Salerno 'Tobacco Factory' - Part 5 - Weathering and Collapsed Buildings

More progress on the Salerno Tobacco Factory terrain. Here you can see the collapsed building sections. Also a big 'thank you' to my uncle who stopped by today and helped me put some weathering and wear paint effects on the buildings and also helped do the detail painting on the collapsed buildings. I still have another evening of detail painting and weathering, including adding some bullet holes and damaging the roofs, but we're getting closer!






One detail was where to put damaged sections on the rear of the buildings to allow players to access them. I decided to let the players choose their entrance points. A quick blast with a panzershrek or bazooka will open up a hole in the building at the location of their choosing. I made these nifty breech markers that can be placed wherever the player's troops make a hole.

AJ,

This came out just great! The rubble areas add a lot to the overall look. The blast holes are a great idea that I can’t wait to try out with my modern stuff! Excellent work. I am really looking forward to seeing this in person!

Terrific job on scratch building the factory. can't wait to hear reports regarding how it was used in play. Did you make pieces showing the roof line hit by artillery and mortar fire?

Amazing work. Take a bow, son!

Looking better than good! Breach markers...I’ve made some of those out of cardstock for my Nappy skirmish system—might look into upgrading those now at some point!

Celtic, adding battle damage to the roofs is on the 'to-do' list.
