    Working on an African Jungle (VSF Tarzan) and a Venusian swamp/marsh with a “Wagon Wide Trail” running through it (VSF Spain on Venus.)

    Looking for the best colors to represent the marshy/swampy surfaces of the “ground.” Suggestions?

    I am using craft paints (until gone) and all new/replacement paints are Reaper paints.

    Gracias,

    Glenn

    It could depend of the colours and methods you use for the surrounding terrains.

    When I was happy with dark cloth for forests and blue card for lakes and rivers, I represented marshes as lakes (blue card) with some lichens and bushes etc scattered on them: easy to recognize but it doesn’t make nice tables. Now I am trying to experiment better methods, but not really succeeded yet.

    You can have very diffent sorts of marshes and swamps. Dark glossy brown with different shades etc for very muddy ground; a thin cover of water effects (resin of other) above sand/brown/scattered plants for jungle swamp?

    Gloss vinyl mats in an appropriate muddy brown is a good start, then just glue the things Patrice is talking about with a flkexible glue and you are there.

     

    If I may comment re jungles.  Most of the palms that you find in jungles are less than man height.  Palms are commonly found in neat rows in plantations.  Most people’s idea of jungles seems to be inspired by hollywood who in turn just add a few potted palms to fill up the camera viewfinder.
