Well, that's what is on the workbench right now - half the tree plantation tiles and the 40mm insert pieces. Here is the other half of the tiles:
As I mentioned yesterday, I have started work on the 40mm insert pieces:
Tomorrow I'll airbrush on some brown wash and also add some scenic cement to fix and seal the scrub mix.
Last night I glued the tops onto some tree bases from Charlie Foxtrot Models. I then beveled the edges with a knife and sanded the cut down:

This evening I have been preparing bases for the kunai grass and bamboo thickets. That has mostly involved cutting 5mm blue foam to fit the bases and gluing it onto the MDF. I haven't bothered to take pictures of those.
So far, everything looks set for me to have the tree plantation tiles finished on Monday. After that, I think I'll start on the kunai grass bases, then the bamboo. Once they are done and dusted it will be time for a lot of tree tarting-up.
Great work Tamsin, shame about covering the herbs, but as you say can be reapplied. Really like the 40 mm bases, great looking vegetation on them
ReplyDeleteI just bet the mistake makes those plants even better than their brothers, such is the way of scenics!
ReplyDelete@ Dave - cheers! It was easily corrected this afternoon. :)
ReplyDelete@ Herkybird - the mistake was on the tiles and easily fixed. :)
Great work Tamsin & looking at that overhead shot of the bases, got me thinking that without vegetation, they could easily proxy as shell craters from a heavy barrage!
ReplyDeleteThanks! A little too regular for shell craters, but those washers would certainly make a good base for making some. :)
