Shell holes, say sized between 1 penny and 2 pence pieces.

and 10cm x 10cm fields, some ploughed and some with waist high wheat. Or do them a size that allows them to be mated with your walls and hedges.

Small shell holes (10-30mm diameter in loose clusters) and a couple of bigger ones 30-50mm would be handy as markers & as covering terrain, although they're relatively easy to make!

Haystacks / hay ricks etc would be handy.
Shell holes too.

With some of the stuff that already exists as individual metal items (such as boxes) it would be handy to have larger piles of them in resin, to act as terrain. Whereas the metal ones are more useful to add to vehicles or bases to give a bit of character.

Good evening!!
an idea not very cheerful, but that would be very helpful with the walls for example,
- tombs to cemetery
- A small chapel
- a well
- A watering hole
- A city fountain
- Barriers of different types
- High hedges like Norman Boccage
- Rubble elements to put against a ruined house
- The stack of cut wood or tree trunk for our forests

surely more to come for ideas ......

Cut wood stacks already exist, produced last year to help reproduce the Swiepwald battle of 1866, and they are beautiful!

Maybe Leon could stock a couple of these?:








They are from ironclad and work just great for 10 mm. Labeled as 'small craters'/ They have big craters too, but didn't get those.

Resin cactus would be good. Both the giant Arizona types and prickly pear.

Lengths of something that looks like 'snake rail' fence would be a real go'er for ACW...needn't be too high or perfect...(rails taken for firewood/battered down, etc.)...just the effect of a fence.

Small bog pools...pools surrounded by 'reedy' edging. Could be scattered to indicate boggy ground rather than the defined marsh areas available elsewhere.

Generic foxholes...empty to allow cut down troops to be inserted or left abandoned.

We've been chatting about rail fences for some time now, but they're a pain to do in resin.  John at Ironclad is working on some test pieces so once we've got something robust enough for retail, we'll let everyone know.

Easy if tedious to make - using match sticks.

In 10mm scale? You must use really really thin matches...

I can well imagine. But you have to get it right.* It may be an over simplification but if Total Battle Miniatures could make 10mm versions of their 6mm ones, problem solved?

Anyway, I have a good number of photographic examples of rail fences from the various Civil War battlefields I have visited. Unfortunately, I am a dunderhead when it comes to posting photos on the Forum from my MacBook but if you or John would like me to e-mail these examples, please drop me a PM and I will be happy to do so.

* I have seen some home-made ones from cocktail sticks and the like - a lot of people are taken in by them but frankly, they are almost laughable, and, having seen the 'real' thing (reconstructions actually), I never have the heart (badness?) to point out how wrong they are.
