Oh yes, it's cornfield time again! I just could not resist making another one for my AWI project, this time a non hex based field but with the same lift out centre section that can accommodate a single base unit for DBAWI. Same plastic product, not cheap at £16.00 but well worth it and I enjoyed making it. The field is 120mm x 80mm so can only really be used one way facing but that's fine on my small table.
I'm busy packing up the Indian wars project ready for collection by Mark hopefully before Christmas but still getting plenty of painting in, another 20 bases of Epic ACW's for Noel with more for Old John next before starting on some of the 3D Dutch Napoleonics units for Stephen so ticking over nicely.

Currently painting some British Artillery for the Sudan project having added more Dervish and Beja troops for the Mahdist army.
Corn looks superb. £16 in the long run is cheaper than all the money spent on various failed attempts at making corn fields unsuccessfully other ways. Plus, my son advises that some people can spend that much on …… a single cocktail!
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, that's a great way of keeping things in perspective! And not just money but also time lost when something does not work out as you had hoped it would, I just felt that for 20 strips of plastic it is possibly a little overpriced but then that's the model railway market for you :)

Those cornfields are just the business, I can understand why you were tempted to make more.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rob, great little product if a touch expensive for 20 plastic strips!

Lovin the cornfields Lee. You decided not to join the Painting Challenge then?
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. I was/am very tempted to have a go!
