Nice work and how 6mm needs to be photographed. In situ and at distance to give real feel.
Those fields look awesome. I am a terrain guy so tell me how you made them, links and how to welcome.

That is stunning - all of it. The cavalry, the fields, the buildings and the photo.
Please tell us how you did those fields.
Thanks Richards

I agree, Oolittee 's points are excellent. I also think what makes this photo good is the warmth of the lighting and the dark background. I try to get that warm look in my own pics, but this is really top notch. Bruce

I have attempted something similar for our 28mm gaming. Fur clipped to shape then airbrushed to colour. it was simple to do but it must take a bit of practice to do it for 6mm terrain. I would love to see a how to for this.

Your wheat field looks quite good Ooiitte!
We have a large fabric store chain in the states, JoAnn's, when I found some very short fur, more or less wheat colored. No trimming needed for 6mm. I used craft paint watered down with an old brush, just worked it in with quick dabs and strokes, to add variation and highlights to make some hay ( a bit of green) and wheat fields. Also found some brown corduroy, quite small and narrow cords good for plowed and planted fields for 6mm. Will use flock and lichen for various rows of crops. 5 to 7 dollars a yard for each fabric. It will make a lot of fields, and I can practice on it without using it all up.
It was a little weird wandering around endless rows of fabric in these big box stores, a strange world indeed. But there is some 6mm appropriate stuff out there that does not need much altering. Bruce

I fabric cover my boards so i live in fabric stores. Australia doesnt have the range that you would see in colder climate unfortunately. Its a gold mine for a creative mind.
