Commissions and Custom Projects

A commission for two 20-28mm scale Deluxe resin-filled paddy field complexes.  Each one measures 18" x 18", with several fields, of differing sizes, built onto one large base.  Each field is fully "planted".

This one took a while!  August 2019 - a large commission for a set of modular terrain tiles, with roads, fields, hedgerows, hills, and forests, plus a stack of standalone bocage hedgerow sections.

This was part of a much larger build.  The customer ordered 9 feet of 5" Wide Deluxe Resin-filled rivers, but also wanted me to build him a custom river section to house the fully painted resin bridge that he sent me.   

This customer commissioned me to make him 15 paddy fields in various sizes, as well as a set of 9.5" Wide rivers, and 2 hand-made rickety bamboo-style bridges, for use with his 6mm scale Vietnam War collection.   

This was a fun build - something a little different!  The customer wanted an Urban Park  for 15mm gaming.  The brief was to have a grassy area with a little duck pond and flower beds, a parking area, and a small sports field.  All within a 12" x 12" square!  

This photo shows just a small part of a truly massive commission to build over 30 feet of 28mm scale, Extra-wide Deluxe Normandy Bocage (Ultimate Bocage).  The total base width was 7", to accomodate 28mm tanks.

Another large Deluxe bocage commission - this one was for 25 feet of Standalone Deluxe Bocage sections in various lengths.  The circles on the tops of some of the banks conceal magnets for adding detachable trees.

Summer 2020 - A recently completed commission for 3 Desert hills with added greenery.  They're a hybrid between my Mediterranead/Desert hills and the Grassy/Craggy ones, with lots of grass over arid ground, and some heather/lavender patches.

Sometimes you can't see the woods for the trees!  This was a commission for 35 Olive Trees in various heights, all with arid bases.  There's a mixture of small, medium and large trees.

A large commission to build a stack of 15-20mm scale Deluxe Bocage (Ultimate Bocage) roads, in the original 5.5" base width.  Shown with 20mm (1/72) Germans   

Four 20mm scale vineyards. Each measures 10" square, with a narrow track running down the centre.

June 2020 - a commission for 8 feet of Desert Escarpment, a matching large Desert Hill and some vineyard rows, all with extra vegetation, to create a semi-arid setting.

Shown with 20mm (1/72) Afrika Korps for scale.

May 2021 - this one was a bit of a departure for me.  A client emailed me a photo of a bridge that was featured in a copy of an ancient White Dwarf magazine as part of an Epic 40K feature.  He asked if I could replicate the bridge, just from this one photo.  WIth no measurements or plans to work from, just a single blurry photo, and a river section that the client sent me in the post, I set about building the bridge from scratch.  10 hours later this was the result...

May 2021 - I've been making Flexible Tarmac roads in various widths for years, but this commission certainly got the grey matter working!  Last year, a returning client asked if I could make him some 4" Wide ones - with 14 feet of straights (including 6 sections with a 24" length!) plus a stack of shorter sections, several Crossroads sections, T junctions and curves.  And, he wanted them all with white lines!   After a bit of experimentation, I discovered a method that gives great results.  

The above photo shows just a small part of the commission, with some 20mm Americans for scale. 

June 2021 - I completed another commission for a set of 5" Wide Deluxe Resin-filled rivers, including a custom section to house a large double-arched bridge. I've attached a photo of the rivers and bridge section, with a couple of 20mm vehicles for scale.  

June 2021 - a large commission for 18 feet of Deluxe Winter Hedgerows and loads of Deluxe Winter roads.  The above photo shows just a fraction of the completed build.  Shown with 20mm scale Germans, for scale.    

June 2021 - as part of a much larger commission, my client wanted just over 16 feet of hedgerows for his 10mm games.  The majority of the hedges were the standard Bocage-style ones, but he also ordered some Deluxe sections to add interest.  As you can see, the two styles complement each other perfectly.       

 July 2021 - The 3" Wide Flexible Cobbled Roads are proving to be very popular!  Here's a recently completed commission for a client in the UK, which included a couple of "Dirt to Cobble" transition pieces so that he could use them with his exisiting 3" dirt roads.  There were also a few junctions, but they're not included in the photo.       

 July 2021 - I worked on 2 river commissons for two separate clients at the same time.  One was for 5" Wide Resin-filled rivers, and the other was for some 3" Wide ones.  Here's a photo of the completed 3" Wide Commission, which included a 24" long and an 18" long piece. 

 September 2021 - here are a few items of Mediterranean scenery that I worked on for a couple of clients, shown with a 28mm figure for scale. The commissioned products included vineyards, a Mediterranean allotment, a Walled Orchard and a stack of Olive trees. 

 October 2021 - as part of a large commission to make around 20 feet of Deluxe resin rivers and streams, the client also asked if I could make him a number of custom-made sections to house some resin bridges.  

Here's a photo showing 3 stone bridges mounted onto custom river sections, and an extra large piece that incorporates two Team Yankee Overpasses fully integrated onto a river section.   That last one took a while to design and build! 

November 2021 - one of my clients asked me to build him a WW2 Airfield, 16" Wide and 4 feet long, with a section of gridded, weathered concrete at one end, and the rest as grass, with a long run of Marston Matting.  Here's a close-up photo showing some of the concrete, grass and matting, along with a 1/72 Spitfire for scale.    

January 2022 - this was a great project, building the iconic Pegasus Bridge and making 5 huge canal sections to go with it.  The water width is 10".  Shown with 20mm British Airborne for scale.    

September  2022 - I built a large river network for a client, comprising a load of 9.5" wide Vietnamese-style Muddy Rivers, as well as some 5" wide ones. The client sent me a photo of some 28mm Americans on a boat on one of the wider sections.  Lovely paint job on the boat and figures!
