How about wax paper that you use for cooking, that's already a brown colour and should roll up nicely  :)

No, you can get really thick stuff and it's cheap enough so it doesn't matter that much if it breaks after a couple of uses (you can use it too bake cakes with afterwards  :))

Re: Chicken Race on the Arumbaya, RN Luanches completed

Motor Lunch 1 of the HMS Reckless, for now named 'Toot':



The second one, temporarily named 'Puddle'



Both names comes from one of Fivers', Son of Hammers, morning shows.

Here they are manned by 16 of the RN Landing party.



I have shown these elsewhere, but upon request I can do close ups. I have been considering ordering new ones to paint in RN whites or to strip these and redo them as I thought I was not happy with the PJ. As it happens I am not, they look quite al right held in one's hand. I may just leave them as they are. I mean, do I really need two sets?

I also like them a lot! Nice weathering and mud-ing! :) And as always very nice detailing.

Should there be a photo with dudes in a boat, cause it ain't showing!

'Driver'... You fucking lubber... 

It's 'master', 'navigator' or 'pilot' and they are the Second Lieutenant in ´Puddle' and he First Mate in 'Toot'. See, right there, next to the other fellow and the chap in dark blue.  ;)

Re: Chicken Race on the Arumbaya: More monsters...
« Reply #133 on: June 17, 2011, 12:34:38 PM »
Welll, when I say 'monsters'...



These will all be dispersed between various elements of the game, mostly for decoration.

It was very rewarding painting these. You can learn a lot about the plight of macaws as you are looking for inspiration to paint them. Fivers, Son of Hammers was very enthusiastic as we've been watching the trailer of 'Rio' together...

Some pics:



Scarlet Macaw, Ara macao




Hyacinth Macaw, Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus




Blue-and-Gold Macaw, Ara ararauna




Military Macaw, Ara militaris




Spix's Macaw, Cyanopsitta spixii




Toco Toucan, Ramphastos toco




Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Cacatua galerita,

I know, I know, cockatoos are not indigenous to the Amazon basin, but I figure one must gotten loose from some globe-trotting sailor at some point...

More monster encounters...









These last ones are waterline models from Ral Parths. I've filed down the base to make them rest snugger to the board. The water has npt been painted yet on these as I have yet to determine it's colour.
