I decided to make a bridge, as I will need a few to make crossing rivers easy. I’m going to make an alternate design with sides as well.


Another small house – this time one that has seen some war damage.


A small walled plot. Ideal for offer infantry cover and making it hard going to tracked vehicles.



All of my recent paper terrain together. The beginnings of a complete table!

I’m working on an interpretation of one of these buildings at the moment, and will be working on another shortly.

Now that I’ve seen Crac des Chevaliers Basing Tutorial, I’d been keen to give it another bash. Though having said that, I’d have to get back into painting 15mm first! Check out the tutorial here.

Battalion Aid Station is based on historical photographs from the Western Front in 1944 and 1945, after the Normandy Invasion on D-Day.

Whilst the black and white photos give the work the feeling of authenticity, it’s in the colour photo that you can start too see the amount of work put into this amazing Lego diorama. For even more detail, check out Dunechaser’s Flickr set here.
