Some 15mm WWII Terrain… This is the old JR Miniatures Monte Cassino Ruin piece. The building was painted my a friend and local painter, Les. I built the foundation and painted it. I am proud that it is a near seamless look between the two pieces. Enjoy and watch out for the panzerfaust wielding Germans. Thanks

Amazing the difference one s makes, between Monte Cassino and a gambling den. Anyone who googles my name finds a Poker player, who, bless him, has gone to his reward, but never opened an ear or removed a tonsil in his life. Sounds very sensible actually, but I have one massive advantage over him (for now anyway)

Absolutely love the way this came together! The transition between your foundation work and Les's painting is genuinely seamless—it looks like it was done by one hand. The texture and weathering really capture the atmosphere of Monte Cassino. It's always awesome to see collaborative efforts like this turn out so well. Also, great little touch with the panzerfaust warning—adds just the right bit of humor to an intense scene. Thanks for sharing this piece of history brought to life so vividly

Very nice indeed. I found that cheap cat litter, ( unused), sprayed brick red, or your favourite building material colour is excellent for mounds of good looking rubble. Best wishes, Chris
