A bridge over a river

30. September 2020 thomasriepe 28mm, 28mm Wargaming, Bridge, Riverbanks, Rivercrossing, Vietnam war, wargames terrain

As I have build new riverbanks for my wargaming terrain I needed a bridge to cross the river. First of all I needed banks for the bridge. I build theses, as I build all my terrain tiles, from extruded polystyrene sheets. The bricks are engraved into the polystyrene. I added sand and gravel painted the banks and added self-made flocking material.

The Bridge itself is 3D printed the file is from a WOW Kickstarter.

Here are pictures of the different build stages :

The white sampans are from the WOW Kickstarter, too the dock is from cults 3D.

Here are pictures of the completed bridge:

I probably will ad some more dirt and algae to the bricks towards the waterline.

NVA foreward observer

29. September 2020 thomasriepe

This is a miniature belonging to the HMG set made by Empress Miniatures. I based him individually to be able to use the miniature in different roles on the tabletop. As you can see he is equipped with binoculars so could be an observer not only for the HMG group but also for mortars etc.
