Mushroom forest, weird tree, toxic pools and fantasy terrain.


Hello and welcome back. 


In this post I have some new bits of terrain to show off.  First up - the mushroom patches.


A couple of years back I spotted a bag of mushroom Xmas tree decorations when out on our annual pilgrimage to various Christmas stores. 

 Once home I trimmed the fixing wire off and flattened the bottoms off. Grabbing some spare bits of blue foam, a couple of CDs and the hot glue gun. Pretty soon I had two cd’s of mushrooms. 

Then Christmas arrived and the hobby stuff was stored. The models were forgotten about until a couple weeks ago. The bases were then flocked and painted. Then the mushrooms got a lick of paint. Static grass and grass tufts were avoided so I can use these in cave/tunnel systems. 



I like these models as they are not only genre neutral (I can use them in my fantasy games) but they can also feature in 15mm games as a forest. 


In keeping with the Christmas theme there is also this weird mutant or alien tree. 


This started life as the tip of a Christmas tree. I kept it and dried it out. It was then glued to a plastic gift card as a base. Flocked, painted and done. Quick easy terrain. I may have to salvage bits of this years tree too.


This resin toxic pool/pipe set I have had for a couple of years. It is too long ago to recall the manufacturer. They got primed and put to one side. I gave them a quick paint job. 




Looking at them I think they might need a couple of coats of gloss varnish on the toxic goo just to finish them off. 


Speaking of resin I picked up these bits for my fantasy setting earlier this year. Not sure of the manufacturer as I got them from Amazon. 



They will work for Post Apoc townships too.


Thanks for looking. 


Take care out there.
