Last of the Mohicans-esque cliff terrain? -- Finished, 9/14/13

[von Lucky]

Firstly, looking very good; nice tones and shape.

Secondly, I've just realised that the film is now 21 years old!

Thirdly, Studi was in 'Avatar'.

These look fantastic. Look forward to seeing them with the other terrain you intend to use for the game. I've assumed throughout the build these are for 28mm? How do they compare in size to figures you intend to use? Just in case you intend to have Alice Monroe throwing herself off the cliff!!!

[Hammers]

Very Indian summer choice of colors.

[Captain Blood]

They look absolutely great 
The challenge will be how to make the rest of the tabletop look just as good as the rocky outcrops. So it all blends into one gorgeous table.

As a school teacher, that's sometimes how I feel about my life...

Seriously, thanks for the comments. Heading out now to run the game at Advance the Colors three times this weekend. Hope to get some good shots. And to be honest, I haven't actually set a figure on or next to the cliffs, yet. I've been so busy. But they are indeed 28mm.

Thanks for the comments!

That's lovely.

As someone who has previously dismissed using bark because, a) the large sections have been ridiculously expensive and b) I feel iffy about carving off chunks from trees with no idea of the effect it would have, the idea of using cheap bark chippings is a really one that I will probably use in future.

Here's a couple shots of the cliffs with figures on them from the game I ran 3 times at the local con, this weekend.

I was VERY happy with how they looked on the tabletop...and got lots of nice comments on both the table and the game itself...!

Breathtaking, Mike! I'm betting you got plenty of interest and wows from this set up.

[Melnibonean]

They have a very natural look - No doubt a mix of your selection of materials and brushwork.
Great stuff. 

[Goosegog]

They look fantastic, and work really well. 

[Eric the Shed]

Looks fabulous well done sir must do this myself

Thanks, everyone! I certainly was happy with the nice comments passers by made at the museum, too. The neat thing was all the "civilians" -- non-gamers visiting the museum -- who came by to ask about it and admire. I must have had a dozen attendees come up and lament that they couldn't get on my game as it was signed up full...and I had 8 spots and was running it three times!

I certainly appreciate all of your suggestions, comments, and praise over the course of the thread. Far from burning me out, this had me come back for the show, go through my unpainted lead, and pull out a batch to paint up next! It has been a shot of adrenaline, of sorts, to see this through to completion and have it work out as well or better than I'd hoped....!
