Gotta start somewhere, so first up here's a group photo of my Martians.
Not one is fully painted yet, to my shame. I keep dithering over what I want. The poor Overseer. I spent countless hours cleaning it all up, put it together and then too casually put it in a bag and broke two legs.

Next is all of my "4Ground" Buildings. ( I think )  This is just out for display, not from a game. |

I have started on some terrain. So I'll show these now. One I am happy with, although its not quite finished is this swamp / pond    The push pins are so I can keep inserting "reeds" through holes from the other side without damaging what is already done.
There are more bits but no where near as complete

Next up is a pile of Trees for a forest on 75mm Hexs.    The Trees are bits of an old XMas tree (free), the Hex's cut from 3mm Plastic card from retail signs (again free) So its only the spray paint for the Hex's and the cheap superglue that has cost me for these. And there are so many more trees to plant. Some other plans are for a look-out post in a tree top and tank paths. Probably even some ambush sites camouflaged in the tree line etc |

To date the biggest Terrain project is the Human Wall / Fortress. Made from High density foam, plastic card and cardboard. I'll probably make only one of these which is a Command Tower despite earlier plans to make several.   The wall sections are either 200mm or 180mm wide and I've made joining sections with differing angles to be able to bend the shape.    I've made differing plinths to sit on the wall sections to enable different forces to be staged in defence   And the inside bits will house transport vehicles and maybe tanks.  I'll probably deepen out the inside of the section bases like this and finish of the rear of the pillars like this one.  |

I do have this cemetery from 4Ground buildings but it didn't stick properly to the plastic card base so it has to be re-done

That's a long trip for you BigWally.

So the started list inclludes these (and they do exist) I've just lost whatever pics I've taken

All good stuff! Thanks for the many pics.
Is that a Spartan Games miniature in your Martian stuff?

jmccarrollThanks. Now I know what those minis are. I didn't have a clue before. So Yes they are Spartan Dystopian Minis. I have the bigger one somewhere as well
