My first infantry platoon. All painted and ready for battle. I made the bases so they look like the unit is on the march, down a small road in Normandie. This will serve to recognize units on a large battlefield and being able to tell them apart.
5 Step Guide To Weathering Model Railway Buildings | Model Trains Online
Adding weathering to the buildings on your model railway layout is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to add realism to your layout. Whilst the level of detail on many plastic and resin model railway buildings such as Hornby’s Skaledale and Bachmann’s Scenecraft ranges is fantastic, they’re often supplied in “Un-Weathered” or Pristine condition. This in itself is fine, but it’s a little un-realistic. Even new buildings and structures become quickly weathered in real life. Therefore, accurately weathering the buildings on your layout is pretty much essential if you want to achieve a good level of realism and to a beginner, this job can seem a little daunting, but it’s really not that hard and it is indeed very inexpensive to do.
Model Scenery: How to build a work camp tent
Build your own Camp Tents for Model Railroads, Civil War Battlegrounds or Role-Playing Games! The instructions and photos given were created in ¼” scale, meaning, ¼” would equal 1 foot in the real world. You can use the same construction process to build in any scale you desire. I use flat boards for my flooring and more solid strips of wood for the main posts and rafters and beam.
i bought these toy soldiers-all 350 of them fro just 130pesos and they are in 1:60ish in scale. for skirts and handbags grenades and body kits.... leather jacket and glenmore shoes

modeling in 1/87
It was recommended to me years ago when I got into this hobby that if I was going to do any of the Jordan Products kits that I do more than one in a row. There's a mindset that one needs to get into when building these little guys. I've found that it does help, in fact, to stay with the flow. These are inexpensive injected molded plastic kits with a terrific amount of detail for their size. Steam era guys love these models and they've been around for a long time. But building them correctly takes a good deal of patience and a steady hand (lay off the coffee for the day).

Covered Bridge Tutorial Traces Scratch Building project
It is hard to believe it is 55 years ago when this bridge (the prototype) first came to my attention out in a field near Route 15 just outside Wolcott, VT. Frankly, at 15, I wasn’t very impressed with this unimposing structure on the way to the beach at Lake Elmore. Funny how after half a century it now becomes the focus of a scratch built N-Scale structure of a central section of the St.
Tabletop Terrain - War Gaming and Modeling for Pulp, Warhammer, Mordheim and Flames of War » FOW: 15mm Zeltbahn Tent Variants
I sculpted the first one of these 15mm Zeltbahn tent masters way back in late 2005 and they’ve been kicking around my garage since then. Although I’m supposed to be painting Panzers I felt like doing a little sculpting so finished off two variants of the original tent this week. One of the variants open on the other side, and the other is sculpted in two parts to represent an open sided tent. The idea is to cut a couple of thin pieces of 0.8mm wires and use them as poles to support the open side.
This example shows how to weather a Bachmann '00' Stone engine shed by brushing on the liquid. Brushing on weathering liquid is a completely different technique to that of airbrushing. When airbrushing, the liquid is quite dry when it hits the model which means that several coats can be built up one on top of the other.

Again the terrainpieces have to be heavy because I want them to sink to the ground when I use them on my fur mat . So I used again plaster to do the bases. I also added some of my stone walls for three of the pieces. I mixed up the plaster with less water and put the wet material on a sheet of polysteren. I pressed some real small stones into the wet plaster and let the pieces dry. First I tried to sprinkle sand on the the surface, but the plaster dries to soon and the sand didn't adhere enough.
WIP - hedgerows

Pardulon - Resin Models & Terrain
Many dollhouse miniature and scale model projects need copies of original parts. Two part silicone mold putty can be used to make simple flexible molds that will allow casting of a variety of materials, from polymer clay, gesso and plaster to resin and metals. Silicone putty molds withstand reasonable heat. There are food safe forms available if you want to turn your miniature fido into special chocolates using silicone molds! Two part silicone mold putty is the fastest way to make detailed casting molds of miniature parts. It is often used for repeating items made from polymer clay or various casting metals.

Lots of scale scenes could use a simple stone wall, or a stone finish on a simple building. These instructions show you how to use various supports and model all kinds and colors of stone walls from dense insulation foams, florist's foam or styrofoam beadboard, and various protective and paintible coatings. The durability of the piece will depend on the coating you protect the foam with, as well as how much handling the piece must endure. Although foam can easily be made into stone for walls, model horse jumps or buildings, or left to free fall down mountain terrains in railroad scenes, you may prefer more structured modelled stones from plaster, clay or paper clay. Instructions for using modelling materials to make stone finishes are given in this tutorial using paperclay to make a faux stone foundation for a porch on a rustic cottage. I've tried to give a number of methods in the following pages for creating walls and stone buildings from a range of materials.
