Good start, Andy. Need some idea of size (a coin, matchbox, 10mm figure etc. alongside)  :)

Hi there Hertsblue it never occurred to me to put a figure to represent the scale, I have now included a picture so you can see the scale.

It's a big old piece of kit, then. Is that hardboard you're using?  :-\

Looking good 8). Have you decided about rubble yet i know some people use cat litter and i think your going to need a fair bit. Also will it be later on in the Stalingrad battle i.e snow? Looking forward to see how they turn out  :)

It's going to be a pretty impressive suite of buildings once it's done. Good job so far.  8)

As for the scale of the bananas I'll leave that entirely up to you?

The rubble will be a mixture of cat litter and N gauge track ballast

The reason the workspace is extremely tidy is because it's the wife's table, mine is not a tidy.

Hi everyone
                I have now textured the bases with Polycell Textured Ceilings Course Effect and Polycell Multi Purpose Polyfilla

My only comment would be that you can save some dosh by buying ready-mixed filler from Poundland for...um...a pound  :) Cheaper than 'proper' Polyfilla & just as good - I'd recommend mixing a touch of sand in [for more depth of texture] as well as some PVA [to help seal it & give it further protection from the rigours of gaming]

Looking good though - these will look top-notch once they're done  :)

Hi everyone
                Ok I have now added a few more details some doors and removable roofs, I am still undecided as to whether to add more roofing material, anyway here's the pictures.

Does Pendraken do oil drums? And if so do you have a picture

Thanks Nick for the heads up on the Polyfilla from poundland that should saved me a few pound. :)

You're welcome  :)

As for your roof sections - I think some crossbeams here & there, maybe some corners still on & rubble in the centre of the buildings (where they've collapsed in) would be good - otherwise everything might look too 'empty'?

Hi everyone
To be honest not much progress, work family etc has all got in the way.  Anyway I have now added more roofing material, rubble, and done a little bit of painting.  However I am hoping to finish these over the weekend fingers crossed.

I totally agree with you about the buildings looking empty

Looking great,
for internal detritus:
Mix a tub of sharp sand and fine gravel, a few spent matches and cut off flash/spures spares, pour in, drizzle with PVA, leave for 48 hours, spray & highlight...

Practise in something else first so you don't trash your work!

I tend to agree with you Barbarian, I tend to think of Stalingrad as covered in snow but the 6th Army first arrived at the end of the summer so then the grass is okay :)

Very nice. I can already picture Snipers lurking and troops moving and stumbling through rock coverd streets.

Good thing about that terrain is it can be used for lots of different settings, as well as Starlingrad.
