So What Is Really All Going On

Exams are rearing their ugly head and so studying has been increased. Sadly, this leaves hobby almost right out of the equation. So, to make sure I get something done, I have decided to set myself a goal of blogging at least once a week, probably on a Sunday, as that is usually my day off. I might end up posting more over the holidays, but, I am moving house during April so, we will see.

Last post I left off with a big bag of moss, well, today, I decided to do something with that moss, as well as some other stuff that I was able to scrounge from the local Chinese store.


Yes, it's these things, whatever you call them. I think they might be for a fish tank, but hell, the whole lot cost me roughly five pounds, so...

Next stage of the project was to find some of these laser cut 60mm round bases.

And paint them brown, using the basic, yet most interesting acrylic raw sienna.

Also, a small pile of Gods gift to humanity, cat litter.

Some old sawdust flock and voila!

First stage is complete!

Next up comes the bushes -- they look a tad tropical...

These were an absolute nightmare to glue on, and, as in most glue related cases, violence is not an alternative. Super glue = Fail. Wood glue = Fail. Bostik = worked well enough.

And a little bit of moss.

Which promptly turned into a bigger clump of moss.

And here we have some difficult terrain, ready for the oncoming table.

It was a most, if not enjoyable, then productive experience.

 Anyway...

Looking forward, my birthday is just around the corner, and with it comes a whole wad of stuff from warlord games, mainly Zulus, mardhists, TYW stuff, and some greeks and macs.

Which shall be fun. Also, once I am in my new house I plan to make a scenery board, at last. Lots of fish tank grass and moss shall be used.

And lastly, regarding the pictures above, at first I thought that the some of the greens would seem too luminous, but I think they turned out alright. Not sure though.
