Painting the Cabbage Patch - now on Barking Irons Online

The second part of my Modelling Masterclass article Cabbage Patch and how I painted it is now up on Barking Irons Online, see this link Part one - the construction is available here

These three images show the finished terrain piece - a walled cabbage patch that measures 11 inches x 8 inches and was completed for less that £4.00 over a couple of days. I hope that you enjoy reading about how I first constructed it and then painted it.



It is my intention to produce at least one modelling article a month for BIO and to that end I have been busy over the last few weeks trying to build up a stockpile of finished pieces.

Although the bulk will be Flintloque or Slaughterloo based, I am hopeful that there will be something for everyone and the odd Typhon or Fantasy piece.

    Very nice. And especially as it was completed for just £4.00 and a little effort.

    Fantastic post, I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but in 15mm, I wonder if they sell smaller flowers!! Thanks for the heads up.

    Great articles Tony - I've made a link to them from my Man Cave here:

    Hopefully I get a patch of my own done up soon!

    Thank you Tas,

    I also see that you had the original construction post from Steve's Painting Shed Blog. I had lost this link, but as you can see, my own Cabbage Patch was based very closely on this idea.

    For anyone interested - here is the inspiration for my Flintloque Cabbage Patch.
