I took a little break from painting BMG for a bit. The fourth edition of Flames of War came out recently. FoW has to be the the game I have bought and painted the most stuff for but have played it the least. Something I plan on rectifying this year. And the people at Battlefront miniatures are making it easy. You can trade in your last edition rule book at your local shop for a free copy of the 4th edition. I like a company that rewards their veteran players (plus if someone does not have to spend the money on new rules, they can buy more toys!).While I am working my way through the rule book I decided to finish up a piece of terrain I built a long time ago. The very first post I wrote on this blog was about building some Flames of War buildings. Many of my early entries followed the progress of those buildings. About two years ago I started on a new piece. I wanted to improve on those initial buildings by adding more detail to them. I used a brick pattern plastic card for the walls. To save the time of cutting out the shingles I used some pre-textured card as well for the roof.
Then, for various reasons, it sat on the shelf, primed but unpainted. Until this weekend that is. Over all I am happy with the result. By using the A-frame technique that I used on the Lucky Duck booth, I think I can improve even more on future buildings.
