As my current aversion to painting green Space Marines continues to settle, I have moved over (with the help of the good weather) to a side project that won’t side track me for too long. Playing about with a little bit of MDF should allow me to go back to painting GREEN again pretty soon.
Warmer weather, shorter drying times and ultimately just a little too hot to paint anyway (the inside of the shed was up to 49 degrees C when I ventured in last weekend…) As no brush work would be worthwhile, I guess a little trimming and gluing would have to suffice.
A bit of base colour spraying is always possible on warmer days too. A little bit of weathering may need to follow when I am all done with these builds…
These are TT Combat Venetian street blocks and canal stairs. The reason I bought a few sets of these recently was to see if I could get a bit of height difference on to the table. Each kit in the range makes up a 25-30mm high plaza square or street section.
As always, MDF is an easy medium to work with, and although not as fancy as some of the textured and 3d resin out there, it remains a staple in the shed as it is robust and fairly easy to store away between games. I have a larger pack with about 8 more base plazas and streets in it but these had a slight fault on them so I am awaiting replacements for those kits. When they arrive and get built up I should have enough from this range to allow me to stack smaller sections onto the larger bases, layering up the plazas to create higher and lower areas on the table, eventually…

A worthy addition to the terrain collection. You are right, they’ll be good for creating higher and lower areas through stacking.

Finally got round to responding to everyone. Nothing personal just me being slow…
I finally have the replacements for the damaged pack I received so you might see those levels stacked up sooner rather than later…

They look good man. I haven’t had too much experience with MDF but I have a pile of kits to build

I love MDF kits. Some are better than others but my 4Ground pre painted kits are some of my favourites. The basic sets like these take paint well but rely on me doing more of the hard work. My Steampunk launches are all MDF kits.

They should suit your purposes fine. Can’t beat a bit of MDF.
Cheers,
Pete.
