Thanks so much for the very kind comment. ...Graeme,<br />Thanks so much for the very kind comment. The blog was started for, and continues for, me to offer any help I can to wargaming friends like you. I wanted to try and tell people how I went about building terrain, both the successes and the pitfalls, and the things which go wrong(and yes, there's been quite a few of the latter!!). That then grew to letting people know about the projects at my local club, and then painting, then then.....well, things developed from there. But at its heart its always going to be about passing on any hints and tips I can to people in exactly your position! Not that I'm an expert, not that my (blundering and experimental) way's the right one - it just gets me where I'm trying to get to, and anything I can offer about the journey, you're very welcome to it! <br />Many thanks and all the best!!

That alone makes this a terrain-making benchmark of the highest order.<br />I have about 100 figures to prep and paint and your terrain blog will be my principle source of reference for when I get the terrain making stage.<br />Thank you for sharing another amazing Great War project.<br />Regards, GraemeGraeme in Ausnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-43073799379832953042012-07-11T10:01:32.463+01:002012-07-11T10:01:32.463+01:00Bovington was great, thanks Mike.

Terrain making is a different hobby in many ways, compared to figure painting. But although it takes longer (and never, ever seems to end!), on the whole I think it's easier than painting, say, 28mm artillery. However, thank you again for the comment!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-50368810372603152002012-06-27T15:36:41.704+01:002012-06-27T15:36:41.704+01:00Thanks Christopher!
