July-August Monthly Round-Up (Season of Scenery)

Well, this one has certainly been a long time coming! My model Round-Up from July and August finally showing up at almost the end of September! Usually this would be two separate ones, but I’ve been busy – and posting to the blog isn’t always the top priority, so it’s constantly ebbs and flows – or perhaps more accurately: lull and catch-up!

So yeah, in the end I got quite a decent amount of stuff completed in those two months, despite the various distractions that life throws up and at you. Nothing on what turned out to be September’s distractions, though!

Over both of those months, and even still now, I’ve got a bunch of pieces that are waiting on a day that fits a bunch of specific criteria so I can get outside and just spray away for a few hours. This day needs the following 1. Not at work, 2. Not Raining, 3. Not overly-windy, 4. Not too sunny or hot. I’ve not had any luck. I can get two of those at the same time, but all four? Buckley’s even now that we’re almost a month into Spring here.

I figure I’ll now just throw a bunch of photos up so you (and I) can see what I got painted in this couple of months. As is plain to see, the primary focus was very much on terrain for the Season of Scenery, which Dave Stone runs each year. Dave has had some health issues recently and has now been MIA since his last update post at the end of July, which is quite concerning – so we’re all hoping/wishing/praying for the best for Dave and his family.

Frank the Tankfanboy was asking about a cityscape photo the other day. These are all a bit crowded, but they’re the best I can do for the moment. If we get that nice day for spraying I was mentioning earlier I might be able to do something a bit better shortly with a gaming layout or something crazy like that!

In all, I completed 1x Custom Zombicide survivor, 13x Zombicide Zombies of various kinds, 23x pieces of Cities of Death Terrain, 1x printed Guillotine for Zombicide, 8x Fabricator’s Lair Horton Spheres, 2x Wargame Forge Bunkers, 2x Simple MillerBro Buildings, 2x Corvus Shopfronts (shout-out Dave & Kuribo!), 2x Damaged FL buildings, 2x FL Nuclear Cooling Towers, 3x WF Octagonal buildings, 2x WF “Jetsons” buildings, 4x Shiac3D Battletech Buildings, 4x Hextech Fluid Storage Tanks, 9x FL ruins, 4x WF Generators, 6x FL Fountains, 5x FL Spires, 9x Tanks for FoW (Battlefront & printed), 3x printed Glaive tanks for Legions Imperialis and 4x Catalyst Battletech Battlemechs.

I hope I didn’t miss anything there! That list comes to 109 models completed in July & August. If we add that to the 229 painted up to the end of June, it gives me a running total of 338 completed so far for 2025, not counting the stuff I’ve finished so far in September that I’ll start posting in a couple of days. A few of these last couple of photos are pure “Season of Scenery” ones with the non-valid Zombicide models removed.

A lot of the stuff I finished over July and August were things I’d been chipping away at for awhile. I’ve usually got way too many things going on at once which both makes things seem to take forever to finish, but also results in little floods as a set of this or that can be finished off in quick succession when I have a bit of time to work on them.

With a bit of luck, September’s models will start being posted before the end of September. Crazy, I know!

Corvus Games Terrain 3D Prints: Urban Building (15mm)

Corvus Games Terrain 3D Prints: Urban Building (15mm)

More 3D printed models today – we have the free sample Urban Building from Corvus Games Terrain over on MyMiniFactory. It’s scaled for 28mm, though in this case I resized it for 15mm.

The building comes in two forms – one with “filled” windows and one with “empty” windows. I decided to print both variants, and mirror one, so I could place them side by side and give the effect of shops in a strip that often have been constructed in that manner.

As a free piece, Corvus has (obviously) branded it with his own logo and name. This put me in a position where I wanted to make both of these businesses something relevant to Corvus – the sort of place(s) that might sell Games Terrain as part of their business.

With that in mind, I decided to make them into a pair of shout-outs to a couple of people in the blog circle. I actually finished both of these models early – at the start of last month in fact, but I wanted to finish a 15mm vehicle of some sort so I’d have something of the correct scale to post alongside. The TOG-2 is pretty massive, but then I thought a British tank might work better for the scale shot in this instance over one bearing a hakaristi! Even if the TOG is from the wrong era! (yeah, I need to get some modern 15mm stuff painted…)

Obviously, these two buildings count towards Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25. Hope you’re home & back to painting and modelling soon, Dave!
