What is the best way to scratch build wet and dry paddies for 28mm figures?
-
Do you mean those Kung Fu type weapons?
If yes I would think a (very) fine chain & roll some milliput
onto each end. When it has set you can file it to shape.

Weapons? No, rice fields.

These look pretty good, and yet simple to make

Yes, they do look good, thanks much.

Sorry Nick, I thought you were asking about rice PADDLES.
Really must get better glasses.
I agree those rice paddies do look good, & I will need some when I
get around to doing my Empress Indo-China stuff.

Nick,
I'll be updating the 'Ponds and Marshes in 20 minutes' thread.Later this month with a rice paddies hack in under an hour.
It's just a case of re thinking your starting point and using clear acrylic as the base material.
These marshes are as low tech as you can get nothing more than a piece of paper , old CD case's,and grass tufts.total cost £4 for all three.
The lighting doesn't help the picture (reflections hide the implied depth of the water effect.)
But it should give you a rough idea of how easy it is to make rice paddies.
Mark.

Mr Bibbley makes a good one - looks like sisal string glued into holes in the paddy field
