Greetings…
Okay not actually ‘shiny’ terrain… But terrain to use with my shiny toys…
While my dodgy eye slowly gets better… Things seem to always take longer when you get older 🙄.
I have been assembling and painting more bits of terrain…
A couple of Sarissa buildings and some more trees…
The buildings and trees have been painted in the same way as my previous additions…
The details can be found here…

The only difference with the trees…
Is that they are Poplars and were given a base coat of Citadel Death Guard Green spray…
I have a few more buildings already assembled and I am also moving (slowly) on with something new and pretty…
All the best Aly
Those popular trees are brilliant, I have a dozen myself, they have not been bettered after all these years .
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed a classic….
DeleteI think some of mine are nearly as old as me…😳
All the best. Aly
Splendid additions to the shiny side.
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
It's lovely how your collection has a growing range of matching scenics. You have a beautiful theme going on with the shiny-stuff. Good luck with your eye - it's a hell of a hassle for visual people like us.
ReplyDeleteThank you Greg…
DeleteI’ve always wanted it to be and ‘ integrate’ collection with everything working together…
All the best. Aly
The poplars in my back yard ("garden" for friends in the UK) should look so good! Then again, everything's better in toy soldier land, after all. Hope your recovery progresses without setback!
ReplyDeleteThis is the only kind of gardening that I enjoy…😁
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Lovely little buildings and the Poplars are super, great additions to you growing collection!
ReplyDeleteThank you Donnie…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Excellent work there Aly and the Poplars look excellent. Fingers crossed you eye gets better quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve…
DeleteThey came out rather well…
With sarcoidosis everything takes time …but there has been a marked improvement…
All the best. Aly
Nice work on the houses and trees! Touch of the silk purse from sows ears.....☺
ReplyDeleteNeil
Thank you Neil….
DeleteThe buildings and trees are actually a sound starting point to work from… So maybe a lambs ear 😁
All the best. Aly
Excellent additions to the Shiny Collection, especially the poplar trees. Hope the 👁️ continues it's steady progress.
ReplyDeleteThank you David…
DeleteIt was quit a light touch with the trees…
I can honestly say the drugs are working… if slowly.
All the best. Aly
Houses look neat. The poplar trees are very nice as well. Really spoiled f9r choices, we are.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe…
DeleteI’m certainly spoiled by the fact that I can still by trees that were made in the 70’s 😁
All the best. Aly
Those trees came out nice. Did you pimp up the buildings, they don't look like Sarissa kits to me?
ReplyDeleteThank you Rob…
DeleteNo pimping involved… just a coat of paint…
All the the best. Aly
Great looking work Aly keeping to the theme 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
I think you Poplar trees will be very poplar with us readers? I know....
ReplyDeleteSomeone had to say it….
DeleteAnd you win the prize 🤣😂🤣
All the beat. Aly
No argumentent from me about the Merit poplars. I think your buildings are rather splendid too. Do you paint them before they're fully assembled or afterwards?
ReplyDeleteThank you Matthew…
DeleteI build the buildings then then paint them…
I means that everything is tied together… To me sub assemblies look like sub assemblies…
All the best. Aly
I do like those buildings!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ross…
DeleteThey have turned out wall…
All the best. Aly
Splendid additions!
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt..
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Lovely work Aly. I really like those trees...I wish some manufacturer would pick up the concept and modernise it. Somethings you want to take longer as you get older to savour the moment - a good steak, a bottle of fine wine or a day playing with toys - but others you want go ASAP so you can get on with the more enjoyable stuff. I hope your eye rectifies itself soon.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed lovely trees Mark…
DeleteWith the job that I do I know quite a bit about what the engineering involved in making these would be… I honestly don’t think that there are that many toy soldier/wargames figure companies out there that could do push fit plastic trees… Even with CAD…
Which actually makes the trees more impressive as they would have been hand sculpted…
All the best. Aly
