Build Guides
Terrain projects and modelling techniques, with a materials list and numbered steps, built from published tutorials rather than our own photographed builds.
Bocage hedgerow for a 28mm table
Six sections, about 1.2 metres in all. Method and materials follow the published bocage-terrain tutorials in the sources below; we have not built this piece ourselves. Also works for 1:72.
Researched method, not a tested build
Painting basics
Seven stages every painting guide on this site builds on: priming, base coats, washes, layering, highlighting, basing and varnish. Method and materials follow Army Painter's own technique guides in the sources below; we have not run every step on one model ourselves. Works for plastic kits and miniatures alike.
