Some field fortifications

Ive recently finished these resin pieces by a maker called Baueda. They are very nicely detailed and of great casting quality. I do have some more fortification type pieces in the pipeline, so Ill do some more hopefully soon. These were easy enough to paint, with the sawn off short ends of the logs requiring some detail work. But even that was surprisingly quickly done and adds very nice detail to the pieces.

The models are sold as WW2 pieces, but I think that fortifications like these were in use earlier – at least they are similar enough to Napoleonic fortifications. Ill combine these with some gabions, which are more typical of the period.

In the bottom picture, you can see some gabions with the Baueda pieces. The gabions are made by Warbases. They are made of resin just like the Baueda stuff. However, the Warbases gabions are, unfortunately, not of the same quality. Not only are they less well sculpted, they also came with many air bubbles which had to be filled in with green stuff before I could paint them. Because there were so many, this did take quite some time. That is also why there are only two small pieces. I have many more, but the air bubbles put me off finishing the others. I should say that once they were properly prepared, they were easy to paint and very quickly done. They were also relatively cheap.
