TT Combat Sandstorm Barricades

TTCombat offer a great range of laser cut scenery but the 15mm scenery is mainly WWII.  That said, various items of the 25/28mm scenery ranges are easily re-purposed as 15mm.

 
Although designed with games like Star Wars in mind, their "Sandstorm Barricades"work very well with 15mm figures, representing head-height wall. 
 
 
They come vac-wrapped on their wooden sprues and the majority of parts have only 1 or 2 narrow connecting points on each component.  It's the matter of a couple of minutes with a sharp stanley knife to cut through these, pop out the parts and give the connection stubs a quick rub down with abrasive to make them disappear. 
 
 
Parts slot together very easily, the barricades were glued together (with the assistance of a 4-year old helper) in about 10 minutes.
 
 
Once assembled, the barricades received a couple of coats of cheap matt grey spray primer.  A quick rub over with a wet & dry sanding block removed the rough surface to leave a lovely smooth finish.
 
 
Detail has been painted in red or blue acrylic craft paints, with burnt umber & burnt sienna rust marks.  The final stage was a wash of Future floor polish and black ink.
