28mm Pacific

 28mm Pacific Game part 7

So our  new mats arrived and they look great (from Deep Cut in their mousemat material). So we placed some troops on one just for the photos.... we cannot wait to get a game on it.

 The beach mat is below.... we have two other mats (sea and grass) but I cannot show them as we have no table space big enough - we are not in a large hall yet.

We like the sand trails on the mat. Very effective.
The sea wall sections are still to have sand added to the slope. We didn't know what the sand mat colour would be..so we just waited.

The 3d printed LVT1's look good and clear scenery bases look good (apart from glare of light). The aquarium plants are cut and then hot glued and painted. We are also working on taller palm trees.

The surf on the mat looks great and matches our wading Marines 

(we plan to game our way to the actual beach on this section of the game).

p.s. we have made up about 100 marine wading figures and about 90 water causality figures, with about another 100 (full body marine figures) for the actual beach. It should look good.

This is unfinished (the sea wall) but I like how the (made of blue foam) sea wall looked after hot wiring and etching.  

Really like the look of the clear bases - these are just punched from A4 plastic sheet.

This is just some of the hand to hand guys we have made for close assaults.

I think the tropical look of the plastic plants, lichen, cork and clump foliage works for our 28mm. These were still to be weathered and highlighted but you can see the effect. 

We will have LVT1's at different depths / heights to match the mat position. Above some Marines climb out.

The beach boys...

We have a few LVT1 s unloading. Marines in the shallower water are waist to knee in it. Others are in it up to chest but will be further from the shore.

 With some of our LVTs exploding - these blend into the mats nicely.

Black and white has a feel all in its own.. 

I also like the undulating sand effect on the mat. Nice mats Deep Cut. We can't wait to play!!

We just need to sort out the rest of the tropical scenery.
