Harook Treehouse

A couple of new photos of the Harook Treehouse. Additions from the previous photos include some piled logs for protection at the base as well as sitting on and a camo net hung over the platform for protection from both the sun and unfriendly eyes.

The tree started its life as a medium sized Woodland Scenics deciduous tree, the branches bent quite severely to provide supports for the platforms. The platforms are textured plasticard, I think asbestos roofing (not real asbestos!), and they stick on quite easily with airplane glue. The base is an old DVD.

The logs I picked up from a hedge that had been recently trimmed while waiting for a bus to go to work. The netting for the camo net comes from garlic container, painted and flocked. So proof against vampires too.

WMMMMMMMMMS

Maybe too many M's in there? Anyway I went to the West Midlands Military Show on Sunday and picked up a bunch of stuff...

From Critical Mass Games some Grav Bikes, which will probably end up being part of the New Vistula Legion....







 


...and some combat scout walkers (dunno who'll get those), trial paint job as multicam...

...From Ainsty some flying bases in clear resin...












...a trial version of a non PPPS grav vehicle will be my next job, here's a precariously balanced preview...










 ..and two 15mm resin ruins from a bargain bin for the Harook to squabble over...

Treehouse

Lurking in the background of the photos in the last post was my newly built Harook treehouse, a traditional forest style Harook dwelling that roaming flocks still construct when out invading other flocks territory.

This one has split level platforms and enough space for a squad of Harook to lounge about without getting too crowded for comfort.

The next item for the Harook to construct will be some form of protective barrier to provide some solid cover both on the platforms as well as underneath the tree at ground level.

The tree is a medium sized Woodland Scenics tree with the addition of some textured plastic card to form the platforms. The tree is mounted on an old CD. Harook from Mad Robot Miniatures.

Harook House and Fire

 I've started work on a Harook tree house by glueing some platforms onto a plastic tree armature. I'll be adding on some foliage and maybe some walls and things.

And I've made a fire marker by glueing tree foliage clumpy stuff to a fire smoke shape made from car repair metal mesh stuck on a 2 pence base. Lots of paint hides the greenness of the foliage.

And here it is modelled on top of one of my tanks, hopefully I won't need many more fire/smoke markers.
