One thing I plan to lean into heavily next year is sorting my scenery collections out. I suspect I won't be playing many games in 2025, so I'd like to get each of them to be as good as I can. The first project I'm going to focus on is my desert scenery as I have a few gaming projects that need that to be up and running.
I'll be calling Project 1 "Desert Scenery" but that covers a lot of sins, this could be the full on deserts to arid grassland and fields, some of this scenery can work for the Mediterranean as well as Palestine and North Africa, so I want choices of items that I can place on a table to suit the area the game is supposed to be taking place.
One thing I wanted to add was fields for those areas that aren't just sandy desert and on my list to do last time I made "desert scenery" was cotton fields. I've been trying to work out how to do this for a few years now, but recently I had an idea I wanted to test out.
This is what the internet says fields of cotton in Afghanistan look like, so I had something to work from.
My test piece of scenery before I try to mass produce them in the new year. Material wise its just a place mat, door mat cut up and some white foliage flock but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. I didn't want to make multiples of this so I could cover a bit area of table and then decide the idea looked terrible.
The gap between rows is eyeballed to about right to put 25mm bases flat on the ground with some slight deviations from this. Blocks of infantry can just be sat on top.
All in all, I'm pleased with my test piece, I just need a new source of place mats as I always bought mine from Wilko . . .
