Does anyone manufacture or print a 28mm Dung Heap? |

I would think a heap of plastic wood or acrylic caulk, well mixed with coarse flocking or pencil shavings to look like undigested grass, would do the trick wouldn't it? Prime dark brown and dry-brush w/lighter earth tone. |

I thought all printers did that already. Oh no he didn't! Seriously, print a pile O poo??? Easier and cheaper and EVERYTHING to do it the easy way (no skill required), as mentioned above. If you can't model a mound of dung, well… not much hope. For goodness sake give it a go. I reckon a mound of scrunched foil or plasticine. Cover in pva and sand, then drape/mix on bits of pva/water soaked cotton wool or static flock or trimmed string. Paint dark brown, light brown-yellow grass. Plenty of options. (Yeees… Including 3d printing more cr, well..) Heck, contact me via my site and I can make you some. Be pretty cheap. |

What period? A dark age dung heap, or something more 18th century? ;) |

Manufactured by Bessie.
Still hot off the press.

Hmm… What about polystyrene, flat bottom, top pinched off to give mound of dung effect. Paint and dry brush dark browns. A few areas of pva and some static flock or similar sprinkled on. Add wafts of cotten wool for that brisk early morning effect. |

link You disappoint me. No one thought of it? |

Space marines in AOS? What madness is this??!! So I put my money where my mouth is and made some. They are polystyrene (if it's not obvious). Painted browns, then mix of flock and cut string and cotton wool steam. |

@The H Man:
That's disgusting. Good work. |
| The H Man | 10 Jul 2020 1:57 a.m. PST |
Thanks. By the end I was wondering if I wasn't just polishing, well… I think I have dung well, at least I had heaps of fun! |

WOW!! a real steamer that one!! It deserved being posted again. |

Ahhh, nothing like a fresh pile in the am. That would make a great objective for my opponent….maybe once. |

Maybe it's the piece of equipment the large animal ate that you are tasked to recover. Short straw? |

There's a scenario in a Bolt Action book (Operation Market Garden) that calls for a dungheap. |
