I printed some walls with a short rest of FDM filament I had lying around. Walls like these can be used in between buildings or around parks and along streets. They are not only useful for my city of Hue project. So here they are:

The do look very 'Hue Citadel' but could also fit in other places. |

You could put your posters on with some temporary adhesive. I use double sided removable Scotch tape. Tom |

I actually took cover behind some of those walls in Feb, 1968 !! Russ Dunaway |

They are great modelling and I do like to see yet again that Gringos40 and empress figures can work together as you have shown. A suggestion. A bit of weathering. I imagine the local climate, especially in rainy season of Tet, would encourage much greenery. A wash with summat like Agrax Earthshade overall and a greenish wash lower down over that maybe. But t looks great now and I do like the image of the RPG through the hole in the wall. Do you have a recoiless rifle? |

Fantastic walls. Well designed, well executed. However, I agree with deadhead: too pristine, too clean. Any kind of a wash, to make them look old -- the holes help, but they look sterile. To be honest, I find them distracting because of their cleanliness -- they look out of place. I'm a huge Dip Technique fan. I would just brush on some Minwax and call it done, but that is me, for my games. If you prefer them clean, that is your choice. Cheers! |
