Today’s model is another one from August, and one that fits both my long-running D&D series as well as Dave Stone’s Winter of Scenery Challenge! In Dave’s words: “I think we should also include vehicles as this can be used as strategic scenery pieces as well..” And well, I guess this thing is technically a construct – though according to the D&D Wiki I checked some of these things can basically take a couple o f passengers and effectively be driven around, so…. but it’s absolutely the kind of model that will fit in nicely as a bit of static terrain on a fantasy board.
Almost every pic of these things I’ve seen online show them as being a pretty rich green. Descriptions on the other hand describe them as stone. Now, I know that greenstone (jade) is a thing, but instead I went with brownish grey stone and added some greens and ochres to repsentend mold and moss, as well as a few shades of brown on the roller wheels to represent dirt and mud (and yeah, I need to go back and add a tiny bit to the front). No green on the sections that would touch the ground though, because you know what they say about A Rolling Stone…
I’ve added in my little collection of reptilian humanoids here for the scale shot, because fantasy games have given us such a strong association between reptilians and vaguely-South American histoirical cultures… There’s also a sneak peek model here that’ll have his moment once I get these models for Dave’s Challenge up and posted!
2 more terrain posts of stuff finished in August, then the Scenery Wrap-up on the weekend…
