Commissions and Custom Projects

28mm Scale Samurai Grave Marker commission, measuring 7" x 7".  All hand-made.

This commission was for 20ft of 6mm scale roads and bocage-style hedgerows.  

20mm scale snowy fields designed and built for a customer's Ardennes table. 

This is just one board that formed part of a large French village (loosely based on Villers Bocage) that I built for a customer who plays in 6mm scale.

28mm scale paddy field - specifically designed to allow a 28mm figure on a 25mm wide base to fit between the rows of rice plants.

28mm Hop Field built as a custom order.

June 2020 - this is a follow-up commission for a customer who ordered a load of boards in 2019.  This time the project was for modular rivers and trees.  The  photo shows just a small part of this commission!  The tanks are 6mm scale.

This photo shows just a part of a large commission to make a load of 20-28mm Roads, Hedges, Fields, Allotments and Fences.  Shown with 20mm Americans for scale  

In July 2020, I completed 2 simultaneous commissions for 2 separate clients who both wanted Winter roads, and Winter hedgerows, trees and fences.  This photo shows about a quarter of the total amount of products actually made.   Shown with 20mm Americans and Germans for scale  

November 2020 - a large build for a customer who needed some Muddy Rivers, Paddy Fields, Roads, and a stack of Decidous and Palm trees for a special Vietnam/Cold War project.  The photo shows about half of the products made for the customer.

September 2020 - another bespoke commission for a load of Desert Wadis/Dry Rivers   Shown with 20mm Germans for scale  

December 2020 - the customer commissioned me to make him a 30" long escarpment, with 4 interchangeable sections.  The main section was 12" long, the two rounded ends were 9" long,  and the Quarry end section (shown in the photo above) was also 9" long.  Shown with 20mm Germans for scale.  

January 2021 - another Deluxe Resin river commission, this time with 2 custom pieces to house the customer's bridges.  One was an iconic Japanese red bridge, and the other was a wooden bridge that crosses a custom-made ravine piece.

October 2020 - I built several feet of Deluxe Resin river sections for a customer in the US, which included 3 custom-made sections to fit his bridges.  He wanted the banks left bare of grass, so that he could add his own grasses and tufts.  Part 2 shows them fully finished...

January 2021 - the same customer finished adding all the finishing touches to the banks of his resin rivers, and left a superb review of Take Cover Scenics' rivers on his blog:

December 2020 - not a commission as such.  One of my customers sent me a couple of his 3D printed mangrove trees to see what I thought of them.  Couldn't resist having a little tinker to see what the trees would look like fully painted up and immeresed in a resin pond!

February 2021- this was my biggest Deluxe Hedgerow commission to date.  The client wanted the hedges scaled for 15mm gaming, and ordered 40 feet in straight sections, then another 30 feet in corners and curves!  The attached photo shows just a few of the straight sections on my workbench. 

March 2021 - I built this walled Mediterranean Orchard, and 6 Orange Trees in early March 2021 for a client who'd also ordered a load of vineyard rows and Olive Trees.  The Orchard base measures 10" x 10" and is painted in the new Arid Earth colour scheme.  The figures are 20mm, for scale.  

March 2021 - my client wanted 5 Wheat Fields, each measuring 10" x 10", and with a network of trackways that would allow the fields to be used as standalone pieces, or to be used together.  He wanted a Mediterranean base colour scheme, so I used my Desert Ochre colour pallette.  These Wheat Fields have now been added to the online store as a new range! The figures are 20mm, for scale.  

April 2021 - this photo shows just a small part of a large commission for 8 feet of Deluxe Resin-filled rivers (including a really nice bridge section), several feet of the new 3" Wide Flexible Cobbled Roads, and some Allotments with attached hand-made fences. The figures and vehicles in the photo are 20mm, for scale.  

April 2021 - a returning client asked me to make him a display board for his 15mm Flames of War army.  It needed to measure 60cm x 40cm, and he wanted  the board to have modelled-on dirt roads, including a T junction, and a deluxe resin river with a ford running along the right-hand side.   Mission accomplished, I reckon!  Here's a photo of the piece with some 15mm Germans. 

April 2021 - I completed a commission for a client who'd asked me to make him three resin-filled Deluxe Paddy Field complexes, each measuring 9" x 14".  Each complex is modelled with a different combination of small paddy fields, which gives a really realistic look.  No individual rice plants on this commission!  These 3 Paddy Field complexes have now been added to the range.   Shown with 20mm Americans  for scale.

April 2021 - a returning client who I'd previously supplied with a Samuria Grave Marker, asked me to make him 2 small Samurai Graveyards for 28mm scale.  He wanted each one to measure 4" x 6", with 4 graves and a single tree per base.  The gravestones and plinths are completely scratch-built.  He also wanted a couple of matching standalone trees.
