I've been working on some trees over the past week. Many are a "bit" big for my Pendraken stuff although probably not that far off in scale terms. I will almost certainly be using some though as I made a whole range of sizes from about 10cm up to about 30cm height.

Altogether 30 trees, probably cost me around £20 to make (I'll be doing the maths properly as I'm tempted to make more of them and sell some) and personally I think they're every bit as good as Last Valley ones.
Good looking, what they made from?

Nicely done 8)
They look great Gavin. Is that steel wool you've used for the tree canopy?
I may well do a "how to" although if I'm looking to sell these then I'm going to do myself out of money ;D ;D
The trees are bits of twigs topped with rubberised horsehair suitably distressed and teased out of its block. Anyone wanting some and attending Partizan on Sunday pm me as I have lots spare (I ahve a local source) and I can sell you some seriously cheaper than Antenociti's etc. (I won't be there till the afternoon though as I'm at a Stag Do the day before) 8)
Ah, the old rubberised horsehair. Wire wool also works well - although surprisingly expensive considering it's a waste product.
