Games of the North: 20/5 completed carts, commerce & captives (GoT)

Thanks James  

The trouble I had with flow is that it's directional, whereas the tiles are omni-directional: the water having to work in both directions. With this in mind I went for turbulence rather than flow.  There are also a couple of tiles that aren't so turbulent, so instead of lots of teased peaks, there's much less of the white stuff and what there is is rounded/flattened for odd bits of residual foam. That was my thinking.  

One can only admire the thoughtfulness behind the execution.

Why thank you DG  . (Though my wife would say that I more often over think  )

I wasn't going to post up this stage but the addition of the trees (albeit temporary, as they remove from their plugs) adds another set of colours and shapes to the overall mess of the countryside, to some extent breaking up the browns, greys and white.

As mentioned previously, there are only 10 trees with the tallest at 105mm: not made by me, I've merely added the plugs.





Also provides a better view of the ford, showing the changing depth of the water:





And a whole table shot, just to tie it all together:



In the next set of images it'll be much greener, as it will have been flocked.

stunning terrain indeed

Very fitting but you need to hurry up and get the green shit on it 

cheers

Thanks TR1

If only one was permitted to swear at fellow members ....

The trees work for me, they're got a nice colouration and form.

[Captain Blood]

That is going to be a very nice layout once you've finished it

[tyrionhalfman]

Looking amazing. Thanks for sharing

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps: feedback always appreciated

Lord Percy Percy: [removes lump of Green from pot] Oh, Edmund... can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest Green?
Blackadder: Yes indeed, Percy, except that it's not really a nugget but more of a splat.

Yep, the green has been splatted on:



After the glue has cured it'll lose a fair amount of the coarser stuff but the end is in sight with just tweaking, tufts, rushes and bushes to add (though the inside of the inn awaits titivating).

You're a remorseless terrain building machine.

Love what you're doing here with your modular sections.

Noodling on something like this - but a bit down the road. Got enough irons in the fire at the moment.

[Dr. The Viking]

All of it is very good. I could never do this!

[OSHIROmodels]

Great stuff 

Next thing, buy a decent camera 

 

cheers

I just wonder how happy you are with using wood glue for the main body of the water?
Its really difficult to tell ( from the photos ) just how much 'depth' there is in it??
I know your river was never meant to be deep, but is it properly 3D? If you know what i mean?

I only ask as iv'e been looking at various scenic resins and water products for a board i'm about to start construction on and using a gallon or so of wood glue would save a very serious amount of money....

[Mason]

This is all quite good really.
Even the green 'shit' looks passable.

I'm with Dilettante Gamer. Its bad enough I have to focus on painting figures without being distracted by the results of some inspirational terrain building! Looking great and very jealous!
