Title: Umfufu Village (scratchbuilt DA town)
Post by: Smokeyrone on July 16, 2020, 01:56:11 AM

Umfufu, home of King Kamonya.

Adding rest of palisade and finishing touches tonight.  (notice I forgot to make one hut's roof)

Not bad, for a quickie, eh?

You seem to have a real knack for this type of thing, Smokey.  :)

Cool stuff. Not bad for what looks like mostly a beach mat I like the thatched roofs.

Fab  :-*

The fire pits are a wonderful addition to the terrain.

Looks great! What did you use for the wall of the village?

The village walls, and the huts (not roofs,   just hut walls) are cut strips of a reed beachmat

Ok, its looking better....

More inventive stuff  :-*

If you don't mind me asking, where do the metal and ornamental items come from?

They are plastic beads, in a mixed bag, I found at Joanne Fabrics (also at Michaels).  Many of them make perfect clay pottery.  Another pack actually has African art scribed on them.
