15mm Museum minatures

http://www.museumminiatures.co.uk/ This is the web site of the 15mm minatures I bought from. It's mostly medieval models but it does have some great on the side stuff as pictured.  The biggest problem with the site is they don't have pictures for everything so some of the stuff is a stab in the dark. It is all well cast though.

Breakthrough in Bretislava

Feast your eyes upon this board :

This marks the christening of Bretislava. Lothlann and Pripyat played breakthrough on this marvelous board this week as part of our Tier 3 Escalation league. I (CA$H) was on hand as War Correspondent and recoded all the action.

**CAUTION**  Huge amount of pics!

'Bretislava' City Board for Flames of War

My goal here was to make a FoW city board quickly and cheaply with three modular 2x4 sections that could line up in a variety of ways.  I had some experience making cheap cobblestone so I decided to revisit those methods I used a few years ago.  I bought cheap polystyrene 'cracked ice' light panels and painted them up to look like cobblestone.

Cracked Ice Texture

This time around I decided to cut them into roads, glue them on mdf board and texture the exposed board where the buildings would go.  The 'Bretislava' name was coined by Matt Varnish based on the WWPD Stevograd initiative.  Pseudo-tutorial after the break...
