jungle bases

[shahryar]

What is the best way to do jungle like bases without painting.

I tend to base after painting....one time I based before painting it came out horribly so I'm going back to my old way lol.

so what do you all recommend I use to do jungle bases?

It depens on your THEME

Swamp - making river/swamp banks with reeds (half submersed lizardmen int the water)
Desert - sand and burn bushes (yellow lichen from hobby shops)
Temple ruin - slates with pictographs on them over grown vines, werid plants, small lizards on the base
Jungle - over grown vines, plants, small lizards on the base.

So if i was to do a charaters base I would bulid up the height of the model using two part putty (green stuff) adding slate & bits. Then paint it along with my model, adding the flock & twisted vines last.

But everyone is different.
