15mm Bridge and Ruined Temple

Two more terrain pieces I managed to complete over the Easter weekend. Firstly, a 15mm bridge which I purchased from Baueda:


















This is a very nice three-part model and includes some nice detail, conveying the impression of a bridge built by an army while on campaign:


















I also purchased the additional expansion section which, when added, turns it into a long bridge which should be enough to cover most scenarios:


















I also completed a ruined temple from Forged in Battle, comprised of a mixture of resin and metal components. Another nice model which I blockcoated in a Foundry sand colour and to which I then applied an ink wash and three successively lighter dry brush applications. As I was doing this the thought crossed my mind that I probably could have just gone down to the local aquarium shop and purchased something from there instead, but I was pleased with the overall result:




































I'll probably end up incorporating this into a larger middle-eastern built-up terrain piece more suitable for use in DBMM. I have a few more Forged in Battle buildings in mind for this and will be making a start on this once I completed a few elements of Spanish cavalry.

      Thanks Phil, it is a lovely piece and surprisingly easy to paint up.

    While the ruined temple is a great piece, my eye is caught by the sight of the bridge. Marvelous piece. The pilings driven into the riverbed look freshly hewn and the lashings look freshly lashed. A bridge built on the move, for sure. Very convincing brushwork on both!

      Thanks Jonathan. I'm a big fan of the Baueda range and have a few more of their terrain pieces I'm hoping to complete over the coming months.

    Very nice additions to your terrain collection Lawrence. You are possibly correct about the aquarium option but the ruined temple looks wonderful.

      Thanks Keith, the thought struck me about halfway through, along with the thought that a model from an aquarium shop would probably also be much cheaper!

    Great work Lawrence. I like that bridge - very reminiscent of one that Hinchliffe made in 25mm and served me well for many years. Actually the fish tank idea is a good one...I need some Egyptian ruins.

      Cheers Mark. I wish I had your skills at scratch-building terrain. Baueda also have some very nice Egyptian models which I am looking for an excuse to purchase at some stage.

      Thanks Peter, it is a nicely conceptualised piece. I wish Baueda had a larger range as everything I have purchased from them has been very nice.

    Nice temple,but the bridge is excellent,both well finished, it's just the bridge conveys the hastily built story really well!

      Thanks Iain. Yes, I think it was that quality that first attracted me to this model. I have enough stone bridges, but this looks like something that would have been thrown together by an army on campaign.

    Both are excellently done but the bridge is my favourite!
