Making a 10mm Village base

[sam scott]

Started work on the 1st village base.  Sketched out the arrangement of buildings on a sheet of styrene:



Timecast buildings laid out.  The walled churchyard is strip styrene.



The WIP village with a WIP battalion of French line infantry marching through.



Progress on the base and church





just add shrubbery...





...and Austrians

Good stuff, but why does every wargames village have a huge church?

They're compensating for something?

I used the big church because this base is supposed to represent a more substantial town.  I will be making another base to represent a smaller village that will feature a much more modest chapel.

I should have mentioned that buildings are from Timecast's 6mm ranges.

Super work, Sam. Are your buildings fixed or removable?

[goat major]

that looks fantastic. The churchyard is a very nice touch.

do you get any warpage problems with the styrene ?

[Leman]

Very eye-catching! Timecast buildings are excellent.

Finished the 1st, larger village base:













The buildings are all Timecast from their 6mm range.  6mm buildings look better with the groundscale of 10mm Napoleonics, IMO.

We'll see how it goes with warpage on the styrene.  For the time being, the buildings are fixed, but we'll see how long that lasts.
