    VG means VegetationsflächenGestaltung. Capital letters just for clarification...
    Ich mach im Moment meinen Techniker im Garten - und Landschaftsbau...
    Sorry for the German in between. ;)
    It's for master school...

    Ah alright, is it more artsy or scientific? Because I had to do the whole thing backwards, categorising a habitat's plants, in my studies.

    It's both... First take a look at the conditions like soil light moisture pH and nutrition etc. And then choose from the pool of fitting plants what's looking good at that place... Sometimes quite detailed if you take bigger plants into consideration for making shadows for the smaller ones or bigger stones for saving heat energy form the sun what leads to warm micro climates and so on...

    Did practice some more... Trying to get to know the tools an so... And wanted to use the last bits of this fluffy stuff...
    So here is a big frog shaped snowman Sight_2015_12_05_212742_546.jpg Sight_2015_12_05_212735_961.jpg
    Still looking a bit clumsy but this fluff stuff is really not made for details... It's more like for children to make some presents for mummy on mothers day or birthday... But I'm quite happy with the shape... But the size is really a bit big, as you can see on the pics... (and people told me before ;) ) next step will be adding some details with green stuff to improve and see how it works when using the green on the fluffy stuff.

    Mondays seem to turn out quite boring in education things... But therefore much interesting in creative matters...

    Solar engine or EotG without monster... Ok 4 cold ones. So actually more monsters than usual... ;)

    That seems like a fun build a planning to make the wagon out of balsa wood and stuff. I wonder how you would treat that besides an engine and the gods with the crew would you just treat the rest as you would cold ones

    Well thought the wagon + crew would use the normal rules... And the cold ones would be biting as usual, too. Sure there would be no impact hits except when charging downhill and crashing the cold ones before hitting the enemy... ;)
    Will have to think about certain rules for a thing like this...

    Here my new standard... Don't know yet if to use as normal standard for saurus in hordes or as battle standard or for the tower... I have to say that it looks more impressive than what I use as bs right now...

    Here another standard... Found a way to switch them around from the palanquin and the bsb...

    And here my first attempt to sculpt an arm for the slann... Could be said failed attempt, as you can see.

    Standard looks awesome! The shield is a really cool touch! Slann arm is looking good! Like he's about to scold someone!

    That's what I intended... But it's a little bit to big for the body... And too scrappy... ;)
    Changed the base of the second priest to have more differences between them... Seemed unrealistic that both were standing on the same ruins. WP_20151212_001.jpg Sight_2015_12_12_223007_796.jpg

    Thought some mushrooms would look cool and be a nice practice for sculpting smaller stuff... Sight_2015_12_13_220724_095.jpg
