Some terrain for SAGA.

[Gunbird]

Nice swamp, an original way to do one, must copy that. How did you do the villa floor? Is it printed?

[shandy]

Very nice, both the swamps and the Villa! And great to see that other people are also doing SAGA in 15mm...

Thank you very much for the kind words. They are greatly appreciated.

I’m especially chuffed with regards to the comments regarding the tufts as they were made by me 

The marsh was a bit of an experiment. I wasn't particularly happy with how some of the tufts of one particular colour originally turned out, but I thought they may well work on marsh bases. Normally for reeds and marshes I drill a hole through the base of the board and thread coloured sisal string through and glue it into place, which is one reason the boards pieces have been sitting around for awhile.

Using the longer tufts was much easier and a lot quicker.

The mosaics were taken from Google Images and resized to fit the rooms. The Villa is based heavily on the model used in the '1066 And All That' article in Wargames Illustrated #305.

That's exactly the sort of idea that I would singularly fail to think of

You made the tufts? Wow, nice work. May I ask how? They look better than some shop bought ones I've seen.

Lovelly work on the scenario pieces.
Well done.

They are made using a rather dodgy static grass applicator I made using a tutorial from YouTube 

This is just one of the many tutorials on how to make the applicator and the one that convinced me to give it a go -
And this explains how to make the tufts -

I only decided to make my own as I was using quite a few tufts on commission pieces and I thought it would be a way of reducing the cost to my customers. It also allowed me to not be so conservative with the tufts as I found it could be quite addictive.

Up to that point I was using and still do use, the tufts sold by Silfor/Mininatur Tufts and those sold by Tajima, which are great and probably my favourites - http://www.tajima1.co.uk/index.asp

I can't remember if the tutorial gives any warnings, but you need to be careful when using it as it can give you a bit of a shock if you're not careful. However, that may well be down to my poor workmanship and the tool using it (i.e.: me), and not the tool itself 

Cheers,

Barry

Thanks Barry. That sounds both intriguing and worrying at the same time!
