With my new period the Haitian Revolution finally getting some figures painted, I thought it'd be
a good idea to get some jungle terrain made up for Saint Domingue.
How could I refuse Sir Michael plea on Awdry's Atoll???
"For me the challenge, and laterally the bonus rounds was always about having fun, often scratching a creative itch. Weaving a narrative through an idea was always the goal and in order to best compose these frivolities I would often start with a blank CD or DVD. Given the geographical alliteration, Awdry's Atoll, I am proposing as my challenge a Desert Island Disc! I would like to see all manner of creativeness, command stands or even terrain pieces that start life with the humble CD or DVD. (If proving difficult to obtain then any circular basing material of a 120mm diameter will suffice.)"
I've been collecting palm trees and fish tank plants for a few months now. These were glued down onto 2 DVD dics, SAW II and House of Wax if you really want to know? Then based with fine sand with a few stones thrown in for good measure!
So the only real painting done was on the base.
I did add a few grass tufts as well.
Capt Kidd is only in the photos for scale, so no more points for him.

So there we have it 2 DVD disc jungle bases
30 points for the Challenge round and whatever the generous Minion on the day
would like to give me???
Are you sure one of these discs wasn't "Welcome to the Jungle," Ray?
ReplyDeleteNice jungle terrain!
I could never waste a Guns n Roses disc, Jonathan!
DeleteNice, but the next time you watch those DVD´s they ruin your player!
ReplyDeleteThing Is I don't even have a DVD player anymore!
DeleteWell, that's about all those movies were good for. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThey were crap horror films, so no loss.
DeleteGreat Job Ray
ReplyDeleteCheers Carl!
DeleteSuper looking jungle terrain Ray...I hope you have a lafprge collection of crap DVDs to use up!
ReplyDeleteOh I do, I really do!
DeleteNicely done Ray! Great work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon.
DeleteVery nice Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Rodger!
DeleteNice work Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Nate!
DeleteHandsome and atmopsheric jungle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteLoved these Ray and just the sort of creativity I hoped to see on the Atoll. Well done Sir.
ReplyDeleteCheers Sir M, I hoped you'd like them!
DeleteYour jungle pieces have come out really well; when I did mine I washed all the flora with a green ink wash to remove the obvious 'plasticyness' (that's a word right ?) somewhat.
ReplyDeleteGood idea Joe, just gotta get some green wash now??
DeleteNice job Ray
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave!
