This week I painted & based some tall brick walls for 28mm-scale Russian Civil War. These are resin castings from
Fenris Games, & they have incredible detail/texture. If I was being really picky I'd say the individual bricks are
fractionally too small for 28mm scale, but you wouldn't notice unless
you compared a figure to the walls closely. The cap tiles are an optional second piece. The 'snow' is ready-mix filler &
Gale Force Nine Snow flock, & I mounted the walls on large lolly sticks (bought from a craft store). I snapped one section of wall to create a piece that has been blasted through by a field gun. The paint scheme was inspired by the strong red bricks & colourful tiles that I have seen in photos of impressive Russian buildings.

Now they look rather good, I've been wondering what they might be like painted so good to see them here.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael. I've tried painting brick effects in the past but never achieved the result that I was after. I'm very pleased with these though. I think the quality of the sculpting aided my efforts immensely.
DeleteThey look great.
ReplyDeleteYou hardly notice the brick sizes.
Cheers

Thanks Stuart. Yeah, the texture on the bricks is spot on, & I really like that they are uneven in places. The scale could just be because most wargames figures are chunky 'heroic 28mm' scale rather than 'true scale'...
