Those would be very useful  :-bd

While talking about your resin wishlist what about some meandering small stream pieces with willows/bushes, say 150mm long with the stream itself only 5 - 10mm wide?

You actually discussed this with a female colleague????

Sounds great, would we want the bushes along both sides of the stream?

I recently played some 6mm Cold War games set in Germany, using google earth for maps, and found that streams enclosed by trees/bushes were a common feature. Great for infantry to hide in, and a movement restriction for vehicles, probably impassable for wheeled vehicles.

The river near me has quite prolific hedges and trees, so lots of obscuring cover, plus is usually a meter or 2 below the field is winds through. The banks are steep, so not any kind of vehicle friendly; it would be an ideal obstruction in a 20th century low level game when battalion and below does need to consider this; You can get AFVs up to it to machine gun, but the defenders would just duck until you buggered off - you would need infantry; it would be slow and full of ambushes, but you couldn't ignore it.

Because that was obviously so effective 50 years ago...

I'll add those to the list as well.  The plan is hopefully to bring the resin production up to Pendraken HQ and free up some of John's time to work on making new items for us instead.
www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

If they do I'm struggling to find them.
They do do the varied hedges we were talking about (item 37/008), but can't find any hedge lined streams

;D

PS the Timecast bridges are awesome!

There's nowt wrong with Timecraft stuff but their streams are a bit wide for what I'm after and don't appear to have additional "built in" bushes/trees.

The ones in the picture that I posted have been used on many different battlefields for many years, but are not mine.

Hence my request to Leon, as I would find a few metres worth of similar streams very useful indeed.
