One of the pieces of terrain I repurposed was a bell/church tower I had built for Trench Crusade.

The first thing I did was rip off all the trench crusade bits; the vulture, the wicker fence, the ladder, the oil drum, the wheel…..

I then drybrushed the roof blue, painted the brick work, dry brushed dark terracotta upto an orange, this was then given a very thin glaze of pale sand.

The while model was then given a drybrush of Brianmater Beige, and the base covered in first a placed scattering of Geek Gaming Scenics Base Ready Rugged Field, with the rest being filled in with GGS Base Ready Scrublands.

I wanted this shrine/folly to look returned to nature and desecrated. The skull was fastened on to windows with barbed wire, so I just painted as thorns. I also added these cool twigs, about 10 of them in this patch. These are a recent discovery of mine, I cannot remember what they are called, but I love them. I used super glue, applying lots on bottom where twig connected with base, and then selecting contact points against building to further secure. Once I have given a healthy coat of matt varnish will be quite robust.

On another corner I added ivy, tearing apart a long stem purple flowered shrub, removing most of the purple.Then with a puddle of superglue, pick each piece with tweezers, gently squish on side of stem in puddle the apply to building, working from ground upwards. Pictures of completed model to follow. On another corner I used lichen on a similar way only in larger chunks.
