Terrain ideas and guides
Hello everyone, I've been thinking lately about acquiring and building some of my own scenery and was wondering if people had links to good companies to purchase scenery from or good tutorials on how to build your own etc.
Any help or advice would be appreciated even for simple things like how you do your roads.

I was just about to post something a long the same lines as you. I've also been looking for some more DIY instructions.
I just started Bolt Action a few weeks ago. I actually for the "Starter Kit" Last Friday.
Here is a few things that I've made some far, hopefully I can finish up the Ruined Farmhouses here soon so I can have a decent tabletop.
This are how I made my hedges, I plan on making some more actually.
This is how I made my sandbags, which are a little off on "Scale" wise but the height of them are about perfect
The Barn I used this site. it was the first time I ever did papercraft. I used the recommended paper thickness and it was super easy. I'm still trying to figure a way to reinforce the roof so I can keep it removable. It cost $.95 so I wasn't a deal for me. I also want to color the inside or something so it looks a little more normal.
Here is a list of this I plan on making once I get all my supplies together:
Roads that I haven't started yet, but I plan on using
Bushes that I also want to make but need a few bases and a wire brush
Trees that I also plan on making once I get a hot glue gun.
I also looked through pretty much all the post on r/TerrainBuilding using keywords like WWII/28mm but there was little help there. Hopefully this post will blow up and give me more ideas.
Nice, this kind of thing is what I was after. I have done some googling and found

The tip about using the back of a knife to give better edges to the sandbags is something I'm going to try out. Now I just need to find somewhere that does modelling clay or milliput.
I like this method, might use it to put some sandbags on my tanks/artillery.
I found mine at Hobby Lobby... and I used my 40% coupon to get it for pretty cheap.
A green scourer for a hedge row...bloody genius.
