Creating Battlefield Clutter - 15mm Car Wreaks.

Several weeks ago a picked up from E-bay a bag of cut price 15mm cars... perfect for filling the streets of any modern battlefield, I have always felt that a gaming table should include, cars, gardens and random trees rather than your standard 4 hours for a village...
However when these arrived they were a little two shiny for my liking and figured that any modern car on battlefield should have a more war torn look.

With a bag full of spare bricks and some left over Warbases I set about turning these straight off the production line models into 15mm wreaks.


After a few minutes of setting about them with hammer and drill they looked pretty broken up, I glued them to the bases and sprayed them black before drybrushing them with a with dark brown metal, followed by a dark metal silver to create that burn't out look.

I am really pleased with how they have turned out and will compliment the modern/early sci-fi table top

With another 43 in the bag I am already thinking about put a few up on bricks and making some a partial wreak or street barricades to close off routes etc, etc.
