Hello friends!
Took me just over a month to get these resin field fortifications from UK based Paul’s Models finished, which is pretty speedy for me. I now have a massive redoubt and several feet of fortifications.
More than enough to cover almost the length of a 6’ table!
Painting strategy was simply: black undercoat, craft store Folkart umbre brown on everything, then a drybrush of the same brown mixed with Yellow Ochre. The boards were a mix of yellow ochre and white lightly dry brushed over the black undercoat, and them treated with Army Painter Soft Tone. I didn’t want the boards to be grey, as they are supposed to be newly cut for the battle I have in mind, Seve Pines.
Temporarily occupied by a Royal Artillery Whitworth and a mix of Canadian and British troops, who must have read the last blog post here! These fortifications work well with 28mm figures and could represent any field defences or siege works from the Thirty Years and English Civil Wars up to the early rifle age.
Good luck to whoever has to take these defences!
Thanks for looking. Cheers and blessings to your brushes!

Nicely produced works, painted just right!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ross, I wanted the impression of freshly turned earth and I think the colours came out well enough.
DeleteLooking splendid!
ReplyDeleteHuzzah!
DeleteThey look great. No reason why they couldn’t be used for other horse and musket era periods.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. They would work anywhere from Borodino to the Crimea and a lot earlier to be sure.
DeleteThat's an impressive amount of field defences! they look great all painted up and populated by some lovely figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Steve!
DeleteGreat looking redoubts.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. They are redoubts of renown!
DeleteWonderful additions to your gaming table, Michael!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. As I have pretty much all the ACW figures I need for a 6 by 4 table, I am giving more thought to terrain these days, and this sort of feature seems like a good investment.
DeleteVery impressive...and superb, defenders will be pleased!
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil. Attackers may not be so pleased!
DeleteThose look great Michael! Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon, I'm happy with them.
DeleteCame out lovely Mike! And almost six feet worth too - hope for some tough battles to read about In the near future!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai. I hope to show them in combat soon with the next phase of my Seven Pines battle.
