To go with my Flames of War desert buildings I have started making some terrain for my North African games.  |

Kerr & King in the UK have some nice desert 15mm buildings that are usable for AQ. All the removable roofs I received were warped but it was easy to make new ones with from styrene. Crescent Root is back in business with textured mdf buildings versus their old cast products and have a good looking 15mm desert line, including a variety of fortifications.

North African and Southwestern US architecture and terrain are similar enough that you can get away with using a lot of terrain for both.
Southwestern US has more vegetation, and the famous saguaro cactus.
I believe red weed is very happy in either location.

I was fortunate to pickup all of the MBD 15mm desert buildings. With those and the 'Administration' building (read two very large ruins) and the Sawmill, Southern Plantation, and other timbered buildings, I've got a very nice selection of my so called 'hardware' stuff. With all the Paper Terrain for my 'software' terrain, I'm pretty well set for all things AQ |

Just need to find the right wash now  |

I would suggest a very light, almost white, flat tan wash. That would tend toward sun-fading and dust accumulation from the desert environment.

North Africa was known for being featureless, not flat. As such, it was kinda boring. I'm all for adding visual interest even if it's not completely historical.
I'd suggest a drybrush of khaki (dust) followed by a wash of dark brown, finished by a second dry-brush of khaki mixed with a little yellow for highlights.

How big are your sand bags? The proportions are really nice.
