Jungle Terrain

This is my second post tonight.  Feast or Famine here at my blog!!!  Recently we started up our monthly "Nerdnite" which is what got me fired up to start blogging again.  That and having an iPhone helps.  I've been dawdling on terrain off and on for the past couple of years, going in bursts but really not completing anything.  This winter I've been putting the most effort into it.  I started by making flock which I have no pictures of the process, but have plans of making some more in the future, so look forward to that post.

We kicked off our nerdnite with one of the long time players taking the reins of Gamemaster and deciding to run A Serpent's Skull AP from Paizo publishing for the Pathfinder RPG.  As I said earlier I had been dawdling on various terrain projects....ABSOLUTELY none of them jungle terrain!!!!

Unto the internet to find the path forged by those that have gone before.  And I must say very few have braved the Jungle Terrain before.  So into the heart of the jungle I venture.

So I decided to make a few foliage mounds.  To create "corridors" that could be arranged on the board in various ways.

Out came the pink board and this is the first step.  Layout and cutting up the pieces.

I sawed these pieces up with a serrated steak knife to give them a more natural shape.
I figured I would make 4 corner pieces, a few long pieces and some round pieces as generic terrain.  I feel like this is enough pieces to make an interesting battle in an RPG skirmish setting.  I may make a few more large scale terrain pieces for use with other games we play in our group.  But right now I need to focus on functioning pieces for the upcoming session.  All I had left to do today was paint up these pieces and this is where I left off for the day.
And I know quite well what they look like at this stage....  Hopefully I can er...um... Polish these turds.
