That a great looking product and you've got a great result out of it.  I have used Scenic Express SuperLeaf, Woodland Scenics Coarse Turf and Heki/MiniNatur Leaves but I am always happy to discover something new.

Nice.  Just FYI, Woodland Scenics polyfiber is only meant as an "under coat" material to have other things added on to get to a finished product but I've never liked it because it is so beset with random tendrils though they can be cut off.  A great challenge is getting leaves to look in scale - especially in 15 mm, my scale.  Your tree, if a bit darker, would pass for a nice magnolia tree - though not currently in bloom.

Yes (it is also a slightly blue green - reminding me of the colors in Australia).

Having re-read the Gordon Gravett book, I would reduce the density quite  bit. And yes, the tendrls get everywhere.

Too true. Fine miced sponge is probably a better bet.

I am hoping to pick up some "Ivy" (dark green) and leaf litter soon.

So I have some more leaves from the Little Leaf Company (via Green Scenes).


The material appears to be made from silver birch catkins.

I am working on one of the trees at the moment.

Looks superb! Nicely done sir.

Botou os ingleses na roda

E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
