Although my first few posts (since returning to blogging) have been about my super heroes, one of my main projects is to create a town/city terrain that can be a setting for a few game ideas I have.  One of my (very!) early blog entries was about painting zombies, which I went on to finish - I will post pics at some point.  With these I hope to play some games of 'all things zombies' by twohourwargames.  Having 70 or so zombies is all well and good but I also needed survivors and a set of terrain.  I recently played out a solo game of superheroes and realised that although the buildings looked good, there was too much empty space.  so I set out to create some cover other than big buildings.
first up was a small memorial park.
the following pictures go step wise through the construction process.

The basis was a square of mdf and plasticard beds.  The level of the beds was raised with card inserts.

As the terrain road tiles I am using are from Stoetzels paper buildings I printed paving and brickwork to clad the floor and walls. The beds were given a layer of hot glue and then pva and sand to create the soil surface.

The sand was inked when dry and plants/ vegetation attached.

 Next benches were constructed from balsa wood and more plasticard and card used to create the centre piece.  The figure is an old foundry Victorian gentlemen figure that I had spare and the shields are from empire knights (games workshop)

 The benches were inked green and glued in place.

lastly, the centre piece was painted bronze, given a green wash and highlighted while the stone plinth was given coats of grey.

Overall I'm quite pleased with how it worked out.  It does what I set out to do and that is to provide a piece of terrain that creates cover in an open area.  Even more pleasing was that it was made entirely out of bits and pieces I had to hand so in effect cost nothing to build (wargamer's logic on display a bit there!)
I have a few more ideas for battlefield clutter and so will be making a few more bits and pieces soon.
