I just started making myself a one off terrain piece for my junkers, then a thought occured…

Is it something you would be interested in buying?
If so I can make it mould / casting friendly and sell them.

It is a Junker lookout tower made from am up-ended Hex2Go container.

Here is a rough WIP:

Done a tiny bit more of it, you should be able to see what direction it is heading in....

Very nice, you have good understanding what is important and what to leave out in 6mm terrain.

Thanks.

My first 6mm terrain was jam packed with detail.
It was (and still is) an absolute pig to cast and to do it justice takes an age to paint.
(image at the bottom of the post)

I found that sculpting it as well as I could meant I felt obliged to paint it as well as I could.
This takes time, not everyone has spare time...
And having seen various pieces of mine in the flesh painted by others, it is clear not everyone has the time or the will to spend 2 hours painting an improvised barricade they will use once.

So as I practice my making and casting, it becomes clear what is practical to make moulds and casts of, and what people are likely to do with that model.

I try to make it so that my models are obvious enough that people can tell what they are without being too fiddly or too 'realistic'.
