Title: DavyJones build some stuff - a modular river (Update: 28.11)
Post by: DavyJones on November 20, 2016, 09:59:14 AM

I really like all the beautiful pictures here, so I decided to share some of my own stuff. I am relatively new to the hobby, so don't expect too much.  ;)

Let's start with some jungle trees:

I want to thank Dr. Mathias for his great posts in this forum. He inspires me to build the trees. You can find his post here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=41545.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=41545.0)

I like those, impressively big tree trunks.

From the description you have done some dry brushing - but perhaps a bit more to bring out the texture.

If you want to get fancy, how about some vines/creepers down the trunk?

Thanks for your comment fred. I guess you are right, some more dry brushing will help.

Adding vines/creepers is also a good idea. Quiet honestly I just forget to add these.  lol

A promising start  8)

Might I suggest to get some more vertical texture on the trunks?

cheers

Thanks James.  I'll dry a heavier dry brush.

Some new stuff: a modular river. I need that one for my pulp alley campaign.

I would put on some gloss varnish on the river proper . Looks more like water then ;) otherwise very nice!

Time for an update!

Some jungle terrain. We use it for colonial wargaming and pulp stuff.

Nice jungle pieces - have you got a link for the tall grasses?

Thanks for your comment Eric. The tall grasses are from amazon.de https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000RRQYHE/ (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000RRQYHE/) --> Mat 3.
