the evergreen plasticard is very fat for my and hard to cut
I do not have as much patience like rick

I use the plasticard only for bases.

that it seems to you ¿? a little insipid no ¿?

the bridges and another plate need for scenary completeed !!!

I have been inspired by afganistan landscapes an pics.

more ahead it will buy houses proper

Bueno, Madre!

Very nicely done.

I think you have done very well making a scratch-built town. The buildings look very good, even if they are just card-stock. Windows and doors help in the look.

You may want to paint them up too, to help complete the picture. I have found that enamel paints works best for card-stock. When I have used acrylics (water-based), they have soaked in to the card more than the enamels do.

Two cheers for your use of improvised objects for the mosque. Do I see a squeeze-bottle top and a 35mm film canister? Again, a bit of paint may help complete the impression. With the skill you have shown on the ground terrain, I am sure your painting of the buildings will be first-rate.

I also like to find odd objects to use for my micro-armor buildings. Here is an example:


The buildings in the village are commercially bought. But the factory in the distance is part of a keyboard cover that came with a new computer. Cut, with some smoke-stacks added, and then a bit of paint. Works out great on the wargaming table.



Another view of the factory. Now you can also see a bridge in the background, made from cut carboard.


A close-up of the bridge. One of the trucks in the background has been hit and burns, using the colored yarn technique Thunder mentioned in another thread.


The MIGs were built from carboard and plastic putty about 25 years ago. Not exactly the best example of scratch-building, but it is the buildings I really wanted to show. The hanger complex is the plastic cover of some parts for my car that I bought at the auto-parts store. The houses are made from balsa-wood.

Have fun. Show us more pictures as you do more with the terrain!
