robnik_35 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 These are the pics of a project I just put together. Its an 18" by 18" water feature with some low hills and trails running throughout. I'm going to be posting some more info on it at my website Red Dragon Terrain This is the first step, with the trails and hills carved out and glued onto the styrene base http://www.red-dragon-terrain.com/uploads/2/7/1/5/2715769/8957879.jpg Next I covered the piece with brown paint and terrain goop similarly coloured http://www.red-dragon-terrain.com/uploads/2/7/1/5/2715769/8674177.jpg Then I added the ground textures and water material, leaving me with this... http://www.red-dragon-terrain.com/uploads/2/7/1/5/2715769/1049803.jpg And close up... http://www.weebly.com/uploads/2/7/1/5/2715769/2899345.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I can just hear a Vietnam War Movie's soundtrack in my head when I see this. Very cool ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muller Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 for being that shallow water I feel it's waay too blue. a swpam/ricefield would more likely have a greenish brown muddy color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 for being that shallow water I feel it's waay too blue. a swpam/ricefield would more likely have a greenish brown muddy color i must second these sentiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately. Paint them a green/brown mix and it will look ten times better...IMO :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 i 3rd the greeny brown look, no denying it looks great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Quite nice. I agree on the color, but also feel that I need to ask: How would you put it on a table without it looking awkward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEEPER Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I'd like to see a rice patty look to it, seems to fit. *walks off humming Paint it Black* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnik_35 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Yeah, I agree the colour should be more greeny brown... i'm also going to put a skim coat of plaster mixed with caulking on the swampy areas to give it a bit of muddytexture. It looks like a "Limpid pool Trail" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 You want $35 for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robnik_35 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price. Special deal for you though. Mostly excellent suggestions about how to improve this, so thanks guys. I've also gotten some feedback to work on the borders to bring a smoother transition in. Its a new piece though, so its all about the learning. I'm posting a mountain I made after this. There's no water though, so hopefully I wont have bungled on the grey.
