I've been wanting to include some terrain features on my tables that include some iron railings. I ordered a set of spiked railings from Warbases to try them for size and scale and really liked them. From there, I ordered a few more, plus some of their hooped railings as well.
I had seven spiked railings, which I wanted to use to make a small park area to position amongst my houses. The railings are 80mm long each, and with a supporting column either side, this allowed me to make a decent sized rectangular space.
The columns and low walls are made from foamboard, coated in filler and textured using my usual set of old brushes to give a stony texture. The tops of the columns are squares of MDF trimmed from spare kit pieces. Grass, tufts and shrubbery are from my usual selections to tie everything in together.
The open space in the centre of the park is there to allow me to place a selection of trees in the middle, depending upon what I want to do. My trees are all based on 60mm round bases, so I envisioned putting three in a row, or two and a monument/ statue/ fountain. Those will have to come later, so for now- trees...
As a little addition- here are a selection of my recently completed civilians/ refugees trailing past the park on their way out of town... The road surface is just a couple of sheets of sand paper, painted grey and textured with pigments, washes and drybrushes. I intend to use inside the yards my high walls will enclose and just generally for any stretch of land that isn't grass of roadway.
