Hey Guy''s,
Here is a link to a review I just posted. We received a sample of Dead Leaves/Foliage from a new Company called Dio-Master from Canada. Great product from this new company I look forward to seeing more of their products in the future.
Cheers,
Bryan

They look very much like the product Hudson and Allen used to carry called forest litter, great product but hard to find. Hope these are just as good.
Regards,
Robert

We share the same sentiments. I don't think it will every be available here in the Philippines.

Sheesh, if you guys want dead leaves.... come sweep out my yard and clean my rain gutters! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)


In all seriousness though, the stuff looks really nice... authentic... what is it made from?

As bodymovin stated these are the seeds from the Silver Berch tree. They are excellent to use in models. I used them recently in a vignette and they really can right an atmosphere to it.

Like I stated earlier you can order dircet from the manufacturer. Or you can mention them to your local hobby shop and tell them where to purchase them. Janic at Dio-Master is a great guy and will do whatever he can to help you out and get them to you no matter where you are.
Cheers,
Bryan

Bryan, As Costas said earlier this appears to be the same thing as the hudson and allen forest litter. And that makes this a wonderful thing. The only trouble I am having is linking to there site from the link you gave. Do you have a direct link? Thanks for the review. Cheers Kevin

There seems to be a problem with his site as that is the correct link. You can email Janic at [email protected] and he will be more than happy im sure to help you. Just tell him you saw the review here at the BIG A.
Cheers,
Bryan.

P.S
Yes they appear to be the SIlver birch seed pods that are similar to the H&A product, only this one is available and in stock.
