Building a WWII Crete Table

Here are a collection of posts about the Crete-themed terrain that I am currently working on. Where there are no links below yet, those are the things that are in the planning stages.

Terrain Making

• Cretan diorama
• Building a Mediterranean terrain board
• Making olive trees
• Making stone walls
• Making low vegetation and scrub like this and this
• Making buildings: church and rural cottages
• Making bamboo groves
• Making vineyards
• Making terraced fields like this example or these reference photos
• Making cypress trees
• Making pine trees like the ones in this photo
• Putting it all together, so that it resembles something little like this beautiful landscape!

Painting Miniatures

• Allied forces
• Gebirgsjager
• Fallschirmjager part #1 
• Fallschirmjager part #2

Share your Thoughts

Are there any aspects of this project that you are particularly interested in seeing first? Personally, I find it very useful to see how other people have made their terrain, the techniques they employ, the materials they use, and the lessons they have learned in the process. I'm happy to share what I have learnt and it helps add a bit more incentive to get a piece finished off if someone has requested it!
