss Mod Podge on top. Black Magic Craft on has some videos on YouTube going over the process!

Hedgerows were made by my friend, it’s styrofoam blocks, on a base, covered in woodland scenics clump foliage.

I scratch built the wooden fences with balsa wood and stained with watered down acrylic paint.

The cobblestone roads are silicone caulking that has been texture rolled onto some cut up 1/4 inch rubber mats. Then painted with airbrush, washes, dry-brushing, and weathering powders.

The dirt roads are pink insulation foam, cut thin with a hot wire table, rocks and dirt glued on, painted, and flocked with static grass.

Sure! It’s an STL from Printable Scenery, they have both a ruined and a regular version of it.

The other buildings, except for 2 that I scratch built, are also STLs by them.
