I would paint the bases because you can see the shinny surface of the CDs through the static grass. The main thing that I would do differently is that I would paint the CDs before applying plants or static grass. That said, I learned a few things by making the terrain and would do some things differently if I were to do this project again. Lessons LearnedĪs stated above, I am happy with how these came out. Overall, they came out looking okay, but I did learn a few lessons from this project. The picture above shows my completed scratch built jungle terrain while the glue dried. To complete the terrain pieces, I added static grass using PVA glue. Above are all of the jungle bases before I added the static grass to the model. As you will notice, I used masking tape to cover the holes of the CDs.Īfter completing the CD bases, I moved on to using the CD case tops as bases. Above are the first eight bases of terrain that I built. I then pulled out my hot-glue gun and pasted them to CDs and the tops of the CD cases. Using a pair of side cutters, I trimmed the plants into smaller pieces (with 28mm miniatures in mind for scale). Basically, a buddy of mine gave me a bunch of his old fish tank plants and I cut them up into smaller pieces using a pair of side cutters. The picture above shows the component parts of the Jungle Terrain. The next time I saw him, he gave me his collection of plants and I went to work. In chatting to my friend Dave about the gaming tables that I want to run in the near future, he came up with the idea of building terrain using some old fake plants that he had for his fish tank. In this post, we take a look at how I made these Jungle pieces and then showcase the terrain with some miniatures. Being 28mm terrain, these pieces are also perfect for Blood & Plunder, Bolt Action in the Pacific, and any other games in a warm setting. To build this, I used fake fish tank plants, CDs (and CD cases) and static grass.

In preparation for a game of Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago, I made a 28mm scratch built jungle.
