Terrain - Junkers Base Test Bed

Hi all,
           I'm just tinkering about with bits for my 6 mm scale Junkers base. Nothing set in stone by any means.  I did a very rough paint job on the "tents and garden" (not sure on the colours either) and nothing on the "junk pile". There has got to be a junk pile to go along with a junker base, probably with most other bases too.
           Its not exactly the Ritz hotel standard, but that's the way it is when you pick a new planet to play with.

The items were formerly sauce holders, drink caps, old store cards and broken tags. An armed soldier (Pendraken, I think) is shown for scale.

Added soil.


Tags and modelling clay were used in this partly constructed Fortified Vehicle Entrance.

Gate from the inside.
The gate itself is under construction and I need to make some supports for the pulleys.

 The gate in blocked position.

 The gate now open.

 Resting on the ramp.

From the rear.

It is still missing the pulley system to raise and lower the gate. I should also have made the rampart bigger, so that the figures could stand on it easier. But it is a learning curve, as they say.
