Beautiful! :-*
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Whilst chomping at the bit waiting for the Arnhem Paras, I picked up a pack of the Vietnamese civilians to have something to chuck paint at.

Pack DS6

Cheers Carlos.
It's the 'Tall Shrubbery' from Green Stuff World. I bought three packs; light green, dark green and this is the white green.
I chopped it down a bit, drilled some small holes for the stems to sit in, then hid the holes with some home made self adhesive static grass tuffs, made care of my electric shock delivery device.
I'm not sure if they are currently part of a sale, or priced to clear, but at the moment they are less than half the price I've seen elsewhere, if you get them direct.

It's the same stuff I used on that Stug III in the ww2 thread. Light & dark green on that one.

Thanks guys.

Added a brace of 'Foo Dog' statues, to add to the general scatter collection. Should go nicely with a Buddha statue I had a go at previously.

Cheers Carlos. It's Tesco's finest dried mixed herbs, ground up. Stuck on with PVA, then an Umber wash, and a khaki dry brush, add foliage to taste...

Just need to add some bases, not sure whether to just stick them to individual round bases or make something bigger, with some crumbling wall etc.
