Cheers fella....a ways to go yet but I’m looking forward to getting him finished.

Ok, so the shots that bring all the jungle pieces so far together.  I just finished three more trees.  Going to take a rest from making trees for a while.....and concentrate on figures and other stuff.  I’m quite pleased how this is turning out.

That's a nice selection of arboreal splendor - and a rather technicolor rendition of pygmies, too.  And I spied some slate winged populace among all the greenery. 

Imagine if you painted a collection of camouflaged pygmies and placed them in your jungle.  Why, it might be years before you saw some of them again as they emerged from their hiding places.  ;)

So-oo, if the colorful masks throw off the 'scent'- or even 'sight' of the carnivorous dinosaurs, how does that impact the herbivorous ones?  Might they think of them as colorful flowers worthy of a nibble or two?  Your jungle is not a good place to be a 'little guy'.  And what about the heat seeking ones?  Many a modern reptile finds its pray through heat sensing.  Maybe they need a nice quite cold water pool tucked away in the jungle somewhere?

Hope some of those more contemporary folk who might appear have a soft spot for the pygmies - at least until they feel the sting of a dart!

“Soft spot”?  Yes, I intend to have cannibals.

Cheers fella, glad you like them!

I think I need to paint a few parrots to add a small splash of colour.

Also been thinking and adding to my list.   Like I said, I will be making a river, and I would love to see it teaming with hippos and crocs.  There are a few waterline versions available, but not enough, so I am going to rectify that problem for myself.....

Hmmm - both intriguing and slightly sinister. What could he be planning....?

Nothing overly sinister.  First bits ordered.  Let me try it before revealing all.

Meanwhile, I couldn’t resist.  I found ANOTHER wire armature I’d started and forgotten about so that will be seven trees.  Tbh, the base with little and large on it robbed me of a tall tree as I needed shorty to hold tall guy up.  I can finish this one over the weekend.

Uh-oh!  Hope it is just my system but a whole bunch of the photos aren't showing up for me now that were just a day ago.  Will try again later to check.

None of Digits photo's show up for me either.  Hopefully it's a timing issue.
