Phase 6B Complete

Welcome to the Jungle!

After a few days with a hot glue gun in one hand and a few piles of plastic foliage in front of me, and I've made some fast and cheap terrain for the jungle themed Gloam-Hyyn and Toulmorese to fight in. Of course I had previously prepped the project by laying in supplies: wooden bases and more plastic foliage during a trip to the dollar store and buying several bags of palm trees from Model Builder Supply last Hotlead. Then I took advantage of some spare time and decent weather a few months back to spray paint the bases brown. So months of prep to just finally have a frenzy of hot glue and tea leaves.

It's rather like how all my terrain projects go. Months or years of kicking ideas about and stockpiling materials and until the creative urge takes over and I shout "Quit faffing about and just do it!" and it gets done.

Flocking with cheap dollar store, undrinkable really, tea and coloured saw dust. Honestly, I'm doing the tea a favour by giving it a decent use.

About 1/6th of my table covered (note Quar in front of building for scale). I think if I add some marshes, streams, and my bag of lichen I could cover a full third. Space things out a bit more and probably half the table.

Pasha Dan gifted me a resin aquarium building for colonial games. Could be on Alwyd too.

Note cake decorating palm tree on poker chip

The Jungle Green fatigues work very well. 

These were made in the same way as my smaller jungle pieces. I just added palm trees from Model Builder Supply and bigger bases. I spent about $3 or $4 on plastic foliage and $3 on a couple of packs of bigger wooden bases from the dollar store, so the trees were probably 75% to 80% of the cost of the project. I also did some small oval and tear drop shaped bases with wooden craft shapes I already had on hand.

I've also added to the assortment some old cake decorating palm trees glued to poker chips I did for my colonial games many years ago. They will add a bit of variety to the heights.

I think the 3d printed moths I've asked Don to produce for me will look really smashing as Patrol Markers in this for games of Quar of Command.
