Title: Some Real Quick African Hut Builds
Post by: Smokeyrone on 20 June 2020, 07:45:26 PM

Took maybe 20 minutes, including paint drying.

Has potential.  Wanted a different look for my friendly African tribe village.

Gonna work on this system a bit.

 Wow far better than they deserve to be for 20 minutes work! That's the kind of return on time investment I
like !

So, it works?  Gonna make some round huts like this, see if it suffices.

Smashing! They look like they'd be quite versatile. That bamboo-ish covering that goes over the structure - can you buy that, or did you make it?

 Those are cool. A nice change from the usual round huts that populate most African games.

Very nice indeed.
Could be mounted on a platform, for jungle / Vietnam games maybe ?

Are those cut up placements for the sides and tops of the huts, Smokey?

Nice.  I like how you did the irregular reinforcements.

I agree, they’d look great in Vietnam, Tonkin, Polynesia, etc. Smokey that’s a great use of ever day materials. What type of mat is it?

Smokey, great idea, I love how you source simple materials and make it look so good! Please pick me up (2) mats when you go and I’ll get them from you at the next game or con.
