A bit more work early this evening and they are now getting there. The plants have had a few shades of highighting and some extra details added to the bases. I am much happier with the result. Here are the first two sections done.

It's a jungle out there!
Experimented late lat night with making some jungle-esque bases. I made the ferns by pulling a plastic palm tree to pieces, drilling a hole in the figures' base, inserting 3-4 fronds into the hole and gluing with PVA. Not sure on the aquarium foliage- it needs to be painted tonight to dull it down a bit.

You might not need to 'dull down' the plastic foliage, fudging by these pics. Jungle greenery is apt to be pretty bright anyhow, I believe...
ReplyDeleteAgree - love the multibase idea but the colour of the jungle plants is too bright and uniform for my taste
DeleteModels are great as always though!
Cheers

Hi Archduke- true. But they do look a bit shiny plastic-planty so need (IMO) dulled down a bit.
Delete@ Kruger- I love your Japanese bases for your jungle fighters- and have tried to figure out what you used for foliage on yours. Mine may be a bit too uniform in colour but there is some variation in colours and textures :)
I do like the way that this style of basing has worked out though- lots of scope for interesting bases.
Did yo ever finish your Japanese?

Very nice! Love the minis and the basing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. I'm very happy with the bases- they are starting to lift the quality of the paint job now :)
DeleteI like the basing! Great work Craig!
