A little something for Japan
To help with the current KS here's a little tutorial for a rural Japanese graveyard using elements from the KS The parts used are JR02, JR04, JR11, JR12, JR13 and a couple of JR14 and the link for the KS is below (ends on Aug 7th) To begin with, I laid out all the elements on a 3mm thick sheet of mdf. I chose this size because it allows for figure placement and also a slight raised 'border' around the edge. For the graveyards, temples etc I've visited, the hand wash station i

A place in the sun
Specifically, the Peninsular although to be honest, these buildings could be used in many places around the Mediterranean. I intend to make several of these building bases as I have a sizeable collection of Portuguese figures and have also started some Spanish. The chap who I play with has plenty of French so the buildings should see plenty of action. I actually forgot to take a photo of all the separate parts but the links are below for the specific ranges and the actual lis

Secret signals
Here's another little tutorial using the new semaphore tower from the Peninsular catalogue, linked below. This is a very simple project as it only involves one building and some landscape work but should prove to be a useful addition to the battlefield as a major objective. No plan for this model was really needed as it's just the tower on a hill. The main shape was carved from expanded polystyrene and a 3mm mdf base was cut and chamfered. The rocks at the 'front' help to red

Crusades away!
lI have a very slow burn 1st Crusade project on the go and have amassed a fair few figures so far (couple of pictures in the gallery below) but haven't really had time to sort out some terrain for it. This project was the main reason behind the recent buildings range but also, I had the intention to do them to go with the Arabic shrine that was released a while ago. As always, there are plans to add to the range over time. As mentioned in previous tutorials, I generally have

From the Peninsular to the jungle
Several years ago we had a brief sojourn to the jungle and the 80's films involving drug cartels in South America. Our take was definitely tongue in cheek as the actual subject matter can be delicate. It has been mentioned to potentially get this going again and I thought it would be a good idea to do a few new builds for it using products from the catalogue. The first one is of a small house which would be part of a hacienda and it will use the medium cottage from the Penins
