Golgotha's Terrain - Huts

 Herewith, some huts. These are relatively generic and therefore suitable for a number of settings and periods, Ideal especially for Colonial engagements and games like Congo etc. I have further made them a size that would be equally suitable for 20mm 1/72 or 28mm. I used straw mats to detail the outside of the round containers, roofs are towel fabric glued on using Mod Podge which because it dries quickly and is less likely to warp was better than white glue. I made four huts in total each one a slightly different size and appearance. I will likely be adding some other terrain bits as well as maybe some pots and the like as well as a palisade fence.

Here Ruga-Ruga by HaT miniatures in 1/72 provide a sense of scale. See: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1786



These following two pictures show Ancient Nubians, see: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=564
































I imagine this the largest of the lot as the chiefs hut. Rather like the outer pillar design providing more roof and shade. 





See some huts by Digits, including the nice addition of some monkeys here: 



Golgotha's WWI - Ottoman Turkish Camel Corp

 Herewith, Ottoman Turkish Camel Corp, by Strelets, see: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2610 and http://www.strelets-r.com/Pages/Set.aspx?SetID=305&M=Z - ideal for Arab Revolt. 

Research, see: https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/14672-turkish-camel-corps/ and https://www.ottoman-uniforms.com/ww1-ottoman-mounted-troops/ - this is a great source for Ottoman Turkish uniforms. 




Commander here is from the infantry set, I will be providing him with a staff car at some point tin the future. 






Golgotha's Ancients - War Elephants

 Herewith, some Ancient war elephants, admittedly more than one would necessarily want, at four packs worth, so 12 elephants, but picked them up cheaply on ebay. Miniatures by HaT, These are Carthaginian elephants but I will also use them for Successor Wars States, they are not as impressive as the Zvezda elephants, which I also have, but are more realistic in size.

Oddly I wanted the brick effect relatively poorly painted as they they had done it. 

















Will at some point add more elaborate designs to the round shields on the sides. But want to do so in such a way as to not make them too specific to a particular army - not sure how to go about doing that.
