We are planning to have a large game of Stalingrad, spread over several tables, starting 9th of February. Here is the “part completed” component of my share of the terrain.
In addition to these 20 tiles I have another 12 “Gothic style building tiles and four other ruins that have been completed for a long time. Here and here.
These could be used now although I would know they weren’t completed
Each will take about an hour dry brushing, highlighting and picking out the detail in the detritus.
This means I still have about twenty hours ahead of me to complete the project.
This one shows you what the completed building tile will look like.
I am not sure that I will go to the lengths of putting “wallpaper” on the walls like this one.
There is even a pattern in the remaining tiles!
Two of the essentials of life – “the loo and the bookshelf”, but alas not in the same room!
The bed reminds of that Verlinden vignette “What did you do in the war daddy?”
Must be the local music teachers house.
Still needs the outside perimeter wall to be completed.
“Ruba dub dub”!
The remains of the local children’s playground with grannies rocking chair.
Nineteen now left to finish and less than two weeks to go!
Wow Guru! Looking great 👍👍 I didn’t realise that we’re only 2 weeks out but,. Glup.
Thanks Jason. These were originally bought for “Zona Alpha” games but the Stalingrad game was a good incentive to get them finished.
Impressive even at this point in time! 🙂
Thanks John. I wanted to at least get to this stage so that they could still be used if something happens and I cannot get them finished.
Lots of work to do. Good luck.
The “finished” one looks great 😃
Frank
“Tanks” Frank, Hopefully a little bit each day gets me there.
LoL 😂
Yeah, I guess so.
I should try for a little hobby time each day. Usually a lot else going on. Keep up the good work.
I try for one colour a day on a few units and by the end of the week they are all almost done, as very few figures have more than 7 colours.
A man with a plan.
Sounds like a good idea.
PS Being retired helps!
Ahhhh, so your secret is out.
Yeah that would help a lot. I’m some years away from that at the moment.
These should certainly add a lot of atmosphere to your upcoming game.
There has been a lot of work put into this. The grain elevator looks awesome. I will do a post on it in a few weeks time.
Wow, very nice!! Love all the little details!
Thanks Eric the details help to tell a story.
Those look great Guru- the little details tell a rather poignant story of prior occupation.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete I like how they have come out so far. Just need to finish them!
What’s your next project, Leningrad?
I detect a hint of sarcasm haha! My next project is the Australia 101st Mortar Support Platoon and then the 39th Australian Militia that fought the delaying action along the Kokoda trail. However I have the concentration span of a gnat so who knows what may pop up. I want to finish my figures for “Gray for Now’s” 0200Hrs which looks like a greatb game, and…………………………………………………!
Excellent mate. Wish I could come and see the game. I’ve built a few terrain pieces for Stalingrad over the last six months and this post has inspired me to do more.
