I found a "quick'n'dirty" way to make good looking woods. The video is in the post over at http://www.forward-to-richmond.com/2013/08/07/cant-see-the-forest-for-the-trees-wargame-woods-101/ (http://www.forward-to-richmond.com/2013/08/07/cant-see-the-forest-for-the-trees-wargame-woods-101/)
Comments and suggestions are very welcome :)
The video doesn't show I'm afraid :(.
It may be that you need to wait a bit in order to download the start of it. ( I've yet to figure out how to make it stream able a la YouTube )
Worked OK for me...it is very slow to load and stopped to buffer 4 times.

Spray with varnish afterwards to enhance durability.

Same for me at work and at home.
Same message here, the photo of the trees looks interesting, though.
Worked fine for me
I finally saw it !
( I downloaded it to my computer, and then look at it. I used mplayer, as I'm on a linux PC, but VLC should work fine. the link : http://www.forward-to-richmond.com/movies/Cant-see-the-forest-for-the-trees.m4v )
I really like your trees ! good pics, too. Thanks for sharing !
Very nice movie! and gorgeous trees!
Yes, the direct link worked. Very effective looking!
Thanks for the good comments folks :)
Having done a few more, I'll add a few useful tips for assembling the woodlets. Main point being to use a pair of scissors to snip the underside of the outer ring of trees to get a better fit.

I bit the bullet and uploaded it to YouTube and embedded it in the post. Hopefully it will run with less hassles now.
Works straight off the first link now.
Nicely done - simple & effective 8)
Very nice video and great idea. :)
Yep, video works perfectly now.
An idea I must try. Nice one, Tobbe. :-bd :-bd :-bd
