I am very happy to say I will not be up late Thursday night, struggling to finish the terrain for next weekend's convention game Friday evening, as I have managed to finish this project well ahead of time!
With the panels done, I just had to make some emplacements to represent the Russian redoubts and a few vineyards.
The redoubts were made with 15 mm gabions from Maverick Models and Evergreen Styrene strips, buttressed with insulation foam and then textured with a mix of ballast, sand and sanded grout.
The vineyards were fairly straight forward: Bachman Wire Foliage Branches in medium green, gently pulled apart laterally to give the impression of growing along an arbor.
I wish I had ordered more gabions. They are perfect and I could have made a proper, well fortified redoubt.
My Battlefield Accessories buildings will do for the village of Bourliouk:
The northern edge of the battlefield from which the British will assault the heights.
From the behind the redoubts, where the Russian reserve will wait:
Just a little more tidying up and we will be ready for Friday evening.
