More 28mm scratch built North African (Tunisian) buildings for WW2
Following my last post, here are the latest scratch built additions to my World War Two North African village.
First up is a well - very easy to make, a donut of Miliput attached to a piece of MDF , followed by three sharpened pieces of wooden cooking skewer glued together and o the base using a impact adhesive. This was all covered in sharp sand and painted as per my last blog entry.

Next up is another single story dwelling, made exactly the same as those featured in my last entry. The only difference being the sheltered porch. This was simply made using pieces of wooden cooking skewers. The material used to make the covering came from an old pair of my wife's tights, which I painted with Citadel Tallarn Sand.
This picture shows the other addition, shutters for the window, which I made from thin MDF. This was scored and painted in my usual style.

28mm sctratch built Tunisian or North African buildings for WW2
That's right folks, the summer holidays are here, so I reappear on the painting scene.
I have been working on a 28mm World War Two North Africa project on and off for a while now. The pictures below are of five scratch built buildings.
The buildings are made from foam board and MDF. The buildings were clad in a mixture of PVA glue and sharp sand (remember basetex?) which I applied using a plastic spatula. The base itself was covered in watered down PVA and scattered with sharp sand.
The roofs and doors were all made from thin MDF which I then scored with a pointed file to create individual planks.
The paint scheme is based upon the Tunisian village of Sidi Bou, where every building is painted white and all the doors and shutters painted blue. I used a combination of Citadel, Vallejo and B&Q tester paints.
To complete the models I added clump foliage to represent a kitchen garden on two models and weeds. I also used dry grass spots to represent weeds.
Next on the table are a few more buildings and a well.
