Easy Bamboo Vegetation Tutorial

[Belgian]

I have just finished this bamboo terrain tutorial: Forget all the hard ways to make bamboo vegetation for your 28mm wargames as with this tutorial you will be able to fill up your oriental tabletop in no time. Although these bamboo bases won’t win prizes and probably won’t be recognised by the true bamboo connoisseur, they look splendid and convincing on the tabletop.

Filling up a table of bamboo vegetation has always seemed to be a daunting task looking at the many tutorials already available on the internet. Luckily most of those bamboo tutorials are created for diorama purposes and made with small quantities in mind. In this tutorial we won’t be making single bamboo plants but whole bases of them allowing you to quickly fill up your table with some great line of sight blockers and creating a dense oriental bamboo forest feel. You can find the fully illustrated tutorial here: http://wargameterrain.blogspot.be/2013/11/how-to-easy-bamboo-vegetation.html

Interesting approach for a tough plant to model

Its always nice to see 2 different approaches to making scenery.
Simple and easy but still quite effective as shown here vs. advanced bamboo modelling for the connoisseur, as provided in the good Doctor's Arboreal Extravaganza.

Either way, I doubt that you'll be disappointed.

Thanks for the comments, as you say it really depends which method your prefer or how much terrain you need to cover but I must admit that the tutorials by Mathias inspired me to tackle some bamboo as I also tried his method but needed some more terrain. Proof, even more bamboo madness for more detail pieces:

Nicely done.

I agree, a simple method is useful if you are trying to crank out a bunch of terrain and don't need to sweat the details.
Great job on both projects.

The bases with the statues look fantastic 

I knew my method was a pain in the ass going into it

Thanks, the heads were casted using some hard plastic moulds I purchased cheap, it certainly managed to get me crazy after making a dozen or so  So I then made my version for the rest of the small table and another budha statue, you can never have enough of them.
