Swamp/Jungle Foliage

As we steam ahead & I continue to prep for our 2nd Stargrave game, I was looking at the scenario which invloves a star freighter crashing into a swamp after getting decimated by Pirates.

Well as luck would have it, I didn't have any Swamp related foliage available. However I did buy a bunch of stuff to make Jungle terrain some time ago. 

Thus this week's post is about my quickly made foliage tiles for the Swamp.

 

I discovered that some of the folaige bunches came on these long 'handles?'

 

Which when I looked at them, would make great stumps of old trees, so I clipped the longer bits off, & left a small stub in the center to stick into the foam

You can see the results on the 2 stands shown above. So as you may have noticed, these are on more of the foam tiles I bought years ago. I think they were for Command Decision. I like using them, as they can be butted together to form larger areas of vegetation.

 

I will treat these as areas that hinder movement to the extent that your just better off going around. Besides, who knows what else lurks in there! I also have a bunch of other types of foliage ranging from tall grasses to stubby ones.

 

After making 16 of them, they will also go well with a bunch of single plants mounted on washers that I had picked up in a swap meet at some point

 

So with the vegetation for the swamp complete, its onto the bigger project....the crashed Freighter!

I am currently printing the one I picked up from Digital Taxidermy

 

 So with that....
