I did the same thing recently and it worked out OK so don't panic

Cheers guys, and yup looks good Paul. Ok panic over, I shall let that one dry, then add another layer of water.

Meanwhile, a little climber action for the big tree.

I am SO going to have to make more of these! Just a little thin beige wool, soaked in a mix of water, pva, and grey/brown paint. The trick I think is not to overdo it but I’m happy with these. When dry and hardened, I think a little grey dry brush and a few splotched of green wash will be enough to finish them. Now to think about the base.....this is the bit I know I’m crap at....making jungle shrub....

Make me 20 too, that will even the score (scores?)

I hardly think so guys.....I intend to make myself half a dozen or so in time.....they are very time consuming!

I’m glad you like them!

So, I need to tackle the elephant in the room, err....jungle. Before I start putting aquarium jungle stuff around it’s base, I need to practice on some other bits. With that in mind, I will base up half a dozen palm trees with enough space for the scrub....then we will have a go.

Pleased with my egrets on the paddy field, I am now on the lookout for tropical birds and curling snakes.....

There are topics that you ignore for months - probably the subject matter just doesn’t spark an interest. Isn’t it great when you eventually look at it and find it’s totally enthralling and inspirational and has 11 pages you can gorge on? When that happens, you’ve hit the LAF jackpot. And I’ve just done that with this.

So enjoyable - a real gem.

I’m hooked.

Thank you Digits.

'Big tree' looks super; sort of thing one climbs over whilst looking for mangos, if brave enough to get off the boat...

My pleasure - it’s a great topic.

The big question is, what figures are you going to use for those demons that don’t like flying over ponds - they are obviously an essential element of this project.

I may just have to find an appropriate Asian model. To be fair, I haven’t made the pond yet.....though I do have the water lilies for it!

From what I have seen of rice planting at that time, ir was sparse. Planting nowadays us far more densewith improved plants and fertilisers.

Nice work on the tree.
