Desert Oasis Terrain Features



Charlie Foxtrot Models has recently produced a set of lasercut base kits to make desert oasis terrain features, including removable tree bases and a plastic insert to represent the water. They also have some plastic palm trees in various sizes that you can buy to add to the bases. I have ordered two sizes of the oasis templates and some trees for the desert terrain project.

The idea will be to create a couple of generic watering hole features with a set of palm trees or Woodland Scenic bare trees to swap over, depending on the game and location. There's also a really useful set of woodland bases using the same basic design which I'm looking at as a future approach to jungle bases for Darkest Africa. Very useful indeed!

  1. Nice idea - switching foliage to suite etc

  3. Yes I think they will be very handy. The tree bases also look good - used for jungle, they would allow you to have lift out sections into which you could drop flat bases, so that figures could be put on top.
