- In this episode of the Big Burma Build, my wargames jungle scenery project, I tackle making large palm tree woods using modular scenery bases. There's a couple of simple scenery tips that'll really help you to make modular terrain versatile and realistic. Hope they help you folks!

"They come in all shapes and sizes, folks." - I cracked up at that XD
Inverse basing is a brilliant concept!
Who couldve imagined 3 years ago... that one day you'd have a video with 22 palm trees.
Im so happy.
Can you imagine in another 3yrs lol
@@TheTerrainTutor 500k subs and the " how to make 1000 palm trees in a week" tutorial
So love your energy Mel, always after watching one of your videos, I'm inspired to create something of my own. Thank you for that.😀
The big Burma build is gonna be EPIC when it's completed! A well thought out plan is a well executed plan! Great vid as always Mel, and my boy was jazzed to see the hat in the background.
It's certainly starting to shape up mate
Wonderful - and energetic - job as usual, love this gorgeous terrain, impressive jungle atmosphere!
Very inspiring stuff. Makes me want to build a jungle set now! Thanks for the video!
I am new to Bolt Action and have been enjoying making European theatre terrain thus far. Want to thank you for the inspiration and entertainment. This was ANOTHER fun video to watch. Really appreciate your passion and love of the craft. Keep Cracking on brother.
I think out of all your builds this has to be my favourite one Mel. Looking forward to the next one. Makes me want to get some more Spectre SAS stuff now you bugger. Haha.
Mel your videos are so amazing your work is amazing to👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁🌲🌳🌴🌴🌴.
Excellent stuff, Mel.
A crashed transport aircraft, being reclaimed by the jungle would look pretty neat, and could be a good focal point for mission objectives. Loving the build so far! Keep up the good work sir.
it's on the list to add mate
Will your build include swamps and rice paddies both flooded or drained? This V log has been outstanding and love to watch it over and over. Thanks for all you do for us.
All on the list mate
in regards to "inverse basing"
having inwards curves ,especially on forest type terrain, is vital, makes you able to put them denser together. and makes all your forest bases semi modular.
They wont be as modular if you cut them out "inverse bases" from a single larger oval base, but semi modular is still better than nothing. Anyway all forest bases should have some inward curves, especially the larger the base the more important it becomes.
I wish I could go vist you and see your work up close and make a diagrama with you love your work mel. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😁.
Crack on Mel. Always enjoy your videos. I learn a lot from your hard work. Thank you mate!
Excellent mate
Ken Burn documentary on the Vietnam war give get views of jungle footage. Great video, thanks.
Cheers bud
Maybe the classic film predator would be a good case study for jungle paths ;)
Already on the saved list
looks good to me see more and sun day
I kept thinking of 'Tracey Island' at 4:00.
As a suggestion for some things that might work well for Burma stuff would be to find some of the aquarium decoration ruins and then upgrade that with foliage for it. I've seen several that have the Burma temple ruin look that would be perfect with added vines and greenery growing out of it and around it.
You could also work on some nice rock formations with the denser foliage on and around it to add more of a vertical shifting look to the end board than just a flat plain...possibly some jungle rivers and streams as well.
And that's without the more "modern" buildings the locals might have built...modern being the non megalithic construction in this case
Already got loads of that stuff collected mate, got a beautiful budda and some chinthe
It's all about the base, da base, the base.
No trouble
thank you for all of your time and dedication that you've put into this channel Mel , but i've got a question to ask . Where do you get most of your materials for cheap like the plastic plants for example ? they are mostly pretty expensive in my country. are there any places to recommend to get these from ?
thx in advance :)
I buy them on wish mate
A possible idea for a future build. Make a pond in the middle of the palm trees to create an oasis. :)
Do you get oasis's in the jungle?
No but i can see those piece surrounding an oasis on a desert board. Or a jungle pool just giving you some ideas that is all.
Bii9
I hit mine with a primer coat of killz oil based to seal against moisture
I am very curious about good jungle/temple terrain. I play Seraphon and I have accumulated a large old fantasy to new model army. I am planning on building terrain and board. Looking for great ideas and more.
Shirt idea if you sell merch, "Gotta get gluing!". I'm subscribed so I was just wondering if you play any miniature games? Would love to see some matches if you do! Great work buddy!
Nice idea and yes, I play a few, BA, Legion, X-Wing to name a few
@@TheTerrainTutor Is it on another channel or is it something you want to keep private? It would be fun to see, and huge thanks for responding it made my evening!
I keep it private, got to keep something as a hobby mate ;-)
@@TheTerrainTutor I understand! Still, stellar job!
uh another thing, any tips for how to un-warp mdf, I have a few pieces that are just slightly warped(one end hovers about a millimetre above the table when i put them down.). I now realize that I should have sealed the back as well, as the slight seal that i applied to the working surface. It doesn't sound right to seal the back before it being warped back to straight. any tips would be come in handy?
in my case im working with 3mm mdf.
Seal the back with pva, itll warp it back straight again
Maybe "concave" rather than "inverse"?
Yes, thats the word, thank you Tam
All our base are belong to us.
They have set us up the palm
Where did you get the jungle grass? that looks amazing
Its covered earlier in the series, its a custom blend of products mate
Thanks, will have a looksie
"what the smeg?" you a fan of the small rouge one mel?
Better dead than smeg mate
don't know if you've mentioned this before, but what is that map in the background? looks interesting, what is it for? what world/universe?
Its a map of chindit operations in burma ww2, Jan 42 to Mar 44, operations long cloth and sunday mate. Its essentially what time trying to build in this video
cool.
I’m working on a kit of jungle terrain for a killteam campaign. How does one go about making smaller scatter terrain for smaller boards?
Check the burma build playlist mate
Bit ironic that mels center piece is gonna be made out out of palm trees don't you think?
I will master them ;-)
Mind me asking what brand those palm trees are? Or did you make them yourself?
Cheap chinese railroad ones mate
