About the Project
I love making and using terrain that is themed to my armies. Some time ago, okay years ago, I collected the pieces to make forest sections for my Undead terrain collection though they would work for a number of tables. Then other things became priorities and the project was set aside. Spring Cleaning Challenge you say? Now I have to finish them! Okay, that went quickly so I'm expanding this to all kinds of terrain with trees and foliage. Got lots of flowers to use.

Now for bigger trees
My experiment in planters went well so I will have to make more of those or go “shopping in the garage” for other suitable containers. Until then there are courts, plazas, sidewalks, and parks to garden not to mention the stately homes of the Ash and Oak membership.
I have two identical trees that look highly manicured and maintained so thought they would be the perfect choices for my next experiment; trees in planted beds.
Foam discs for building up the planted beds and roots of the wire trunked trees.
Used an X-Acto knife to trim the foam before gluing onto some of my wooden discs.
Golden's Course Pumice Gel is applied all over...
... then painted in layers of brown. I decided against flocking them as I like the look of moist earth for the planted beds.
Glued the trees in place, clipping the wire that protruded from the bottom.
"Planted" colorful annuals around the perimeter...
... and another step in beautifying my neighborhoods.Fountains
I received a pair of fountains with the Mantic Terrain Crate Kickstart rewards. I was never sure what I was going to use them for until I started this little Urban Renewal project. I glued them to wooden discs before painting them. Simple but effective. Some environmental shots next time as the collection is really coming together though I’m not sure why everything seems to be in pairs.
Statues… I need some statues…
Painted them in whites though that blue needs toning down.
So I Found Some Statues
So I went shopping in my Unpainted Minis closet and found two statues in the Reaper Bones 4 Kickstart rewards. I had forgotten they existed so was super excited to find alternative versions of them in ruins. Double Score!
To fit in with my Wolsung – Moderns terrain collections I decided they would look best as bronzes plus it works so perfectly with their fantasy Hoplite theme. The ruined ones are for another time. The initial gallery is Work In Progress shots while the individual pictures are the finished pieces. I forgot to add a figure for scale so will have to remedy that soon.
Such a nice looking pair.It All Comes Together.
Before the statues were rediscovered I took some pictures of the new terrain setup with some of my Wolsung collection. I really like how much color and texture is added not to mention cover from terrain and places to set objective counters. I’ve taken pictures with and without minis to focus on the feel of the scenes and must say that I am rather liking them and will add some of these to the Wolsung Project Blog.

Wonder if Necron099 has room in his backyard to set up a game…
This way, please.
Tea Break
Checking the tomatoes on the roof garden.
Looks ready to game on.
What pleasant city park to stroll through.
I really like the color added by the flowers and trees.
Early morning, the neighborhood isn't quite awake yet.
Almost feels like dusk... almost.
