Trialling Mdf 2d scenery (1)
Got this Mdf tree today and painted it up. I am pleased with the results and how it looks with a Britains figure. I think this sort of tree would work really well in my limited theatre like gaming table...
I was surprised how well they work with Britains too. I don’t go to the theatre much but when I do I am fascinated by the scenery. The Lyceum in Edinburgh did terrific Christmas shows always with brilliant sets! Not pantos more like The Lion, the Witch... and other stories for all ages. I also loved a steampunk themed Magic Flute I saw a few years ago in Edinburgh too.
Alan, that's brilliant! I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get it? I think for your style of game table it's simply perfect.

DeleteGreat looking tree matches the figure well .
ReplyDeleteI think they complement each other well too.
DeleteIt matches the stage setting well.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying experimenting with the space,scenery and figures.
DeleteTheatre like is a good description of your set-up. You can lose yourself more at a good play than at the cinema.

They look very effective - like them. Agree that a link to the manufacturer/retailer would be useful.

Excellent tree Alan, just right! It shows how the proper scenery really brings our figures to life!
ReplyDeleteQuite agree, I prefer stylised to other scenery except when using “proper” wargames figures.
DeleteJust the thing!
ReplyDeleteIn my Afrika game I liked the look of Mdf palms with stones/ wood from the garden.
DeleteIts a nice addition to any gaming style. Still need to spend some time developing my games table backdrop.
ReplyDeleteMichael
The railway ones are splendid!
