It is very hard to realistically depict military vehicle camouflage using tree branches in 1/35 scale. Mantis Miniatures introduced their ready-to-use branches couple of weeks ago and the company now expands its catalogue with new sets of branches. Check them out.

They look good, but I would want to see the array you get in each pack and what the final price is.

Bill nailed my questions as to amount, style of branches, etc. Either way I think that these are HOT! I am so tired of trying to come up with my own solutions to problems like this and look forward to other varieties being offered.

If they are the same as their Leafy branches set and Pine branches set there are 10 branches in each set...price is 14 Euro per set.
An easy find on the Mantis site...

Jason is correct. The news story has info on amount and pricing, but I would be very interested to see those branches up close and personal. These sets sound almost too good to be true.

Checked them out online and liked what I saw, though I did find it really odd to refer to them as "Limited Edition" -talk about lame marketing ploys "step right up and buy some branches..."
