Terrain WIP update

Many thanks to my favourite dog who lives down the street for yet again waking me up at 2 am. this time it happened to be on saturday morning, so i made some coffee and got down to some hobbying. many hours later i looked with pride and what i had accomplished. not all that much, but enough to reward myself with a quick catnap. bad idea as i was supposed to go watch a large IG on IG tank battle but when it starts at 12 and you wake up at 3 that sorta goes out the window.

 First up is my forested hill where the 4th tree snapped like the dried twig it was so i had to cut off the old stem, drill some holes to pin it. that was the top.

 at the base of the tree i had just over 12mm of foam to support the whole tree which was not nearly strong enough of a bond so i drilled 2 small holes in the bottom and pushed some paperclips into the foam through the holes. proper support :)
 just to be on the safe side i made sure it wasn't going to move or be moved with a 40mm base and some steel epoxy
 forested hill after it got some sand glued onto it and my little rock pile multi-level thing getting some more paint
 doesn't it look pretty?
 ok so now i've missed out on what was most likely an epic tank battle, sad panda time all round. cheering up was needed so i made a quick and dirty version of a lightbox to cheer myself up. still have no clue if i did it right or where you are supposed to mount lights but it kept me busy
 removable foil covered cardboard sections for when they get worn out and you want to replace them

 silly scouts got all excited and went to play on the rocks
 rocks scenery almost done, just in need of some sealing, a wee bit more drybrushing and some static grass / flock
