I saw one of these built up at the IPMS Region 10 convention a couple of weeks back. It was the master for the AEF kit. Yours looks great. Love the scratch building. Thanks for posting your work here. "Q"

Gosh darn it, Steve!
I just had a look at "Ollie out in the nature" in your gallery. I can not understand why you didn't like the base? Looks great to me. Only bad thing is the small pictures you post.

See you
Erik

This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this...

Bows in humble shock


What sort of materials do you use to scratch build... Sh1t! I think I'm doing well if I can do it OOB.

Murdo--just what you see in the pics-plastic card and some rod and "strip"shapes................base---earth and a mix of "railway "flocks and bits of "rough grass"
Rudi---base off top of head ....could not get good shots of landscape.....hope it is near

Steve,

Here's the amazing thing about Southern Africa... you don't even have to travel 100km and the entire landscape has changed.... chances are you have got a more or less accurate depiction of some place in Southern Africa.... LOL :-) :-) :-) :-)
