Expanding My Tree Collection

[Codsticker]

It seems like you can never have enough hedges or trees in your medieval or ECW games and although I have several feet of hedging I only had three trees. By adding 6 more I have tripled my collection!

2 of them are made from Woodland Scenics armatures, 4 of them from sage brush cuttings I bought second hand; on some of them I added plastic WS branches added to them as shown in the picture below:

I used my now go-to material for the canopy branches, 3M Heavy Duty Stripping Pad material.

After a spray coat of grey primer, followed by GW's Wyldwood contrast paint and a light drybrush of grey foliage was added.

I used two types: on your left in the photo below, Heki Tree Leaves 1620 and on your right, a blend of SuperLeaf med. green and spring green (with a pinch of moss green).

The basing is my usual static grass mix with med. green SuperTurf and home made shrubs over a foundation of bark mulch that had been ground in a coffee grinder. With a coat of thinned burnt umber I am quite happy with both the texture and colour.

I agree, they look great.

Purely coincidental, I'm also working on a couple of new additions to my wargame tree collection and have just taken some images that I hope to be posting soon.

mulch that had been ground in a coffee grinder.

Doesn't your coffee taste funny after that?
Very nice looking trees.

Just like bunk house coffee.

Very nicely done

Really nice job on those. Now, you just need about 200 more of them!

As a retired tree surgeon I approve of those trees! I’m (very slowly) increasing my tree collection but the mould lines on the woodland scenics armatures have nearly destroyed my sanity!
