And here's the first of the terrain bits - tents and a campfire (from Renedra) - the latter needs a base, but that'll have to wait.

These are very nice indeed Phil, and have the same softness, neatness and complementing colour choices I have come to expect of your work. Bravo!

I am presently working on four of the Grand Manner tents (adding guy ropes from wire has been fiddly but worth it) and have gone for a different style, with base coat, AP shade and then dry brushing to finish. I have to say I prefer the look you have created and now wish i had gone that way. That said, while mine do not look like the kind of tent Harrods would sell you, they should at least pass for mouldering canvas slowly drying out after the rainy reason and six months in the jungle.

First jungly bit for Congo - fairly experimental. Think it 'works' though I'm not sure about the base edges. Bamboo came from some Chinese eBay outfit. Still needs a squirt of matt varnish.

Looks good, I'd suggest a bit of flock on the base edges, so it will blend in better with your table. Otherwise you will end up with a light brown halo around each piece of terrain.

Bamboo clumps look great. I am hoping to use the same idea of inset circles to allow for removal for movement but I was going to omit the bottom base and cover the bottom of the holes with plasticard or similar.

Nice work, Phil.
They look great!

Thanks!

This has been sat, finished, on my workbench since Sunday - real life has just got a lot busier.

Looks great! Have been wanting to make some bamboo myself - mind revealing your eBay connection?

Thank you!

Bear in mind that 100 pieces doesn't go very far - each of those big bases has close to 100 pieces on. Spacing them about 6mm or ¼" apart seems about right.

I like threads like this one where a inner soundtrack sets in after watching the first pictures.

Now I'm curious... What is the soundtrack?
