Last year I discovered the cast resin terrain produced by Mark IV Miniatures. I also like to paint, so breaking up modelling little tanks and soldiers with some miniature real estate projects makes for a nice change to hobbying routine. FOW offers a fine line of pre-painted buildings but I find them to be a bit on the expensive side and toy-like. All that said, let’s take a European tour in miniature…Īny small town or rural tabletop Western European battlefield needs buildings - barns, houses, shops and cafes - not only for visual appeal, but to provide covering positions and even possible objectives during game play. To date, my FOW gaming has focused on the European Western Front, so the vast majority of my terrain focuses on buildings and other features appropriate for France, the Low Countries and Western Germany. One of the many benefits of belonging to a club like Metropolitan Wargamers in Brooklyn, NY is the opportunity to share in our massed collections of terrain and create some pretty impressive-looking games.Īs a longtime miniatures hobbyist with a passion for scale modelling, I wanted to share a quick round up of the current state of my 15mm terrain collection I use for Flames of War. I find myself somewhere in the middle of all three categories, and I feel my level of personal investment in my terrain modelling is reflective of this. Modelling terrain, like any aspect of miniatures wargaming, has to take into account the three main factors of skill, budget and time commitment. With that, I’m increasingly being asked questions about the make of my models, where I buy them and how I achieve some of the other rerrain modelled in my games. Fellow players have been universally complimentary on the layout of my terrain used in my scenarios. I’ve had a lot of great feedback from the past year of posting after action reports for Flames of War games.
