SandPort - rock outcrops WIP - 22.01.2019

Tasty!

[Dr DeAth]

Can't believe it's been over two years since I updated this thread, is there a time limit on threadomancy? 

SandPort took a bit of a back seat while I worked on other projects, most of which came to nothing and a few which actually turned out ok (like my Beaverlick Falls Old West town http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=105875.0) and I was never really happy with the colour scheme I chose for the setting, the sand/brown was a bit dreary, which is another reason my attention wandered.

However, some recent games with FFoL:Galactic Heroes with James' (OSHIROmodels) excellent Star Wars setup (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=107667.0) and the slow but steady purchasing of some Retro Sci-Fi figures re kindled my interest. Also a VSF on Mars project prompted me to make a Martian mat, which got me thinking that I could use the same colour palette for SandPort and, if I'm clever about it, use the same terrain for 15mm SandPort, 28mm VSF and 28mm Retro Sci-fi too.

Here goes . . .





More to follow as I build new items and rebase the old

Splendid, good to see quality resurrection

WELCOME BACK!!

Oh sorry, I'll dial it down a bit:

Welcome back! You have been missed. I loved Sandport in all its dreariness, but this looks like it will be awesome as well!

Sweeeeeeeeet!

Those trees look ace - are they pine cones?

[Dr DeAth]

Sweeeeeeeeet!

Those trees look ace - are they pine cones?

Yes, pine cones that have been eaten by squirrels with some plastic aquarium plant added.  The plant has been 'dipped' in home made dip.

I have been attempting to persuade the local squirrel (singular) to chew
pine cones, but he just runs away up the tree. He has absolutely no
problem destroying the plastic bird feeders on a regular basis, but
not interested in my nuts, sorry cones.

Great colours you've achieved there.

[Etranger]

Good to see this back.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice work.

Scarily when I clicked on "previous" while on the next thread, I arrived on page 2!

It has been a while...

[hubbabubba]

Excellent trees, love the colour you've chosen.

[Mason]

Looking good, sir, those bushes will look great next to your enormous butte!
 


Good to hear that you have been converted too.
It makes much more sense to try and make all of your scenery generic.

While your original colour drabness was quite realistic (most of the ground in Iran I visited recently was exactly like that), and would make unique and consequent setting..

New colour palette is much more visually attractive

[Dr DeAth]

Thanks for all the comments chaps

Making some 'volcanic' rocks next

Is that just spray foam?
