Hi guys.

A quick question for those scratchbuilding specialists here...
I'm building a little vignette about the landing by airborn troops near Arnhem.

And I went searching for something that could go for this flower(*), but I didn't found something.
Now I want to make (a lot) of these ones but I don't know how to start or with what.
Anyone of you that have an idea?

*It's this flower:



Regards
Wesley

Hi Wesley

It looks something like a heathland Heather to me. I was going to say gorse, but I think that has thorns and I don't see any.

You could try doing a search for model scenery suppliers.

I know there are many used by model railway builders that might be of use. Names like Joefix spring to mind along with Woodland Scenics, Timberline etc.

Check out these sites as a starting point, but as I say model railways would be a good place to start looking.

the best you can find, you will foind it in the nature, for free.
When I was kid I used to pick up these kind of flower in miniature in my excursions in south of France. I don't remember the name, but I'm 100% sure that if you go to a good with large reference flowerist, you will find your hapiness
