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.

Thanks for the info!

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

Drums and jungle sound in this case. :-)

Quick question to the OP'er, would you say Congo is playable in 15mm ?

No reason why not - so long as you're happy with handling/moving individually based 15mm figures. Otherwise, it should work fine. You might want to consider scaling down the rulers, table, etc, to ⅗ of their size to get exactly the same experience.

Love the bamboo - how have you fixed them to the base? Are holes drilled out and then it is stuck in?

Philhendry, nice minis and terrain, CONGRATULATIONS! It's a dangerously inspiring thread!  ;)

I'm not well, and have a had a lot on as well, so I haven't done any wargaming/painting/modelling, for some time. But this afternoon I felt inspired to fish out my new hot glue gun and try it out...

Couple of (nearly finished) jungle bases, with which I am quite satisfied.

I need more aquarium plants  ;D

Looking good - the random mix of plants works extremely well!
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Thank you!

The plants are dirt cheap on eBay from China and/or Hong Kong, and they arrive surprisingly quickly too.

Yup, I recently found a cheap vendor based here in Denmark, too, but I have already bought almost all I want from their ranges, so ebay will be my next stop for this!  :D

Hope your back on your feet quickly Phil.
