Canal project part 2 is basically complete. All the little bits of foilage have been added and are drying.





The swamp "rapids" turned out good, but its more swamp than rapids. Didn't really pull off the rapid effect at all, more experimenting with water effects is warranted.



The stepping stone tiles are looking good!

Loving the complete project, masterfully put together and painted

Keep up the Good work

Cool little details, I like it.

It's been another minute, but I have a ton of pictures to show over the next few days. Starting with the results of canal project part 1 and 2:




Got enough water tiles to almost fill up the entire 4x6 playing space!

Really like the stela.

Have a ton of epic terrain pictures to share, starting with a river crossing using some of my new water terrain features:



Had to diorama all of these up a bit of course.

Next the river delta:

Meanwhile some terradon scouts, above the lofty jungle canopy, have engaged a lone Bretonnian champion:

Very nice, can't help but think the knights might want to choose a dryer local for their cavalry charges though ;P

 

[Slannta's Little Helper]

I love the creativity and all the little touches you ad in to your scenerry

 

[Scalenex]

I really like your rivers. If you made a tutorial about how to make rivers like it I would like totally index it.

 

[Imrahil]

Awesome!!! Nice Stuff all together.
Cool, and diverse, terrain to fight your battles in

Gr, Imrahil

Beautiful river terrain pieces. As @Scalenex said, it would be great if you made a tutorial for these, as I was thinking of designing sump canal terrain sections for my Necromunda layout and wasn’t sure how best to go about it.

Quite true, didn't work out so well in Agincourt, and a full on cav charge probably wouldn't work across a jungle river either.

Actually I think that is a great idea, let me see what pictures I have lying around; I may be able to put one up just with those.

I see you’re building up a Slann collection like @Slannta's Little Helper and @NIGHTBRINGER! Very nice tropical frog colour schemes!

Perhaps the greatest Slann collection of all time!
