28mm Afghan Compound

Had a request for a 28mm Afghan Compound, I'd checked out the mdf ones available but wasn't happy with the wall thicknesses and general size, so decided to build from scratch. Dougie. As a basis for size, roof/floor height I used the Renedra Mud Brick House.

 The compound is constructed from 10mm craftfoam which is very easy to work with.

 A view of the basic form.

 The square edges and corners are sanded to give the Afghan look.

 Internal floors put in

 These are removable

 Corners distressed

 Murder hole added

 The compound with texture added using filler

 Doors constructed

 Painted and distressed

 Basic colour added and based

 Doors hung

 Job done with some bits and bobs added for character

More Winter of '79 thoughts

In between my commission work I've been pondering 20mm Winter of '79 stuff, here's where we are, buildings wise I think I'll use Metcalfe, Scalescenes and Skaledale, these are either card or pre painted so don't need much tarting up. The photo below shows the Metcalfe corner shop in redbrick, the only thing you really need to do is paint the external folds a suitable colour or you can see the white card on the external folds. easy to do and just takes 10-15 mins per building.

 

Vehicles are the excellent Oxford diecast, a local model shop was closing so I got a load for 30% off, 70s-80s vehicles including a "Professionals" Capri, a Tonibell Ice Cream van/VBIED and a Green Goddess to put the fires out.

A few more armed civilians knocked up mainly some old Hotspur, assisted by Liberation.

I've got a reasonable selection now, have to think of a leader and standard perhaps ? Dougie
