Basically Id like to have a gnarly looking old pinetree on the edge of a vignette Im planning of a scwimmwagen crew changing a tire in the Black forest in spring 1945. Id like the base to look suitably woodsy with a "fairy tale forest" feel to it .....
Im currently thinking of a wire armature tree with putty overtop...asparagus for the branches..possibly a woodpecker on the tree for atmosphere and interest....any suggestions?...
It will be a simple base with Scwimmwagen and 4 figures in 1:35

I used the technique that the guy on youtube demos, and I showed photos with a chronicle of 1/35 scale, cheap and good looking...
