Jungle Photo Backdrop Board Terrain by Glitterwolf

[Glitterwolf]

 

Another piece for my Lost World Project.

 

WIP here:

http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/69308-lost-world-project-glitterwolf-paints-coldblooded-creatures-and-conquistadores/

 

I was inspired by @malefactus who made a few scenic photo backdrop boards. ( He also send me the War Turtle as a gift, he is in the last pic)

I figured I'll give it a try, would be nice to take pics of finished recruits and monsters in the right surroundings.

So I made this little board out of foam, Some greenstuff and Milliput on wood to create an Aztec Style Dungeon Door, I made the glyphs using a Greenstuffworld Rolling Pin.

Vegetation made with a little plastic plant from a thrift store, Aztec Ruins from Greenstuffworld and lots of moss/flock and such which were a gift from the awesome @knarthex.

 

Hope you enjoy it

 

I have taken pics of my Lost World minis in this background and they can be seen in my Lost World Project.

A few teasers are in here.

 

Nothing too complicated, I kept it simple because it is "just" a backdrop.

I had fun making it.

Maybe I will make another one with an Undead/Gothic theme one day too.

 

Well here it is.

This looks awesome.  

 

I've being wanting to built an underground/dungeon themed backdrop, but it keeps getting pushed down on my to-do list.

That's so amazing! I want to make a jungle base for the savage avatar gorilla so this is great inspiration. May I ask...is this the rosemary deco plant from IKEA? I swear it looks very similar but at this scale extremely convincing for jungle flora!

I got it from a store called Action, Dutch version of a dollar thrift store thingie..

 

I got other stuff too, looking at Ikea, Aquariium Plants etc are a great source for it.

 

Cut it down use it differently and you got trees and stuff.

Thx Paul!

 

It was rather easy to do in the end.

Just took some time.

Some more explanation about the vegetation, so people can use it themselves.

 

The Long Plastic plants are from a thrift store. ( Action)

The smaller plastic bushes are from a pet store, Aquarium dpt.

The long dark green vines are called Tilandsia and I picked those up in the craft section of a Garden Centre. ( Intratuin)

The Ivy/climbing plants on the bottom of the door are from Mininatur, they come in different colours.

The moss/grass etc were from several mixes, Knarthex had sent me a bunch, and some of my own.

I also mixed herbal tea in there, hence the brown and flower colours.

 

You can pick up a lot in thrift stores for cheap.

I also bought a little plastic cactus, too big?

No, since the real thing in Arizona grows taller than a man, it will make a great addition to a base.

I also bought fake coral from a thrift store, for underwater purposes.

 

Look at Toy/Pet/ Garden and DIY stores for many useful and cheap things to use in the hobby.
