TERRAIN - Cold War Airfield

In preparation for this years Joy of Six show and also the big Cold War Commanders game up in Grimsby in September I have started on a huge box of Timecast and Leven Miniatures buildings that need sorting. So first up is an airfield which utilises the runway that I had already made.

The Control Tower made up from three separate Leven Miniatures buildings all from his Military range. MIL07 - RAF Generic Block, MIL08 - RAF Admin Block and MIL33 - Luftwaffe Control Building.

One end of each of the blocks were ground flat so they joined nicely with the sides of the tower.

Parking Apron and a Windsock

New Fire Station added to the Control Tower base.

Three emergency vehicles made from (L to R) an Heroics and Ros GMC Pick Up from their Modern Canadian range, a Heroics and Ros GMC Radio Truck again from their Modern Canadian range and a 1/300th architectural model from China. All three have had a tiny strip of plastic added to the roof and painted up to look like emergency lights.

Slight change of plan so Parking Apron gets a textured edge.

Runway distressed a little to give the effect of rubber on the runway

I plan a couple more bases for the airfield. One a hangar again from Leven Miniatures and another a Admin Building or something similar. The plan is this will be a major objective in Septembers game.

As always thanks for looking.
