With Conquest next weekend, some of the Strategists are putting on a demo game of Japanese against US Marines in an island hoping Bolt Action game.
I will have these two buildings on display on the islands somewhere.

Jungle buildings in 28mm.
A while ago I was asked by a friend if I would make some jungle buildings in 28mm for Bolt Action games. After a bit of a look at the Airfix kit and a couple of blog posts at Craig's Wargaming Blog and Wargaming with Silver Whistle I began construction. Largely made from bamboo skewers and PVA glue.

Removable roof to enable the placing of troops inside and a separate platform to allow for some variety.

Wow these are great. The bamboo effect is breathtaking. Thumbs up
ReplyDeleteThey look great and that bamboo look like bamboo, stunning
ReplyDeleteBrilliant...bamboo skewers...awesome idea :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent work mate. What did you use for the thatch effect?
ReplyDeleteThe thatch stuff is the stuff that plumbers use for lagging pipes. It's about 80mm wide and comes in rolls. The colour you see here is it's natural colour. All I did was glue it down and then later brushed it with watered down PVA. Not perfect but okay I think.
DeleteBrilliant - thanks!
DeleteThey look great. Like Scott, I'm curious about the thatch. It looks a little like felt that's been teased out at the edges.
ReplyDeleteSuperb! Highly original work
ReplyDeleteAwesome work. Some great ideas in those. The little green bits for the bamboo look and feel works perfectly. I did think straight away of the Nam as well when I saw these. Great when something you make is usable across multiple eras.
ReplyDeletecheers
WoW! Fantastic work Rodger
