After a very long hiatus here on Wargamesgazette I will post again about my new project. I haven#t been doing nothing, concerning the hobby, but I just couldn#t find the time to post on here. In the meantime I painted a few Star Wars miniatures, but that could not keep my interest as my last project , the Vietnam war. Now, with 3d printers getting cheaper and cheaper, I restarted an old project of mine, which I worked on for the last time when I was a teenager. In my last holiday I started to reread the Richard Bolitho novels by Alexander Kent . I got som,e STL files from Turner miniatures in ..read more

This time it took quite long until I could find time to write this post. That doesn’t mean that I did no modeling or painting in the meantime. I just couldn’t find the time to take pictures of the finished projects. So here is the first finished project I had time to take pictures of. The 3D printed LVPT5.

Some swamp terrain pieces

Last weekend I finished some scatter terrain pieces to be used as swamp area. I am building up the last missing terrain pieces for a campaign game set during the Vietnam war, north of the parrots beak area. This area of Vietnam was a large swamp and abandoned rice paddy area near the border to Cambodia. So an infiltration point for the NVA and VC. But back to the terrain pieces. I want to depict the swamp as individual scatter terrain to be able to have different pathways through the swamp. The whole area will hinder movement due to being difficult terrain. The individual pieces were build fr ..read more
