With the next Crisis point game due in September I thought it was time to start on some basic terrain items we might need for the game. Some time ago I purchased a bag of 100 trees from a Chinese company on ebay for only a few quid.
Not the best looking trees, but for 5p each still a bargain. The picture doesn't show it but they are a very bright green. Since you can never have too many trees I have tried to improve them a little with the following results.
With plenty of PVA glue and some scatter to fill in the spaces between the bands of folliage and then a quick spray with some green paint I now have a tree that looks, to my eye, a bit more like a tree.
As well as doing some trees I've had a go at some hedges. Lolly sticks for bases textured with some sand, a quick paint and some Woodland scenics clump foliage glued onto them. Quick and easy and not too bad looking.
Only a hundred more to go!
