2D Silhouette Scenery - Update

 These are pictures taken in better light conditions.

Here is a French infantry brigade with some support.

The artillery battery is occupying a redoubt with some long grass and rough ground nearby.

This infantry Regiment is occupying a 'town' hex.

The Hussars move beyond a wooded area.

The infantry have moved on and the town is now clear.

These are the component pieces of a town area namely a town hall, a church and a castle.

The evaluation period continues.

Let me know if any of this inspires you to think about acquiring a set.

2D Silhouette Scenery - Paintjob

 Here's an early look at painted examples of the Silhouette Scenery.

Apologies for the poor lighting, I hope to get some real sunshine tomorrow.

I think some of the darker areas need more highlighting. Will try this evening.

2D Silhouette Scenery

Here's some work-in-progress pictures of my 2D Silhouette Scenery which I hope to use with my Heroscape tile battlefields and a version of the Portable Wargame.

These are the raw cuts of 2mm MDF scaled for 6mm/10mm.

There are lots of permutations.

Painting is in progress, watch this space.

Lead Rot

 Casualty figures, but not as we know them.

Some figures unable to be restored.

Half a dozen figures from a very old collection (several decades) probably about 1000 figures strong which will have to be binned.

I can't blame the boxing system as the vast majority of the figures are OK.

I can't blame the environment in which the boxes have been kept while in my possession (several years) as I have extensive collections from several decades old to brand new, painted and unpainted, soft plastic, hard plastic, resin, lead and pewter.

I don't recall them showing signs of this when I first took care of them so they must be a recent development. Maybe that is how lead rot works.

Any ideas chaps?
