Welcome to the Jungle

I finished my jungle terrain project.  It was exactly what I hoped it would be.  It allowed me to be creative and challenged me to get the right array of plants together to get that full jungle look and feel.  I am stoked at how they turned out.

Twenty one-of-kind handmade hand-painted jungle terrain pieces were assembled when all was said and done.  Here's a pic for you to check out.  I used HeroClix Alien and Predator figures for scale.  You can take a look at them (Maybe buy some??!!) on eBay: Jungle Terrain

These pieces will be great for historical, fantasy, and sci-fi wargaming.  They could be used with 15mm, 20mm, 28mm, and 32mm scale figures.  I suppose they could also be used as islands for naval miniature games as well.

It's a Jungle Out There

For the past year or so, I have been thinking about a new project to engage the more creative side of myself.  If you recall, I made custom Sci Fi / D & D Spider Miniature Sets a while back.  After careful consideration, I have decided to embark upon a quest to make miniature wargaming terrain...specifically jungle terrain.

I have been gathering supplies for some time now: glues, plastic, Plaster of Paris, small plastic plants, Styrofoam, paints, dried roots, Spanish Moss, Modge Podge, hobby rocks and gravel, etc.  After some online research, I am ready to take on the task.

The bases are finished.  All handmade and painted. The foliage is done.  Most of the plants are also handmade and/or customized.  I'm ready to put them all together.  I have been studying jungle plant life on the internet and while I was on vacation in Florida.  I feel I have a pretty good sense of what I need to do to achieve the right ascetic.

Wish me luck.  It will be the challenge I've needed for some time.  Check right here on my humble little blog for pics of the finished products in the days to come.
