Gabions and Gun Positions**NOW SOLD**

I have recently completed these and they are for sale. Intended as 28mm items they can be used for any horse & muskets period game up to American Civil War.

The figure in the centre is a Perry Union dismounted cavalryman. After buying some Amera gabions for another order I had some left over and decided to make some defences. Feeling that a single line of gabions looked a bit dull I added some logs as well.

Here is a better view of the height of the defences. The items are painted, ink washed, dry brushed and varnished.

The lengths of the lines are 3 x 6" & 1 x 7". The dimensions of the gun emplacements are 80mm and 75mm across the inside and 90mm deep.

These are for sale at £20 plus postage and packing. Please contact me if you would like to purchase these items.

28mm Laser Cut Buildings

Hello Again! After a few minor disasters at home I am back posting again.

Here are a few lasercut items I have completed a while ago. These were at SELWG, on my stand.

This is a factory unit. It has stuccato walls with algae growing on the walls. The doors are painted and rusted showing a worn effect.

Here is a 28mm Warlord Soviet infantryman for comparison.

The roof has also been weathered. This is for sale at £20.00 plus postage and packaging.

This is also a Sarissa Precision model. The factory power room has the same stuccato finish and algae with a brick base. Again there is a Warlord Soviet infantryman to show scale.

This is £25.00 plus postage and packing.

Lastly the two sci-fi pods. These have had round section plasti strut added on the corners and have been dirtied and weathered.

These are £20.00 each or I can sell both for £35.00 plus postage and packing.

Please contact me through this blob or my e mail at  stephen.tunmore@hotmail.co.uk

New Explosion Markers

Hello Again! After the interest shown in the foam explosion markers at the SELWG I have added to the range by adding some 'single plume' markers with one and two pence pieces glued to their base.

A small selection is available now and I am making others as I post this.

Here, with a SHQ 20mm German figure and a Perrys 28mm ACW Union dismounted cavalryman for comparison show the height of the markers.

These vary from 45mm to 55mm in height and 35mm to 45mm in diametre.

All items are made of foam, shaped, soaked in black paint, PVA and water mix. Then they are drybrushed to give the final effect.

Here is a view to give you a better idea of these items.

A clearer view of the three smallest plumes.

Lastly a close up of the finished effect.

The original explosion markers are also available in a smaller size with multiple plumes. Again the same figures are shown as an illustration to height and size.

A top view with a ruler to show you the dimensions.

The above are available from myself through this blog or my facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/tunniesterrain/

Just pm me and I can arrange your order. Just advise me of the height and diameter you require and I can advise how long they may take as they may be sourced from my stock or I may have to make them, in which case the order can take up to two weeks to fulfill.

Prices vary from:

       Small single plume marker, (45/55mm high x 35mm/45mm diameter).......£3.50 each
       Large single plume marker, (65/75mm high x 45/55mm diameter).............£4.00 each
       Small multi plume marker, (55/65mm high x 55/65mm diameter)...............£4.50 each
       Medium multi plume marker, (65/75mm high x 70/75mm diameter)...........£5.00 each
       Large multi plume marker, (75/85mm high x 95/105mm diameter..............£8.00 each

Due to the bespoke nature of manufacture the dimensions of each item will vary slightly. Prices are exclusive of postage and packing and I will advise of the postage rates on completion of the order.

Bir Hacheim Bunkers

The range of trenches, that I sell through my business, Tunnies Terrain, were originally inspired by scratch building the scenery for the Bir Hacheim refight. 

After feedback from a number of people I decided to make the masters for the range and ask for Ian Clunie, at Shell Hole Scenics to cast them.

The modular nature of the range means they can be arranged in a multiple number of ways and it is easier to add further items to the range.

After the initial issue of sections which include straight, staggers and ends, I added a 'T' to make it possible to include a communication trench. 

Now I am turning my attention to designing a bunker.

One of the advantages of the range is that despite the difference in figure size the model trenches can be used for 20mm and 28mm high figures. This may make it a little more problematical to make a suitable bunker for the range.

I have added some pictures of the bunkers and emplacements from the scratch built items used in the games I have been posting. They are used for either housing infantry or guns and would welcome any preferences, additions and comments about the following with a view to the final design I will cast.

Here I incorporated a smaller resin item, with a roof, and widened the trench to accommodate figures behind. If the final design was based on this the bunker would be bigger, to be able to comfortably fit figures in it, the roof would be removable and probably not include corrugates sheets as I am unsure this was contemporary to the period. It would be replaced with thick wooden planks and come canvas sheeting.

This bunker was entirely scratch built with an additional exit to the rear. Here the bunker roof extends across the trench to the rear. The difficulty with design here is that the upright posts which support the roof would have to be white metal or plasticard items as resin would make casting difficult and would be prone to breaking. Therefore some assembly would be required.

This is an artillery position. It comprises sandbagged walls with wooden beams across the roof covered in scrim netting. There is also a rear exit, to allow positioning of the gun.

Here I made the netting from surgical gauze soaked in a PVA and water mix and painted when dry. Again this model would require some assembly and the customer would have to supply their own scrim. 

This is similar to the previous item but has a solid timbered roof. This would be a two parts kit and the roof could either be glued in place or removable. The only drawback with a removable roof is that if dropped it could break and as resin may warp may have to be immersed in hot water to return to shape.

I would welcome comments on the above or ideas for other designs.
