“Fire in the hole!” - time to kick some ass!

[Digits]

That’s the intent!

I poured it a bit too deep.  You are meant to pour no deeper than 3mm….I may have exceeded that hence how long it’s taking.  But it was completely milky white yesterday so definitely clearing.

More of a pondereance though….same product poured over the same coloured rice bushes….yet all three fields have yielded different final colours for the rice! Lol

I’m hoping they dry like the first one I did so time yet.

Found a bag of palm trees, enough for half a dozen bases at least, so I need to do those next I think….

[Digits]

Productive couple of hours.

Cut and sanded the bases,  used up the last two and a half bags of bamboo I had to make three more thickets and  I also sorted the worst of the flash and mounted the palms.

Once the superglue has been prised from my fingers, I can start on the bamboo washes and the sand basing.

Good work.
I have started painting some figures.

Started reading the rules.  A bit to digest but I think it will work with a few players each taking a squad.   

I dusted off the few marines I already bought.  Certainly enough for a section plus platoon hq. I need to get a few more minis at month end, mainly VC / main force VC.  I can then play thru the rules…easier for me to visualise.

Is that the FNG rules
I liked the campaign aspect of the rules

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice set of trees.

[Digits]

Cheers…well they would be……my new Bosch glue pen has packed in, and I can’t find my old glue gun so finishing them may not happen for a while….

Those look great. What do you use to cut those mats for your bases?

[Digits]

Simple electric jigsaw.  Then I bevel with a Stanley knife and sand the edges.   Thought I’d run out of place mats but just found another pack of four whilst looking for glue gun!

All the palms come with a small lug on the end, so I drill the mat and the tree just slots in.

The bamboo is just a case of drilling lots of holes !

Every time my wife buys new place-mats I get
the old ones 
If I find I am using them up too fast, I trawl
the charity shops. I can normally pick up a lot
for not much cash.

[Digits]

Yup, they are great!  No war page and with the cork back, no slippage either.  I dread to think over the years how many I’ve used!

ok so Amazon prime to the rescue with a less than 24 hour delivery of a cheap glue gun!

The bamboo has deliberately been left with open areas on the tow larger clumps.  I will in due course make some gun pits etc that can be placed in them as necessary.

Should be able to field a decent sized bamboo Forrest with these additions.

Found a nice aquarium wild moss at Pets at Home that gave me the upright grasses for the palm bases.

nice terrain additions

Looking good. Kinda needs some napalm exploding in the distance

100% this...and “The End” playing in the background

Perhaps one day I will set up that picture!
