75th Anniversary of Battle of Monte Cassino and Northern Italy (Terrain Build)
Finished Bunker
I’ve now given the bunker a light dry brush of mid grey.
I lightly drilled out the gun barrel – not all the way as it was quite fiddly but enough to create the imitation. I painted the gun barrel middlestone and then applied a wash.
With the basing, I started with the clump foliage. I soaked this in a 50:50 mix of water and PVA until it was sodden. I then applied it straight to the base and left it to dry. This was, I avoided any of the scatter getting stuck the ‘bushes’.
Applying the scatter was just a case of painted the PVA on to the base and sprinkling. I went for a mix of a dark and mid tone scatter to build in some variation. Once dry, I sealed this all down with a water/PVA spray – about 5 to 1 ratio.
I think these bunkers are now finished. A couple are a little rough and ready> i probably should have spent more time on the cutting of the foam to get a better angle and end result but otherwise, I’m quite pleased with the result.
Next up, I will look to build some machine gun nests.
Great idea for a project, with plenty of lead time. And thank very much for the mention! 😀
It’s the least I could do! And I need the lead time.
