Tiki Terrain

It does not take much to create a nice little scene if you start with a few trees.

Add a rock formation, bridge, hut, and tiki and you have something there.

This is for my Batman Villain The Tiki.

The tiki was cast from an ice cube mold!  I painted it and added little fake jewels.

I made a number of these and painted them differently for several uses.  They are resin.

The little hut is from the dollar store, I cut the bottom off to make the counter lower.
 

Palm Trees

I got some palm trees from Amazon.

About 35 years ago I got a bunch of cheap palm trees but recently they have started crumbling.

These are taller than my old ones and are double trees.

It's a nice pack of trees.

They are all the same.

But palm trees don't vary much.

They don't all stand up easily but I will likely add bases to them.
 

Cheap Terrain

This is a little aquarium decoration piece.

It's a little taller than 3 inches.

I like that it is painted and ready to go.

Having the flat surfaces makes it good for 1/72nd scale troops to stand on.

This is painted in a forest or at least temperate zone scheme.

It has a couple holes in it which I like a lot.

Being terrain, it works well for any era, from cave men, to space men.

By having the holes in the piece, it allows troops to move though the terrain to attack or escape.

It would work well in deserts and at the shoreline.

The top done is pretty cool too.
 

T34, T62, Boxes

I got some open boxes from Amazon.  Here is a Roco Minitanks T-34 tank converted into an armored recovery vehicle.

The cardboard box is very white and is helpful for taking quick photos.

I have a lot of WWII and a few post WWII T-34 ARVs in the collection.

This is the photo box.

It's about a foot square.

It is also a bit disconcerting on it's own.

Which box is the inside and which is the outside?

This is my next big Cold War Soviet Union project, upgrading my T62 forces.
