New 15mm terrain and photo technique!

 I want to share some new (and old) scenery for 15mm gaming, such as bocage, fences, trees and tree log. Terrain tile was made from cardboard. I cutted 1 foot square and then primed it to prevent warping. All fences were made  from craft store matchsticks, glued on plasticard base and washed with Agrax Earthshade. Bocage was also glued on plasticard base and have some insulation foam chunks in the middle, covered with bushes. All miniatures are from different manufacturers and time periods. Please bear in mind that I want to base them on 20mm circular clear acrylic bases made by Litko, so that's why they have super tiny bases. The car is WWII era Russian "BA-10 Armored Car" made  by Zvezda. There are French infantry fireteam from 80's made by Peter Pig behind the BA-10 and also a Laserburn range mercenary with assault rifle painted with Vallejo "Japanese Uniform WWII" and highlighted with Citadel paints called "Bubonic Brown" and "Bleached Bone". Soviet 45mm Anti-Tank gun is made by Plastic Soldier Company. Its maned by modern era insurgent commander in red beret, made by Peter Pig  and Cold War era German infantryman, made by QRF.

New Tile

My previous tiles were made of 1 foot cork tile glued with custom made MDF tile. My idea for using additional layer of MDF was to make tile stronger and prevent warping, but this MDF increaced weight of tile, so transportation of 16 tiles to local club was very hard work :) So I decided to make new type of terrain tiles, from 1 layer of cork! New tile was very light and its not waprs. I nearly finished flocking the tile and placed my recently finished terrain pieces on it for photo purposes.

Repainted T-26

Just repainted 15mm T-26 tank from Zvezda and I am gonna  paint the rest of my T-34 tank force this way. You can see the old color scheme here http://15mmworld.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/psc-t-34-85-and-zvezda-t-26-tanks.html

I used Knarloc Green for base colour, then I highlighted all hatches with 50/50 mix of Knarloc Green and Straken Green (new paint). Then I used Straken Green to highlight all edges. For some hull and turret edges I used 50/50 mix of Straken Green and Bleached Bone. Then I drybrushed tracks using khemri brown. At the end, I applied minimum amount of blackwash on hull around hatches edges and onto tracks.
