Neat set! Could also use more dead cows to recreate a dio described in the book "Death Trap" where the author was part of a crew that recovered a artillery-strike dead cow under fire using an M-32's crane to butcher the carcass. Grim & funny.

Those camou branches look fantastic! They are a "natural" product, though... I wonder how durable they will be over the years in the display case...?

Really nice set,one to get for sure. The branches remind me of a similar product by Hudson and Allen.

When I was into model railroading many years ago, folks would soak “air fern” in a solution of very hot water and mineral oil, which supposedly would preserve the product for 20 years or more. Not sure if that would work for this product. I have some naturally occurring lichen in my yard that I use for bushes and bushy trees. It’s very fine, and when painted with acrylics and sprinkled with ground foam, it really looks the part, but it dries out and begins to crumble in three or four years. I tried the water and mineral oil trick last year on some, and so far, it’s holding up very well, but only time will tell.

Good morning everyone,
To answer your question about the conservation of the natural foam, it keeps very well and very long. For example a fir tree made more than 10 years ago for one of our basic vignette - VB08 item still present on our webshop. The paint comes to fix the foam, so it does not alter!
