Reed bed

Progresses on the swamp has been slow over the last week or so but today I decided I would spend a little time making a reed bed on one edge for fun.  Normally I would use a clump of paintbrush hairs glued on as seen in the wonderful 15mm piece on the Valley of Isk entry until I remembered my wife had kindly bought me some reeds for the Pygmy figures I have to complete from Antenociti (last item here) so out came a pin to make the holes in the foam and a few minutes later:

Once the swamp is filled with water (still experimenting on a small hex tile) I’ll trim these down to around waist to knee height (28mm scale).

Nice yukky swamp, and thanks for the mention (Valley of Isk).

Those big mushed down spots add so much realism, I love it!!
