Hello, after spending the last months modelling, building and painting all sorts of terrain I thought it was time to shoot some "in terrain" fotos with my WW II stuff. Here comes the pictures for your viewing pleasure: picture picture picture picture picture picture picture More fotos and some informations about the used miniatures and vehicles can be found here: link Ciao Elmar

That's awesome. I love the muted colours everywhere. |

wow just wow, sadly I don't have my own gaming table so I can't realy put down a great looking table with lots of detail as I might have to clear the room in an hour. hopefully with my own table I can realy get down and make some good terrain but I doubt it will look even close to that |

Fantastic work – I love the detail and colours. There is a very real feel to your terrain. Thanks for sharing. |

I really like your stuff – does the teddy bear fur lend itself to being cut out into field shapes and laid on another gaming mat? |

Very nice terrain. I aspire to have some good looking stuff of my own. Collecting miniatures on a limited budget with limited time is an exercise in patience. Thanks for the incentive to keep working |

That's inspiring terrain! How did you apply the paint to the teddy bear fur? link |

P.S.: I see that you made your own masters for the wagons – are cast wagons available for sale? link |

Beautiful table, I don't believe I've ever seen a table like that! |

Outstanding work!! I'd love to see some text with the "fur terrain" page (it looks like you meant to put in a link…but it's not "active"). - Jim |

Here is the link to the Howto for the fur terrain on Elmar's web site: link One thing I would like to know (maybe a really basic question), but how are you applying the paint to the teddy bear fur? I saw the Howto when it was first posted, so had a go myself. Unfortunately, on my efforts the paint just "clumped" the fur together so that it looks ****! The fur in your pictures looks nice and fluffy. How do you achieve that effect? btw/ please keep posting pictures of your terrain projects – they are really inspirational. |

Hi to all and thank you for the nice comments. The best way to paint the synthetic fur is with an airbrush. I used a fur with a middel broun color. The hardest part is to paint areas with lighter colors (the beige for the fields). I tried to do the coloring in many steps with only few color at a time and then give it time to dry. The more paint you use the more likely the fur will clump. Shortly after I finished the fields my airbrush had a failfunction I couldn't cure. So I did most of the green coloring by hand with a brush. I drybrushed nearly all the gras. It is possible but very exhausting. It took about four hours and gave me a serious muscle ache. I don't think that you can achieve the effect on the fields with a brush. Hi Gunfreak,
thank you for the refinement. I like the effect very much and want to use them on my homepage with your permission. Can you please tell me how to do this little digital wonders. Hi Sceptic
