There's a little list of things that, when said by a certain rank, are terrifying:
I had an idea.
My jungle terrain has been on back burner for a while. The old stuff was... adequate. Plastic trees stuff into cardboard, and thrown onto the table.
Meh, right?
So: 9" by 12" felt piece, rounded off and glued onto a spare bit of wood.
The old trees, superimposed on the new base. The trees come with little pegs, so I had to hammer pilot holes through the wood.
The felt swathes started curling up. Easy fix: spare washers glued to the perimeter.
A step or two away from finished...
Close enough to finished... Foliage is a bit shiny and the felt basing is a bit bland, but the effect of a dozen of these on the field should be good enough.
It's not realistic. I know. Needs more bushes like that in the foreground, and smaller ones the height of a model's ankle.
- Second Lieutenants: "In my experience".
- First Lieutenants: "I have an idea".
- Captains: "I've been thinking".
