I want to add some camo to my models but dont like the cast on stuff.
I have clump foliage and lichen, but again dont like the finished product and am looking for a slightly more realistic material that looks like tree branches.
Does anybody have any suggestions that may work.

Thyme : Do not use the dried foliage but only the branch.

I guess if you live in the "perfide Albion", chances to find wild thyme are reduced, but worth a try.

Yes Dazza, something like that.

Lichen just looks wrong and is quite smelly and the clump folliage that I have just looks like clump foliage stuck to a model.
What do you use to get the effect?
I tried to open the picture to zoom in but was unable to get any closer.

I'll take some close up shots this weekend if I remember.

its mostly shredded clump foilage and static grass.

It definately looks better than what I have seen previously.

Looking forward to your larger pictures.

These are the cast on Camo halftracks and the clump foilage is on top of it, so I've shown one painted, and one added on.

Dazza:

I still don't like the cast on camouflage but admit I never thought of overlaying it with clump foliage. I am looking for a more hastily rammed on tree bits look... a bit like this ....damn how do you attach a photo?
