Blackivarr's Archipelago
« on: 17 August 2017, 03:40:20 PM »
Hello all. I thought I would share the terrain I've made for Ghost Archipelago (and Pulp Alley).

The waterfalls fold up to reveal a hidden cave

Inspiring work. Where did you get those little plastic ferns, like the one on the base of the ruined brick wall in the last picture?

I bought a few "grass mats" from the craft store then pulled them apart.

 The store is called Michaels, the mats are made by Ashland. I got them with a 50% off online coupon......SCORE!

That looks great.

I've seen these mats being sold as "aquarium grass" on ebay and they are dirt cheap. You can also get other plastic aquarium plants to make the jungle look even more "alien"

That is some really nice looking terrain!  In particular I like how you just did the trunks of the larger trees which gives the feel of the dense forest without having the canopy blocking the players view of the table.  Very cool idea.  Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Thanks, I can't claim the idea though. The tutorial is here: http://glueanddice.com/jungle-trees-for-wargaming/

Thanks, it was my first crack at water. I learned quite a bit. It's Woodland Scenics realistic water and water effects.
