Terrain For Leipzig: Part 7

I've spent the past few weeks expanding my collection of terrain items for Leipzig. The latest batch includes a townhouse, a bridge, some brick walls, an update on an older building and some trees and plowed fields (the trees and fields will feature in a future blog entry). 


The townhouse is an MDF kit from Sarissa Precision; their East European Townhouse. I upgraded the roof a wee by by adding strips of styrene to cover the seems and giving the appearance of a metal roof.

The base is scribed Foamex over MDF 


The bridge was actually started a couple of years ago; one of three that I had bought for Wagram (see here). It is also a Sarissa Precsion kit.


Even with the width trimmed down, it still strikes me as a bit over-sized for 15mm.


The brick walls are from Fenris Games. Really wonderful resin casts; I have been very pleased with everything I have bought from Fenris. These came with a bit of minor warpage - you can see in the photos how there is a gap at the top of the wall from the warping - but nothing that can't be hidden with strategically placed vegetation.


They are actually for 28 mm but the sculpting is fine enough that they work for 15mm if you don't look too close. 


The only thing that is a bit a disappointing is that Fenris do not make gate posts for these walls; I will have to make some as I think they would make good walls for the city of Leipzig.


Although time consuming to paint, very satisfying and I am happy with the result. 


I scratch built this church from Foamex for Wagram but I didn't have enough time to do the paint job I usually like to do. 


Plowed fields and autumn trees up next.
