More scratch building

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Those are very nice indeed and pretty much the same type of look (inspired by pictures in the Rapid Fire rule books) that I hope to achieve with my own 20mm WWII buildings - when I get around to them.

Not done much scratch building yet, but I'm currently taking a trip down memory lane with some of the old Airfix (now Dapol) "Trackside" 20mm buildings - 'improving' them a little and basing them up.

I've got virtually all the Rapid Fire buildings and these would fit in just perfectly, well done!

Very nice Steve, a good sense of proportion and playability.
