My Attempt at Jungle Terrain
« on: January 26, 2016, 06:57:31 AM »
After being inspired by by some of the other jungle projects here, I've made an attempt at my own jungle terrain:



Feedback and suggestions welcome!

Seeing the top half of the above image as I was scrolling down I was convinced it was your reference photos! Very lifelike.

Exactly the same here! Very nice indeed!

Very nice. "Evocative" is the word I want to use, because despite the unorthodox plants it really does trigger some sort of instinct in the mind to immediately think "jungle!".

That moss roll material you're using for the plants clinging to the cork bark is a new discovery to me. I'll have to see if it's available where I live. Is it actual moss or synthetic?
"When to keep awake against the camel's swaying or the junk's rocking, you start summoning up your memories one by one, your wolf will have become another wolf, your sister a different sister, your battle other battles, on your return from Euphemia, the city where memory is traded." - Italo Calvino

Thanks Everyone! Glad to hear people feel it looks the part. For the moss roll, it is a tangle of synthetic fibers that have been flocked with real moss bits.

Shall we adjust and refer to this as "your success at jungle terrain"?  Why, yes, I think we shall.  Naysayers please report to the bottom of the hole filled with poisonous snakes.   ;)
