The spooky tree stump

 Hello and welcome back.


Some new terrain in this post - the spooky tree stump.


This is a handy model as I can use it for both Post Apocalyptic and Fantasy games. It may even feature in a seasonal game or two. 


This started life as a pumpkin stalk. It caught my eye as it had a twist to it and reminded me of something you would find in a Tim Burton film. A couple of days later I ripped it out of the Halloween pumpkin and left it to dry out.

The base was sanded flat and hot glued to a plastic gift card. Milliput was used to fill around the base. The base was flocked and once dry the model was primed grey. The base is usual mixes of dark browns and drybushed with lighter colours. The pumpkin stalk was washed several times with thinned cheap brown acrylic paint. 

Some plant tufts and static grass was then added to the base to finish it off.


Thanks for looking. Stay safe out there.

  2. I love how people in the hobby just see things... differently than everyone else. To them, rubbish. To us, the germ of a new and cool project :D. Nicely done!
