Hi everyone!

I'm making a dio and I need some bushes. I tried a few technics, but I'm not satisfied with the result. I'm a beginner, so I need a simple and quick way to make bushes. Could anyone help me?

Bye!

Do you have access to Woodland Scenics products designed for Railroad use? There "Bushes" come in several shades of green and work well with 1/35-54mm figures for small bushes. Also, check out the dried flower sectio of any local arts and crafts stores.

Hey Jure
Agree with Al here, so long as you don't mean cheap/free when you say quick and simple. The Woodland scenics bushes/foliage are quick and simple, but are also the most realistic bushes around...
Cheers

hello thompson,
i read a review a while back and found it worked quite well.buy a bag of steel wool,available at most hardware stores.tear off peices the size you need and stretch and shape.next,spray or airbrush a shade of brown.when dry cover with spray adhesive and sprinkle on parsley,oragano or any spice with a leafy look.again after drying,spray with the colour of green you want the bush to be.
this works quite well and i hope it helps.
