Title: Pagan sacrificial tree for 28mm
Post by: nervisfr on August 24, 2022, 12:53:37 PM: hey guys,
A good friend of mine had the misfortune to give me the following link to appreciate the work done by Dalauppror. ;D
right here : https://dalauppror.blogspot.com/2017/08/cult-of-odin.html (https://dalauppror.blogspot.com/2017/08/cult-of-odin.html)

As a result, I feel compelled to make one as an objective or game marker. For my vikings, Saxon or Ancient German. o_o
I will try not to disappoint him.....and all of you

Cheers
Eric

Title: Re: Pagan sacrificial tree for 28mm
Post by: nervisfr on August 27, 2022, 02:54:54 PM: The branches are sprayed with glue and coated with glue varnish (or Mod Podge) and paper handkerchiefs to obtain a texture imitating wood
the base is made with styrene foam
Next step: Add the roots

Now start the most difficult part of this unexpected project :
Decorate and embellish this tree as well as Dalauppror done for his own.
Victims (old and new), weapons as trophy and offerings of course...may be a crow or two

Cheers
Eric

Title: Re: Pagan sacrificial tree for 28mm
Post by: nervisfr on October 01, 2022, 09:25:57 AM: Thank you guys.
The basing is nearly finished and i hope to show you the work this week-end.
I add some foliage too as the tree is not completely dead.

We played yesterday a Teutoburg scenario with FFoL core rules with a lot of fun during the game.
I think to use this tree for a coming scenario as an aftermath of the ambush.
Cheers
Eric

Title: Re: Pagan sacrificial tree for 28mm
Post by: rumacara on October 19, 2022, 10:11:24 AM: Looking very nice Eric. :-* :-*

Just an opinion but i would darken a bit that tree base. Also try diferent bush colors here and there. It creates a more contrast and helps with the tree and its elements. Before glue just place them and see the effect. :)
Title: Re: Pagan sacrificial tree for 28mm
Post by: nervisfr on October 19, 2022, 01:42:46 PM: thank you Rui.
it's still a wip
i have to include my long grass etc....And as you say, other colors ;)
