Desert designs

[alex918]

I have been a busy boy of late. Recently I posted a thread about DIY terrain building. This must have ignited some spark of motivation somewhere as I have remodelled some of my desert adobe buildings into terrain templates. Here's a few teaser shots for now, I'll throw together an article for the mill on how I built them. With plenty more photos. In the meantime here's Otto and chums up go no good amongst the ruins of a desert fort.

Very nice Alex. Article will be good too!!

[Leman (Andy)]

Presumably Otto has some Turkish ancestry.

[Colonel Kilgore]

I quite like the idea of having the leader base as a normal 3x3cm but raised up on a 4x4 with his name on - it certainly makes him stand out.

[alex918]

A retro fit idea TBH, I only had 2x AT guns to base and a pack of 40x40 based to use.

The terrain looks great.

Have you used a standard size for the building bases?

[Colonel Kilgore]

Presumably Otto has some Turkish ancestry.

I've only just got that one (had been wondering whether the surname Mann was of Anatolian etymology...) - doh!

Otto is often seen with his mates

And sometimes his enemies:

Les,

Have you used a standard size for the building bases?

All templates are just a tad under 12x6 so they sit just inside the markers nicely with no overlaps, this helps visually with the identification of squares.

Otto is often seen with his mates

And sometimes his enemies:

Oh dear - I wish I'd not enquired... 

[Leman (Andy)]

Surprised Dusty Rhodes and his South Africans aren't there. 

[Leslie BT]

With all the named bases you'll be giving Martin a bit of competition for the names of his leaders.

The sixe of the templates make them usable for the PP games.
