15mm Field Boundry Walls

I've been working on some 15mm resin walls that I picked up at Rampage earlier in the year. Actually I had the short sections (90mms) from an even earlier show and bought the longer walls (170mm) at this years show. They came unpainted and unbased but were pretty cheap. I think the whole lot cost me less than £5:00.

All the walls needed to be based because they would not stand up on their own. I cut strips of thick plasticard and trimmed with a pair of modelling clippers. All the edges were then filed smooth. The walls were glued on to the base using epoxy resin with some added gravel for texture. Painting and static grass were then added as standard.   

The finished walls (including gates) come to about 1.7m of wall and should be very useful on the game table.

  3. That's a good set for £5.00 and you've done a decent job on them BL. Are you planning on adding any gates?

  5. I was going to make some gates using offcuts of rectangular sprue but all the stuff I have is round sprue! I need to either buy some gates of a suitable size or get some other materials to make gates with.

  6. Very nice walls Lee. The path/road ways through them is a cool idea.

  7. Just found another one of the long sections (170mm) lurking down the side of my painting desk. It didn't take long to paint it up and flock the base like the others. Including the gate sections this means I have nearly 2m of walls for the games table. I think that will suffice for now!

Thank you for leaving a comment. I always try to reply as soon as I can, so why not pop back later and continue the conversation. In the meantime, keep rolling high!
