28mm Scale Samurai Grave Marker commission, measuring 7" x 7". All hand-made.
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".
Two 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.
20mm scale snowy fields designed and built for a customer's Ardennes table.
This commission was for 20ft of 6mm scale roads and bocage-style hedgerows.
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.
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.
Four 20mm scale vineyards. Each measures 10" square, with a narrow track running down the centre.
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. He left a superb review of Take Cover Scenics' rivers on his blog:
This one took a while! 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.
The previous customer commissioned more tiles. 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 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 part of a large commission to make a load of 20-28mm Roads, Hedges, Fields, Allotments and Fences. Shown with 20mm Americans for scale.
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. Shown with 20mm Americans for scale.
A returning client who I'd previously supplied with a Samurai 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.
I built this walled Mediterranean Orchard, and 6 Orange Trees 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 Arid Earth colour scheme. The figures are 20mm, for scale.
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 3" wide flexible cobbled roads, and some allotments with attached hand-made fences. The figures and vehicles in the photo are 20mm, for scale.
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.
This was a great project, building the iconic Pegasus Bridge (Raventhorpe kit) and making 5 huge canal sections to go with it. The water width is 10". Shown with 20mm British Airborne for scale.
An established client who's already got a load of my hills, asked me to make him a massive craggy hill. The brief was to build something around 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep, with a grassy central plateau with gentle slopes, flanked by two huge cliff-faced promontories. The height of the plateau is around 2", while the cliffs are 5" tall. Shown with 20mm (1/72) scale Germans.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
Here's an example of a 12" long escarpment section placed next to a 5" wide deluxe resin-filled river.

This photo shows just a small part of a huge commission to build a load of winter roads, hedgerows, fences and trees.
Here's a photo of some 20mm scale Americans traveling along a Normandy-style bocage road. These roads are fully compatible with our 3" felixible dirt roads. They have a total base width of 5", with attached hedgerows.
This photo shows some 28mm scale deluxe hedgerows with individually modelled shrubs and bushes (each with different flocks and scatters). They also included short fence sections built into the hedgerows. Photo supplied by the customer with his own trees in the background.
A large shaped base with several pools of resin "water". The ultimate example of "difficult terrain" for your games.
20mm scale figures and shown on a 3" wide dirt road, with walled orchard, trees and a vineyard in the background, and fences in the foreground.
20mm scale Stug shown on a 12" long bocage road section.
One of my first river commissions - a wide river for 6-10mm gaming, which included making a custom river section to house the customer's supplied resin bridge.
This was a commission to build several olive groves with a red soil base. The Stug is 20mm, and the photo clearly shows the twisted trunks on the trees.
This was part of a large commission for desert products. The photo shows some 15mm scale British WW2 forces on 3" wide Flexile Desert Roads, hemmed in by a long run of Escarpment sections.
A customer commissioned me to make him some heavily weathered post-aplocalyptic roads for his Gaslands games. Photo supplied by the customer.

A returning client who had already commissioned me to make him over 20 feet of deluxe resin-filled rivers asked for some battle-damaged bridge sections to match the "perfect" ones that I'd already supplied. Here's a photo of a 20mm Hovels resin bridge after some tasteful destruction!
A commission for a load of 5"-7" tall deciduous jungle trees fully modelled with hanging vines. Shown with a 20mm figure for scale.
