Long time watcher but only a limited poster, I am making this thread so I have somewhere to record my terrain and to hopefully encourage myself to make some more as my work ethic seems to be inversely tied to how soon I need anything to be ready.
With Mankyfest coming up in 2 months I figured it was a perfect time to be messing around with terrain and trying to get my gang in order.
So with that in mind my hobby muse immediately decided it didn’t want to do that and instead had me trying to create an alien style garden
Here’s the first few steps
Made the tree out of that compressed plastic bubbles which if you hit with a heat gun shrivels up and twitst nicely
Looks a little sparse at the moment but this only a 2 ft by 1.5 ft board so theirs not much room. If it comes out nicely I’ll make a second one to mess around with and actually fight over instead of a nice display board.
Painted up the paths and trees/ roots afterwards I decided the red was a little bright but I’ll tone it down with a few more washes later
Put a smattering of moss and lichen around the board, the lichen I like as they keep their colour you just have to hit them with a lacquer but the moss tend to turn brown so I’m uncertain how it will look in a few months. All the plants simply made me want to add more and turn it into a proper woodland and I’ve been scouring the garden and my bits draws for any extra suitably alien looking plants.
Just for scale by one of the paths, I know he’s a right pain to look at with that colour scheme but it was raining and I was working outside so I wasn’t getting anyone else.
