Operation Bocage

Operation Bocage has begun and is in the very early stages. Im going to need a fair amount of peices of various lengths and shapes and plan to incorporate some of the new walls and gates made by (Warlord Games) into the pieces to give some nice variety.

I have seen many how to videos online for Bocage scenery but in the end I took a few tips and decided to go my own way. Im using plasticard as the base as its thin and strong so when placed on the table only the smallest join can be seen between the table and the scenery peice, this is the same as i do for all my scenery, its slightly more expensive but i like the way it turns out, it also takes paint well and doesnt warp.

For the grass banks im carving up some bluefoam, its a miracle product one of the best scenery mediums i have found. Its going to be textured and grass and other plants added aswell as a nice thick hedgeline along the top , I will also add a few stones and rocks here and there plus afew trees from (Woodland Scenics) I am going to make them myself using their armature kit, which i used for my Port Royal model and the result were excellent.

Just a few of my American army list for Bolt Action. Some 101st Airbourne with some 2nd armoured backup.

Farm update 3

Finally finished the farmhouse plus one of the outbuildings. Tracked down the ivy i wanted at Salute2014, its Mininatur (plane-tree foliage summer).
Work is  progressing well on the final two sets of buildings for the farm, then its time to build the board.
