For years, I’ve seen the complaint online that hard sci-fi wargaming is just “Vietnam in space.”
Pffft, whatever. I like “Vietnam in space.”
Of course, the bog standard Terran rice paddy won’t do for my war torn colony world. Instead, I’ve designed and printed a sci-fi garden bed, or aquatic planter, or… Rice paddy :p
These were designed in Blender, printed in some random PLA, and tarted up using one whole piece from the bits box each.
The paint job is a stippling of grey and green craft paints followed by an extremely diluted wash of Army Painter strong tone (Don’t even. The bottle was almost empty anyway). I think they look suitably grungy and well used.
The “dirt” is Vallejo acrylic paste. Once it’s dry, I’ll glue down some tufts and then attempt a layer of muddy water using AK water gel and some brown paint.
