As One Is Finished Another Begins
I have glued the four corners to the underside of the warehouse roof keeping it in place and finishing that project. What a great kit that isn’t for beginners. It has multiple layers, tiny detailed bits, a few mis-cuts, and less than clear instructions but I still enjoyed working on it. Now that I’ve photographed it I’ve packed it away with the Wolsung collection so i have room for the next item on my check list, more Fungus Forest.
I opened up the second box of alien plant parts I ordered from the Mantic Terrain Crate3 Kickstart campaign. I have a second box because I figure if some trees are good then more is better. That seems to be my mantra with a number of things in this hobby. I took stock of what I had what with the box packed full of the original contents, the left overs from the first box I painted up, and various bases. I also looked over the first ones I had done. I really like them but they are brightly colored and on flat bases. The colors are fine but more of them on a table could really be overpowering so I will doing something different on these and adding variety to the contours of the bases.
Should fit in nicely with my Wolsung waterfront.
I can see the Hafling "Family" running their schemes from here
Wow, I forgot how many of these I had. This isn't even half.
Wow, I forgot how big these things are next to a 25mm miniature.
Because of the model release used with plastics like these can mess with paint and primer, I prewash all the parts in water and a small amount of dish soap.
This is just about half of the pieces. The other half are soaking.
I really like how these came out but that's enough bright colors for the collection. I want a creepier, darker look for the next stuff. I want it taller and may even make some of it impassable. I have a new plan for all the tiny plants but more on that later.
As a related aside, I assembled a four story apartment building for my Crisis Protocol collection.
