Hi Gents
After my recent travels inthe Yucatan I am inspired to churn out some more Meso-american terrain.
Digging out some Indiana Jones playsets I will start a Mayan construction wip

Thanks Gents
The rough plan is to build a 'house of Chaacs' using the mouth of the largest Chaac as a door way.
The building will be on a detachable plinth(the plinth will be user friendly across the anceint world) with
snake/crocodile(depending on your view point) staircase decoration.
That is a very base outline so far

Shaun

Very nice! Keep us posted...this would equally apply to Pulp games.
Where did you go in the Yucatan? I've been to a number of Mesoamerican sites. My all time favorite is probably Tikal, in Guatemala. I've also been to ones in Honduras, Belize and of course Mexico. There are always more to visit it seems...

Hi Mike
We stayed at Chichen Itza & Uxmal & visited sites in a 2hour radius including Campeche. All good quality stuff with lots of inspiration. Having breakfast opposite a Chaac Mool is just unreal.
Hope to get some WIP pics up today

Shaun

Started work on the large idol
Firstly preparing the model. I removed a layer of stone work 1) To make it more figure friendly 2) to have an open base that fits better on my terrain squares 3) to save the stonework that is hidden under the base
.
The model was glued with scrap plastic card supports & filled with Caulk

Sorry about the Cthulu crossover!
More construction pics

Painting stage
The model is sprated Matt white using car body paint
The statue is painted with a brown Dulux emulsion
The base is then painted Snakebite Leather(Dulux emulsion)
When dry the base is drybrushed with Peach (poster paint
The whole model is drybrushed Beached Bone(Dulux emulsion)
More soon

Wow the terrain looks awesome. Very inspiring.

Next the Vine growing up the front of the statue is picked out with Nato Green (Tamiya) then Woodland Green (Citadel) and final highlight of Bumble Bee Yellow (Wilkinson test pot)
The whole model has a light drybrush of Cockpit Green (Tamiya) - heavier on the lower base area, giving a moss effect
Small clumps of static grass are PVA 'd to the base area
And lastly the whole model is given a coat of hairspray to seal it
And that it folks!
