woods & walls


So occasionally you stumble on an idea and you actually see it through to the end and it actually works out. It happens, but not often. I think these woods may be one such example as I really like them.

Here's another shot, more areial view. I'm doubtful these can take the pounding from a hobby shop crowd, but then again I haven't found any terrain that can yet. Do you think I should make the lichen more green? I could probably dry brush it, or spray paint it before installation.


The walls I made previously are made from casting blocks from Hirst Arts which are really well done. I then seal them and then wash them with water-based stain. But as I looked at them I got to wondering about stones made from different kinds/colors of rock and wondering if I could represent that in miniature. so before washing this batch I picked out random stones with 3 different colors of grey paint. Reminds me somewhat of the stone walls in civil war battlefields.

Some times my camera is almost too good because upclose pictures shows flaws you can't even see with the naked eye, let alone from distances more associated with gaming, so here's a pic from a bit further away.
