*I'm not very good with technology or with glue. The combination of the two was a little daunting. I wanted to try it while The Wife was at Her Mother's in case I destroyed the house.
Within minutes I had a whole grove of my patented garlic trees.
I could paint them up as palm trees, but I quite liked their otherworldly look of them as-is when I had them on the table for my solo Dino Hunt playtest. Exotic flora.
And for the fauna, a not quite swarm of giant bees.*
*Come on guys, they're giant bees, how many do you want?!
It was only after doing this, that I realised how apposite was the tile I was doing the hot-gluing on...
And now on to my Special Project...
The other week I spotted this book on t'internet* and immediately ordered one.
After spending a couple of hours painstakingly sticking bones together, I left them on the table where they met with a whippet-related accident. I am now banned from making things out of chicken bones,*
*In case the darling dogges choke on them.
I wasn't intending to do a model of a museum skellyton like in the book, but rather something terrain-y than explorers might come across - possibly even the fabled Dinosaurs' Graveyard.
You are in fine form today!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteBlimey! A productive afternoon! I look forward to seeing many more terrain postings!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be another six months until I've enough garlic eaten to provide another forrest!
Deletehead to your local poundshop - most sell toy dino skeletons perfect for terrain pieces
ReplyDeleteYep, back to Poundland - the mainstay of us all.
DeleteCracking stuff Edwin. I also like the garlic trees as-is, a spot of green paint on the bases and they'll look great!
ReplyDeleteThe chicken population rejoices :)
Oh, I'll still eat the chicken!
DeleteBut being mean I wanted to be able to use the left-over bits (after I make stock from the carcass).
Most edible wargaming blog post ever.
