Defensive Squares, Points and Tank Traps

I've been experimenting with sets of container terrain for use as both complete pieces, based somewhat on my "puzzle" series of terrain.







The first set splits apart into three separate pieces of area terrain, or together forms a "Defensive Square", depicting a hurried defensive position of hastily thrown together cover in an attempt to survive the coming enemy fire.

The tank traps consists of five strips of tank traps and various detail pieces, which can be used together, forming a tank trap field no tank commander would endanger his vehicle in. They can also be broken apart to cover large portions of your battlefield.


Supply Depot

This is a piece based on my "puzzle" series of terrain, using various containers, barrels and boxes to form a complete supply depot, or separate into five pieces for use as area terrain.

Small Bunker w/ Trench

I love adding trench sections to my bunkers, as I think it adds more character and depth to the model, not to mention the extra space for models!






This bunker was constructed a bit short in the back, so I was not able to use one of my complete one piece roof molds. The roof is still removable as one piece. The bunker itself can hold ten normal sized 28mm minis, as well as another 5-10 in the trench section, depending on size.

New Bunkers

I've been working on a series of new bunkers consisting of single wall and roof molds, so that I no longer have to place every single block and glue. This makes it infinitely easier to spend more time on detailing and painting.

Here are two of my single, small bunkers.








These are basic prototypes, without any serious detail added. Both have removable tops, with interior space for miniatures. They have both been airbrushed with an Iwata Neo. Every single color, weather and rust effect were done with the airbrush. I hope to make these effects better as I get more practice with the airbrush!
