Thank you!

Bear in mind that 100 pieces doesn't go very far - each of those big bases has close to 100 pieces on. Spacing them about 6mm or ź" apart seems about right.

Thanks for the info!

Now I'm curious... What is the soundtrack?

Drums and jungle sound in this case. :-)

Quick question to the OP'er, would you say Congo is playable in 15mm ?

No reason why not - so long as you're happy with handling/moving individually based 15mm figures. Otherwise, it should work fine. You might want to consider scaling down the rulers, table, etc, to ⅗ of their size to get exactly the same experience.

Love the bamboo - how have you fixed them to the base? Are holes drilled out and then it is stuck in?

Philhendry, nice minis and terrain, CONGRATULATIONS! It's a dangerously inspiring thread!  ;)

I'm not well, and have a had a lot on as well, so I haven't done any wargaming/painting/modelling, for some time. But this afternoon I felt inspired to fish out my new hot glue gun and try it out...

Couple of (nearly finished) jungle bases, with which I am quite satisfied.

I need more aquarium plants  ;D

Looking good - the random mix of plants works extremely well!
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Thank you!

The plants are dirt cheap on eBay from China and/or Hong Kong, and they arrive surprisingly quickly too.

Yup, I recently found a cheap vendor based here in Denmark, too, but I have already bought almost all I want from their ranges, so ebay will be my next stop for this!  :D
