Pastria has a number of colonial territories in the polar region.
One area of concern has been the uninvited deployment of two Ayeland Marine Reconnaissance Regiments to one of Pastria's polar territories, a large island rumoured to have extensive and untapped mineral and oil resources.As a polar region, there is snow, so this small piece of scatter terrain is my first attempt at modelling snow.
Four Debris of War Oil Drums were pinned (using plastic rod) to a Products for Wargamers MDF scatter base (the edges were chamferred using a file). The rod visible between the oil drums is to take a marker stick - it snows a lot and tall red and white post is secured in the centre of any stores left outside so it can be found if the snow buries them.
The drums were then held in place by Milliput as the drifted snow.
The edges of the base were painted with PVA glue and Woodland Scenics fine ash ballast added on top.
Once dry the whole thing was undercoated with Citadel Corax White spray.
The gravelly bits were then painted with Vallejo Black Grey paint.
The oil drums were painted with Humbrol 155 Olive acrylic, dry brushed with Citadel Nurgling Green and washed with Citadel Athonian Camoshade.
Spilled fuel was simulated with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.
Snow was built up using Citadel Valhallan Blizzard Technical.
