Hi
Where can I purchase Scale Foliage. Im looking for tree limbs with leaves attached or maybe someone can tell me how I can make it. This will be used on German Tanks.
Thanks

As far as camo foliage - I would take a trip to AC Moores or Michaels (and bring the 40% off coupon). In thier dried flower section they have great dried 'stuff' that would work very well. You may have to add a bit of darker paint to the 'limb' part but - I've seen and purchased some really good stuff. I can't come up with any names but you'll know it when you see it.

Orion, this is what I would use:

for limbers I would use some dries roots from the garden, cover them with PVA glue and sprinkle herbs (Oregano, Parcley) on them.

Here is a picture of my first trees by using Seafoam and herbs

The only problem with Seafoam is that you can't get at in US. At least I haven't been able to find any.

I can't come up with any names but you'll know it when you see it.



Candytuft and Caspia are the two best that I have found. Caspia for evergreens and Candytuft for deciduous trees. Hudson and Allen also have Pine Boughs which are very good.

Caspia
