Scatter Terrain

This week I got a few pieces of scatter terrain painted. Two of them are more pieces of Warlord Games' resin Warehouse Set 1.  One is a set of Plastruct O Scale trusses cut up and glued together in a pile; another is simply a pile of wooden beams made from 1/4 square balsa wood.

The Warehouse set is very nice. The sculpting and casting are very good. There is a little bit of resin flash in the recesses and the twine is lost in a couple of places but still very nice once painted.

I really like the Plastuct (and Evergreen too) products. O scale is listed as 1/48  on their website so a little over-sized for 28mm figures. However, in cases like this where it is just scatter terrain it isn't that noticable. Had I slightly smaller trusses I would have chosen them over these. As they got left behind and have suffered through a couple of rainy seasons, the rust has set right in.

The lumber was dead simple: cut 1/4 balsa; scribe grain with sculpting tool; glue together; prime and paint. 

I still have two more pieces coming in the post; once on they are on the table it may be crowded enough  and there will be no need for more shrubs.
