My first wargame trees:)
« on: 17 October 2010, 11:48:57 PM »
Want to show you my first trees! Materials used:
scenic woodland flock and folliage of same colour
cardboard
greenstuff
tree branch
a lot of PVA glue

Unfortunately I have only 1 colour of folliage, but I want to buy more colours :)

Here are some photos of trees.


Trees with 15mm QRF M2 Bradley, Judjes from 15mm.co.uk


With Atlas Mecha (I bought it for only 3 dollars of Sale!!!), 15mm.co.uk adventurer and Irregular Miniatures dog

Nice work Fjodin.

I made some of my trees using the twigs from what I belive is a Malaluka bush and Woodland Scenics Foliage Clusters well over ten years ago and they're still holding up quite well especially considering the amount of rough treatment they've experienced over the years by the younger lads at our club.

They look pretty simple to make but the result is absolutely gorgeous, my only worry would be how easy it would be to break them.
