In A Galaxy not that far away.
Scarif Terrain
Having done for the time being all the figures thought I’d have ago at the terrain. As can be seen from previous sections of project I have plenty of desert terrain. What I don’t have is Scarif type Jungle, tropical island terrain. I plan to buy some Blue Hexon in the next few months to add to my collection and break it up into islands.
Now how to do it cheaply?
Aquarium plastic plants was my answer . I got a couple of larger pieces of Amazon but raided a local store in Willenhall West Mids for the bulk. I brought both 4″ and 8″ sets of plants. I suggest if you intend to follow my plan don’t get the 8″ ones as they are unsupported and flop all over the table. It wasn’t a waste as I was able to cut them up for use later on.
- They come with a big plasic base which initially I had intended to remove and use paint brush covers to peg down to mdf bases, but hadn’t got enough.
So I decided stuff it and decided to use the black bases and just hide them later. So using some mdf bases I had bought some time ago for an unstarted project, just stuck them to top.
With the larger plants , which I had broke up from the really silly square plug in bases they came with , I put one plant per base, but the smaller 4″ones doubled them up per base.
I then put just a base coat of Sand over both the black base and mdf base.
I then added flock . I had dark Steppe grass and very green static grass , neither looked right on their own so I did the Gerry thing of mixing them together.
