We were walking the other day and, as always, I had one eye open for wargaming inspiration.
I noticed some pieces of poplar tree bark on the track which looked like it would be useful for low ridges. There was loads of it around in manageable size bits so I brought some home, washed off the dirt and took a photo with some Pendraken models. It may be better in a desert setting.
It is reasonably robust, it should be OK to paint and the slight curvature could be filed down if required. I'll be looking out for more.
Cheers, Colin

I can't see the picture; just an irritating little icon.

Let's try it as an attachment.
EDIT: No That didn't work either. I can see it but that doesn't help.
One last try.

Yep, that's worked Colin and they do look good. Time to go hunting in the woods... :D.

That's good. Reminds me of Hay Tor up on Dartmoor.

That idea has got a lot of potential. I'll keep the old peepers open next time I go on walkabout.

Worth the wait. Those would look good for Wild West scenarios, wouldn't they?

Glad you all like them.
Wild West is a good idea.
