Here are my DAK for PBI getting slightly roughed up by a British barrage and close assault.

Alex918: a nice-looking game!

Any chance of explaining how you made those explosion markers, please?

Colonel Kilgore,

While I would obviously like to credit these for myself they are inspiration from someone else, unfortunately can not for the life of me remember where from?


The base is an old FOW small plastic rectangle with a handful of old screws of varying lengths super glued to form an armature to which clump foliage is then glued on to form the burst.  Very glue heavy, messy and lots of fingers stuck together!  Final step is to load up with black paint (lots) the clump foliage drinks it up! then drybrush over in varying shades of brown.

BOOM



Regards

Thanks, Al - very effective.

I remember seeing somewhere (I think it was The Terrain Tutor on YouTube) experimenting with old sponge and a liquidizer to make super-cheap clump foliage: this could be a good use of it as it's all going to be painted black anyway.

Something else to play around with sometime...

A friend of mine made his by making a rubber cast of a piece of appropriately shaped coral and then casting in resin.

Frontline miniatures make explosion markers that look similar. We use them at our club for square bashing and other such games!

They are superb.
Various other colour schemes might work?
