As I am playing WAW  by Mongoose publishing at the moment , I need a lot of scenery!

If you do not know WAW (World at War) it is a squad or platoon level wargame set in WWII written by Agis Neugebauer.

As troops die very quickly in this system without adequat cover I started my terrain building project with fieldwalls.

I started by getting small stones from a hobby store . They are normaly used for

decoration purposes and a bit of cardboard. I cut a strip of cardboard about 1x10cm

big and started to glue the stones with superglue to the cardboard adding row after row

I did 4 different walls two strait walls, one wall with a wooden door and one destroyed wall section .

 

The door and the doorposts are made out of

styrofoam . The Styrofoam was inscribed with a

woodgrainpattern.

As I wanted more then 4 wall sections I started to do silicone moulds to be able to cast the walls in resin. To protect the wallsections they were primed with black Gesso ( a primer normally used for oil paintings)

 

After priming I started to make the molds.

I build a box out of lego bricks and stuck a cardboardbottom to the box with tape. ( The bricks are reusable). Then I placed the walls in the box and fixed them with superglue to the bottom.     If you don´t do that the master may float up durig pouring of the resin and the mould doesn`t work later.

I use silicone and resin by Rairo a German hobbystuffprovider.

When the silicone is set ( after about 2 hours you can get rid of the box.

 

Here you see the mould of the broken wall section. to use the whole mould space I put in 2 mine markers I made ( the black round things!). Now you can start castin the walls and the door.

These are the cast up walls so far . With this technique you can produce as many walls as you like.
