A bit of Vegetation
« on: 03 September 2017, 09:53:13 AM »
Cheers everyone! To go with the village i'm sloooowly building (see this thread: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=99735.msg1241491#msg1241491) i felt i needed something that resembles a forest, but forests made of solid chunks of foam really never convinced me.

Considering the "abandoned" feel of the whole board i'm building, i thought that a set of destroyed trees and small bushes might do the job. I've got five pieces so far, using mostly thyme (???) branches and other larger pieces found here and there, with a bit of Woodland Scenics clump foliage, trying not to overdo with it.

As always, i do NOT add bases to my scenery. With some of this pieces this proved challenging, but now they are all solid and playable with. :)







These last two are considerably bigger. Note the axe planted in one of the trunks.






C&C Welcome!
Thanks
Jack

Nice bits of terrain. That would work well if you were looking for swamp trees as well.

Thanks! That's true, swamps could work as well, but i didn't want to prepare a "muddy" ground for the whole 3x3 table... I might do swamped areas to place here and there though, it could work greatly!

They give indeed the look of an old forest with destroyed trees, very realistic! A source of ispiration! Congrats!

Thank you everyone! :) That's really motivating!

What are you using for the bases
Thanks Mac! Here's the pont, i'm not using bases at all! Hence, what i simply do is to fix turfs in position with abundant PVA glue, applying them on a glass sheet. When dry, i remove the piece and leave the base as it is. It's not nearly as sturdy as a MDF base, but honestly that's not a concern for me.

Thanks again gents! Hopefully more will come, possibly integrated with some particularly ruined ruins from my other thread:

Great stuff! You style your trees the way you do your buildings, no visible base in sight, I really like that idea! It'll look less jarring on the board! 8)

Thanks Andy! Less jarring and FAR more versatile! I could set them on a snowy terrain, a cobblestone or a grasslan with no big issues of consistency! ^^

It is a really great and inspiring idea! Thanks!!!

Glad to be of any help! :)
