The next piece of terrain needed for my Rommel Project was some town bases. I searched about on the internet, it was surprising how expensive 6mm terrain can be, but I eventually found some nice pieces from Monday Knight Productions that were reasonably priced.
Although my playing pieces are all 6mm, 1/285 buildings are way out of scale for Rommel where each 15cm grid is a square kilometre in ground scale. I felt it best to stick with a uniform scale for the games. After some thought I decided 3 kilometres of town was probably OK. I may add one further piece to make a 2 km square large town block but we will see. I used 13cm square bases from Batbases and glued the buildings on them. What follows was the process.

Glued building and then added some wood filler. |
 |
Same colours used as bases |
 |
I then painted each building a cream colour washed them Vallejo Sepia Wash and then drybrushed them white. |
 |
Decided to go with a central street as depicted in the photo above. |
 |
The mosque tile |
 |
An end piece |
 |
I like how they came out. |
Well I have some more mountain pieces to do and I will have to figure out a way to represent some Wadis.
Great work.
