Here's some stuff I completed for the Cassinga game just before flying out to Italy. Today I've added a second coat of varnish to the soggy bits. There are nine two-foot square terrain boards in total - three are connected by a river, while two more have a soggy river-bed with ponds, three have trenches and one has a drainage ditch - only one of them is devoid of features. They will eventually get a dry-brush with white and flock and bushes added:
I've made another two-dozen trees from Woodland Scenics armatures and a mixture of foliage-mesh and foliage clusters. Instead of using MDF bases, I've this time used sewing needles, heated with a candle and shoved up the trunk, so that the trees can then simply be 'stabbed' into polystyrene terrain:
Some African buildings by Peter Pig, which will represent the more solid buildings of Cassinga. The colours are fairly typical for Angola, if Google is to be believed:
I need a walled cemetery for Cassinga, so I've used Peter Pig walls and gravestones by Magister Militum. This could just as easily be a cemetery in Normandy, so will come in handy for future games:
I need a Cessna 185 air observation post. This is a very nice 3D print of a Cessna 172 by Shapeways - it'll have the tricycle undercarriage replaced by a tail-dragged arrangement, thus turning it into a 185:
Some Vietnam artillery position by Timecast, which will become Angolan AAA positions:
