A bit of Vegetation

[Vagabond]

It's an interesting idea, gluing to glass so you can remove it, I have been experimenting with gluing on to PVC packaging cut into small pieces to achieve a similar effect but leaving the pvc under the terrain piece because it 'disappears' on a board background.
I tend to agree with you that bases detract from fitting the terrain piece onto a board, it seems most people do a board one colour and terrain bases a different one, accentuating the difference.

The other thing that is really good is using natural materials, I don't understand why someone would buy a piece of dowel, distress it to look like a tree trunk, paint it to look like a tree trunk, it then looks like a piece of painted straight dowel, when they could go outside and cut off a piece of wood as you have done. It's much cheaper, simpler, and more effective to use a twig.

Hope I've not been too controversial.

Look forward to seeing more.

Oh, i see! That would work too, I guess! it might end up sturdier!

What you say it's true, but there's often the opposite mistake done too: Sahara sand is NOT the best material for basing Rommel's troops, and real stone usually lacks the shades you need to represent a worn large stone in scale.
But with wood, assuming you chose the proper ones, it works better, mostly because wood in nature has a wide range of colours!

These look really nice.

Really nice trees.  Inspiring me to go rummage around the garden.

Thanks!

Oh please do! Most of the stuff you find around aren't suitable to work well as scale-trees, but some of the smaller bushes are really surprising.

Great work indeed, look brilliant, very natural with no bases.
I do admit I'd like to do some similar sizes myself but I usually use a big old coin as a base, not really sure why. Saying that it works haha...

Very nice, just like all your stuff.

Now, how about a shot of these beauties all together on the intended table?
