Hi Polish GI!

You definitely have the grass thing mastered. This is probably the best tall grass I have seen at this scale and the shorter grass looks great as well. Excellent work my friend!

Pete
Thank you kindly Pete!

Working on another avenue for the table that includes randomized grass with patches of dirt, vegetation and palms now.

In-between girls club volleyball starting up and flying out to SC for a University visit (volleyball) for my son, I’ve been able to work on a few pieces.

For the Vietnam table, not necessarily new pieces, just upgrading older pieces… and then seeing what they look like together.

Switched gears for a bit and went back to some older WWII pieces to see what the static grass looks like…

Basing looks very cool - it obscures some minor detail but I think that is offset by how well the base looks.

And of course your minis have an excellent paint job!

Glad to see you back posting again!

Thanks Burt! I agree… as I am torn on that… the grass adds something to the base but there is definitely a cost-benefit scenario here.

I almost embarrassed the wife again… it was touch and go there for a moment, but I was half tempted to go out back and added more “grass” to fill in the brown areas. lol

A couple of pics on some small items I am working on…

Getting close to figuring out a recipe for North Afrika. Working on the base terrain, roads, wadis and then need to start incorporating hills.

Finally got around to wrapping up my Churchill Crocodiles and Lloyd Carriers. Not complete yet…

Great eye candy Polish! A lot of good stuff going on there. You can tell a master painter by the cables and shovel handles he paints haha!

I will watch your Africa terrain with great interest - I have Kai Ted a bunch of Africa troops (uk, germ, Italy) but haven’t bothered with terrain yet...

Good to see your work once more!

OK wait....so now it looks like you're scaling your grass - bigger grass for bases with larger vehicles. It's not enough you put the individual blades of grass down, but now you're scaling them to go with different vehicles??? Mind blown!

It's been too long since you've posted pics of your magnificent work Polish! That is true craftsmanship!
