Last night I had some time to work on TGTP2016 (The Great Terrain Project of 2016 last time I write that out). I finished up the bunker and worked on the cannon turret.
I filled the corners of the bunker with hot glue. This shored up the walls and it feels much more sturdy.
I then proceeded to add on all the detail cards.
I am still working on the technique on adding these cards. Some times I think I have enough glue but then they start to peel back or lift up. I figure by the end of the project I will be an expert.
I again had some issues with the acrylic rods on the turret. you can see where instead of sliding on the rod the mdf caught and tore the rods.
I hope a little glue and paint with hind this or at least make it look like wear and tear.
Over all, I am still happy with the terrain. I think with some paint these are going to look nice. I have assembled all the gun turrets now, the dragon teeth, a pill box, and a bunker. I have 4 pill boxes, a bunker, a barracks, a HQ, and a Foundry left to build. I think I will try the Barracks next.
Let me know what you think or suggest different techniques for me to try when assembling these kits.
