My plastic aquarium plants arrived today so I made a start on my first jungle terrain. These palm trees and ferns are my favourite and are a great representation of terrain from New Guinea to Burma- I like them so much I'm about to order a lot more!
I based them on MDF and then added a layer of casting plaster to which I
pressed the plant. Once dried I covered in pva, added sand them let dry
again. Painted black, then a dark brown drybush followed by light brown highlight
and some static grass. I also did a light drybrush over the trunks to make
them look slightly less plasticy.

Effective looking jungle foliage...
ReplyDeleteWill add a bit more stuff as well for variety but I do like the way it appears to have good ground cover
DeleteLooks very good! Have you got a link, please?

Hope that works- they are from an ebay company called: us.deal (34419)
took less than a week to arrive from Hong Kong.

They look great, very lush with all the fronds at ground level.
ReplyDeleteNow I just need an army to go with them :)
