Going through Osprey's Terrain Modelling, i keep seeing references to flexi bark.

I can't seem to find a supplier here in the US...does anyone know of one, or do I have to order from the UK?

TIA

I ordered it from 4-D in England with some other unique items they carry. Flexibark is like nothing else I have seen. The 4-D people are great.

From the www.barrule.com web site

"Flexi-bark
A water soluble rubberised plaster, containing a fine grit which gives a bark-like texture to your trees. This Green Scene manufactured product will allow you to bend the branches without the material breaking off!
Adds texture and strength to seafoam branches and trunks, helps hide 'joins' and bound "tree-wire". Highly recommended for composite tree-making and repairing of damaged trunks, essential for coating trunks and branches when making wire trees."

Hope it helps
