You clearly have a good eye for details and a lot of patience.
Very nice work! I look forward to see your village grow.
I love to see some nets for fishing and a fisherfubarnii's hut. With some rods, perhaps a small boat and barrels with fish in front of it :).

Starting the challenge!

The first two huts almost complete, I'm thinking about adding some blossoms to the vines on the walls as well as some small bushes
(https://theslann.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wpid-20150619_205207.jpg?w=768&h=1024)

Beginning of the board (I was thinking about that the last three month, so FINALLY)
(https://theslann.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wpid-20150619_205246.jpg?w=768&h=1024)
It's supposed to be close to the coast near Teral, but might be as well next to any lake in the Casanii territory or the Argoran wastes, with a little river ending in the lake/sea

Finally, an Egorak tree, I'll do more of them and post WIP pics, was to fast today and forgot :D
(https://theslann.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wpid-20150619_222848.jpg?w=768&h=1024)

I think that's a decent progress for tonight ;)

And I have so much more ideas.... and halfway finished stuff :D

cheers,
The Slann

off to a booming start and looking good!   :)

what did you use for the foliage on the tree?  .... I quite like it.


Title: Re: The Slann's Terrain Thread

Wow, great start; I'm liking your attention to detail. :)

Thx for the comments guys, hopefully there will be more tonight

what did you use for the foliage on the tree?  .... I quite like it.

First I'm applying a very thin layer of polyfibre on the branches, spray-glue, then I "shoot" 4.5 mm grass on it with the electrostatic grassmaster, spray-glue, 2.5mm grass with the grassmaster, sprayglue and finally I put fine flock on it as the leaves. Sounds like a lot, but only takes 5 minutes altogether. If you make more trees at once (that was only a test tree) you don't have to change the grass in between and save time. You should get the poly fibre from woodland scenetics, or alternatively use filter wool from the aquarium store, then you might have to airbrush it first, but you can simulate thicker branches with it.

cheers

Well done!

I don't know if it's save to say, but it keeps me motivated for sure :D

So much more ideas and stuff to come...

wow! it appears that when The Slann is put in charge of construction, Rome can be built in a day!   ;D  ;D   neither Devanu nor Delgon stand in the way of his progress. you're going to have an entire city done before long at this rate.   ;)

hehe, thx a lot ;)
Maybe there will be a Gar Loren table at some point...

omg, too many ideas...


Title: Re: The Slann's Terrain Thread

These look both cute and functional.
You're probably not familiar with it, but in holland there is an enetertainment park called: the Efteling. Where some parts of it are littered with cute fairytale structures. Your buildings remind me a bit of those.
(For the ones who want to take a look: http://www.efteling.com/NL/plattegrond/Google-Streetview.html)

And Gar Loren, ... ambitious but I'm sure you can pull it off :). It would make an interesting table, but small battles with Devanu or Delgon are perhaps a bit unlikely ;).

:) Looks a bit messy, what is it made from?


Title: Re: The Slann's Terrain Thread
Post by: The Slann on July 14, 2015, 01:02:24 pm
It's paper towels and some plaster, on a frame of fibre and toothpicks.

It already looks nicely on it's base ;)

Post by: GrimSnik on July 15, 2015, 03:00:14 am
i look forward to seeing how your hut turns out. is it I meant to be a permanent structure or something they carry with them?


Title: Re: The Slann's Terrain Thread
Post by: Carcharoth on July 15, 2015, 09:32:31 am
I see them as portable tents that would be lashed to the back of the yirnak for transport. They could probably be set up for quite a while though, giving semi permanent villages that could be moved when needed.

Small update. The Dhogu huts improved greatly :)

Lots of great pieces there.  They've all turned out well, although I do particularly like how the tents have turned out - they look spot on.
