I made some garden sculptures (don't know what the right term is actually... sculptures made out of hedge) for our games of modern Supers.

The Human Bee, Credible Hulk, Bruce Laa and Jesus are about to smash some zombies in the botanical garden og Røvede.

I can only approve!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* (love the pun too)

How did you make them? My future battlefields are going to be littered with these things.

I just took some different figures (from the kids') and painted them with glue and put sand on them. Then I painted the sand in greens and wupti doo.

Very nice; I did this with some out-of-scale plastic figures as well a few years back, my Workbench thread is here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=14498.0).

My pleasure Paul! I almost choked myself inhaling a guffaw the first time I looked at it. If anyone ever asks me what my all time top superhero team would be it will now be Bruce Laa, Jesus, the Human Bee and the Credible Hulk.

In my head that scene goes something like this:

Bruce Laa: oooowaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.......aaahhhhhhh........aaaaaahhhhhh....aah
The Human Bee: bzzzzzz bzzzzzz I will sting you with my super sting.......and then die......
The Credible Hulk: I can explain my powers and rationalise them making my persona so much more believable.
Jesus: Enjoying that water villain? Well take this........pow........wine.....how do you like that punk?

LOOOOL!!!!!


Where you hiding out between the tents at Åcon this year?

The Human Bee does have a one use sting, and Credible Hulk does have a "logic" psychic power, and yes, Bruce Laa runs around screaming like a retarded without actually causing much damage.  lol lol lol

I'll add the Jesus powers.  lol


By the by, I was sort of expecting Mason to send me an elk to make more topiary from  ;)
