Modeling guru Nick Davis concludes this series of mode/hg articles by looking at the simple techniques he employs to make walls and hedges. For more Scenery Workshops, check out the Hobby Project pages on our website: www.games-workshop. com

SCENERY HOP
Basic Terrain part 3: Making your own walls and bedges
edges and walls present obstacles which hold a vital defensive value for infantry, as they protect troops from the worst of a cavalry charge and enemy missile fire. They also provide cover for WH4O,000 vehicles which will tend to count as being hull down and therefore add to their survival rate.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE YOUR WALLS:

Corrugated cardboard Thick card or hardboard for basing Thin cardboard (cereal packet card) Coarse textured paint Green flock Citadel paints: Goblin Green, Snakebite Leather, Red Gore & Skull White White glue & masking tape

to make good-looking hedges and walls with the minimum of effort! As with all our modeling projects, you are going to need a large, flat area for you to do your modeling on. A couple of layers of newspaper to protect against spillage would be a good idea, and if you do any heavy cutting I suggest you use a piece of wood or a cutting board (available from craft shops) to protect the tables surface.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SCRATCH BUILD YOUR HEDGES:

Steel wool Thick card or hardboard for basing Green flock Citadel paint: Goblin Green White glue & spray mount glue

Hedges and walls are currently available from the Citadel scenery range (available from GW stores and GW Mail Order). You can also represent hedgerows using lichen, which is available from most model stores. In this, the last of our look at basic scenery modeling, Ill show you how

MAKING WALLS
1. Cut out a hardboard or thick card base to 180mm by 30mm. Cut the wall sections out of the corrugated cardboard 180mm long and 20mm tall. Using white glue, attach the wall to the center of the base (I used thin corrugated card here so glued two pieces together before attaching it to the base).

3. Paint the wall with textured paint

(try to leave the flagstones uncovered though). Once dry, spray the entire wall with Chaos Black. You can then drybrush it Snakebite Leather followed by Skull White. To finish off, paint the base Goblin Green.

WHERE TO STARTS
I recommend you read through this article thoroughly before building anything. Please remember that this is only a guide gleaned from my experiences feel free to experiment and try your own ideas.

SCRATCH-BUILT HEDGES
1.Cut out a 180mm by 30mm base from hardboard or thick card. Glue a length of steel wool to the base using white glue. Ideally the height of the wool comes up to the waist of a Citadel Miniature.

FOR BOTH PROJECTS YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS:

Large drybrush, undercoat brush, 1/2 paint brush, cutting mat, steel ruler, modeling knife, cutter, clippers & pen

2. Cover the base with watered

4. Now drybrush the stones and the

tiles on top of the wall with Red Gore. Follow this directly with a lighter covering of Snakebite Leather. To give your walls that finishing touch, cover the base with watered down white glue and sprinkle flock over it.

down white glue and then add flock to it.

2. Cover the ends of the wall with masking tape. Cut a strip of thinner card to 180mm by 10mm then cut this strip into smaller pieces (about 1cm in length) and glue them in a row across the top of the wall. Add a couple of pieces of card to the wall itself to represent flagstones.

3. In a well-ventilated room or outside, cover the steel wool with spray mount. Pour flock over the wool (in this case I used a darker green flock to lift the hedges from the base). Leave for ten minutes, then shake off the excess flock.
Your walls are ready for the battlefield!
