Tablescape new release - Mid East Ramparts

 Tablescapes lastest release is a town gate which compliments their Middle Eastern range.

Designed for 28mm it is shown here with some of my Gripping Beast Moors so you can get an indication of size. The piece is approximately 150mm wide and about 120mm tall. It has a non opening entrance gate in an Arabic style and a dressed stone texture.

On the reverse is a platform capable of holding figures. The figures in the photo are based for Impetus and are on a 120mm x 40mm piece of 3mm MDF. As can be seen steps are represented to allow access to the ramparts.






Tablescape terrain is ready painted and in this case is painted in light sand tones to represent the different shades of dress edrock. It is made from a light weigth polyeurothane foam which won't shatter like standard resin castings. A 150mm straight section of wall is also available in the same colour scheme. Corner pieces and/or towers are also planned.
I have also experimented with a red colour scheme to suit Indian style fortresses. It will be available on the Tablescape stand at Warfare in November 2015.

Belated Christmas present

Period: ECW
Scale: 28mm
Subject: Horses, coach and 4 figures
Manufacturer: Redoubt Enterprises
Date: 6th May, 2013
Method: Black under coat, Foundry's 3 pot painting system, Coat D'Arms matt varnish

This was a belated Christmas present for my friend Gary. I purchased three of these sets from Redoubt at Warfare (2012) for a sale price of £20 each. I have already painted another one in similar colours for Noel's Christmas present and the third is for myself. As I am now bored with painting them, my one wont probably get finished and will join the bare metal army.
There was a little cleaning up of the carriage but otherwise construction was straight forward. Figures are nicely animated and easy to paint. I copied the light blue livery off Redoubts example.
Redoubt Enterprises great coach.

I used aluminium tomato paste tube cut 3mm wide for the suspension straps for the carriage. These are fastened to the four up right posts by the ball ornament acting as a pin through them. They are essential in holding the coach body steady. Being weighty gluing the body to chassis alone wont suffice.





I think I should have added reins and harness.
