CANCON 2023- LARD DOWN UNDER - The Battle for Wau - Jungle Table

The second gaming table ready for Cancon 2023, for Len Tracey to host the Australians battling it out with the Japanese in the Battle for Wau. Once again all the terrain was scratched built by me, way back in 2018 for "Chain of Command a Pacific Odyssey" at Cancon 2019.  The only new item I have included is the burnt out Wirraway plane on the runway.



There is a mix of different terrain features on the table from, Primary and secondary jungle, Kunai grass, palm plantation  and home gardens.

I was going to purchase a 1:35 scale Wirraway plastic kit but the price put me off. As this was going to be a wreaked plane I opted  to make one from foam core cardboard and stuck the pieces together with a glue gun. 
Painted with Vallejo paints.
The Wirraway  on the runway, added a bit of white fluff to simulate it still smoldering.


Hope to post images of the battle once underway at Cancon 2023.
Cheers John

  4. I really like the table. The plane is a great idea ...we did a zero for Tarawa ...all shot up and burnt out. We glued in some wires as internal wing stuctures and a pilot shacking his sword at the sky...lol. the blend of materials used also makes the surface much more interesting....great stuff.
