The Last Wall For a While

Before you is the last short wall I intend to make for a while. Just for the sake of full disclosure, if you look in the background, you can see the wall I completed before but recycled a picture for. Soon, I'm going to paint the five walls I've recently completed but I haven't decided if I want to do them all in tan and continue my desert/adobe theme of if I should do them in gray and make them part of my industrial buildings. I'm leaning towards desert because industrial areas tend to have open areas and more wide-ranging and mechanized defenses while out in the desert, walls are more useful for shade and against the occasional in coming invader or some kind of crap like that. In addition, I like the desert look a little more so I am leaning in that direction. I noticed a while back that if you put two of these walls back to back, they make a good elevated pathway. I noticed this morning that, thanks to the notches I put in the base so that they could stand at angles, I can fit a building to them well so I'm thinking that a few of these walls together like that and a few buildings together could make a pretty cool Indomitable Fortress.

Started drawing out that Memorial column I was talking about before. I have a couple of small issues to work out, but I see great potential for it as a terrain piece. On a completely different note, I'm also thinking about making more static defenses like sandbag walls, concertina wire and tank traps. The sandbag walls, well, there are ways to make them from scratch but I like the Tamiya ones a lot and they're cheap ($5/box) and they look good. One box can make an inch high tank redoubt or four five in ch long sandbag walls. If you pick up one a month, after a while you'll be swimming in sandbag fortifications. As for concertina wire and tank traps, they may be the subject of a future entry...

Haven't decided what to do next. You'll probably know the day after I do. I've got several things to paint and I think I'll do a bit of that for a while. Besides, I don't want to go out and buy any foamcore right now. I'll have to soon enough when I'm ready to build the Memorial column.
