Custom Terrain for rivet wars.

[Maschinenpriester]

I've started making handmade terrain pieces for rivet wars, which I want to share with you.
These are the first terrain pieces I ever made until now.
So advice on how to improve for my next pieces is very appreciated.

I have started with the Bunkers, followed by the SOs.
Tank traps, barbed wire and mines are in the making.
I am also having plans on a board in the future.
So just tell me what you think.

The Bunkers:

The SOs

I've been experimenting with rust effects and some other basic tecniques on the SOs. I've been mixing 3 types of sand with some soil for the mud. All is painted with cheap acrylics. Exept of the rusty Parts. I used GW Colours for them. All is made from polystyrene.

I am thinking bout making the mud glossy to make it look more wet. And I will probably add a little static grass tufts to some spots. Im not sure about the colour thugh. Probably some "winter" grass.

Fraid I have no advice, and it's clear you don't need mine, these are awesome mate, its so good to see others have a crack at rivet wars terrain, I love how it forces you to work within strict dimensions, but in a style/setting that means you can make whatever.
Can't wait to see what you come up with for scenery that's not based on the original pieces, love the brackets on the SO's, the mud looks ACS, wish I could paint like you : )
Keep them coming

Thanks for your reply and the kind words. =)
For the bunkers I just orientated on the Diorama which all of you might know well.
At the moment I don't have plans for different terrain pieces than those neede for the current cenatios.
Probably I will make a radiotower in the end. I'm really yealous about your landing crafts. Probably I will give thos a try too in the future.
But so far the roadmap is:
-> 6 Bunkers (Check)
-> 6 SOs (check)
-> 8x Barbed wire (WIP)
-> 6 Tank Traps (WIP)
-> 6 Mine fields (As soon as I get the Batteries I need from a 99 ct./ 1€ shop)
After that:
-> Painting the Miniatures (I'm kind of afraid of that...) =D
-> Board (But not this year probably)
-> Magnetizing the minis + terrain pieces
-> Transportation box in Ammunition box style
-> Other stuff (Radio Tower; Boats; etc...)
-> More bunkers / SOs / etc... (For bigger boards)

I will keep you updated on new stuff but at the moment I don't have much time on beeing creative unfortunately. =(

Oh yeah I forgot... And I am trying to make everything as multifunctional as possibkle. So that it canalso be used for WH40k (My little brother plays that) but that is really difficult in some cases because the rivetes are waay shorter than marines etc..

Great work!

Sorry it's taken me a few days to reply - lost my login details. The SOs are really cool with their flag poles.

I can't believe these are your first attempt at terrain! They've come out really good!
