Don't say that, you'll end up with someone doing a James May and creating a 2,000 square fot jungle made out of plasticine.

On a coincidental note,  I went to petsmart and picked up some aquarium plants (Cost me $7.77, which is the Surcharge of the beast), and then my Mother in-law gave me enough plastic vegetation (she does fairly impressive interior decorating and had leftovers) to make more jungle terrain than I'll ever need.

This week's project, which will distract me nicely from my LPL painting, will be to make jungle.

Plastic aquarium plant are good. But too many makes your jungle look too... well... plastic! Throw in some silk-type plants to take the gleaning glisten off it a bit. Silk leaves can be trimmed and shaped to look just about like any type of plant you want.

Matt spray finish takes care of most of the "to shinny" look.

Here's my jungle terrain + a small WIP. They are also made out of plastic plants and bits and pieces from a floralshop.

Hope you enjoy it!

Lovely jungle, Belgian  :-*  It's great how gamers can take the same basic ingredients and make such individualistic terrain.

I'm hoping it's modelled on the Congo rain forest  ;)

Poundworld (not Poundland) is selling a range of plastic potted plants at the minute, which are great for jungle scenery. You get a lot of greenery for your Pound, even better value than aquarium plants.

Might have to look for them on Monday.

Figures, I've been through the Copplestone site a million times but never really look at their "Non-Human" selection.

You must really try to build some jungle terrain! They would look awesome in a jungly environment. jungle terrain isn't so expensive to make all my junglepieces, I bought maybe for 15 euros of aquariumplants (enought to fill a big plastic storagebox!) + the already made 40 junglestands.

But I've got some old jungle terrainpieces based on old cd's nothing special but if your interested, pb me.  ::)

Greets,
