Umfufu Village (scratchbuilt DA town)
« on: 16 July 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?

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

The fire pits are a wonderful addition to the terrain.

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.
