About this creation
After some months of building and some more months spent patiently waiting for money I managed to finish this little project. It's my first try to create plants more complex than flowers or default bushes. Furthermore, this is the most expensive single pick-a-brick order I had to do so far. My inspiration for this work came from numerous train-rides between the town where I'm studying and the town where my family lives. To be honest, those journeys are a little bit to much of an inspiration. I got literally hundreds of things in mind from them. Special thanks go to you David and your better half, for the green 32x32 baseplate which had to wait so long to fulfill its noble purpose. This work is also background for my favorite model: My best friend Davids Mara Jade . If you like Star Wars you should really check it out.

Those bushes with the yellow flowers are meant to look like broom.

The low, dense growth could be brambles.

To bring in some more colours, I've added some white flowers. They result rather from aesthetic reasons then from natural examples.

The tree brought its very own little problems with it. It turned out quite difficult to place the branches and the leaves by hand. That looked much easier on the screen.
Over all, I'm quite satisfied with how the plants turned out.


Now, that's some pile of green stuff.

Even Spartans have to relax form time to time.
As part of a table-top landscape the hill would be more an obstacle than scene of the battle itself, but the strategic value is even.

When the warm summer-sun is shining it might be a nice place for a walk.

Very nice - the little pool is very effective, but the plantlife is outstanding - nice to see something different, and the technique you've used seems to give them an extra density and realism - well done! |
