We use the plastic "pine" type trees on pennies (both ways - as shown in the video presented) - we got a fancy high-dollar tree with many "pine-tree:" branches ON SALE right after Christmas in a Salvation Army store (whole 8-foot tree) for $15 - THE POINT HERE is to remember to go look for this kind of thing in November/December when they put it out on display !!! We also find Christmas Wreathes (plastic branches) with a couple hundred branches (pine-formed-trees) on each one wreath ! Over the years we've collected many bags full of "different shaped:" plastic branches at different lengths/heights which can be used as fruit-trees etc. because of their different shape trom pine-wood trees ! Also there are shorter plastic shapes that make good garden/farm crops in a field - we find these various plantings/trees good for micro-armor scale up to 25mm troops depending on height ?
That is a really great bit of advice there. I went to the dump the other day, and there was a Christmas tree getting thrown out, so I grabbed my leatherman from the car and pruned off a dozen tips. 1 man's rubbish is definitely another man's treasure. haha. Thanks again for the tip on the wreaths etc.
Suggestion, if you live near the ocean, consider using beachcombed seasponge as tree/shrub foliage. It is completely free, has a really cool organic structure & natural earthy base hue, and soaks up pigment better than synthetic sponge does. Onl caveat is you want to give each sponge a sniff- test before you take it home.
Great video, its always a pain having so many different sizes of terrain to keep. Great tips.🎉
Excellent video!! Exactly what I was looking for!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Great use of items rather affordable, tutorial for scale is excellent, can use for different scale as well..
Thanks, Ed, thats the goal. Otherwise, the scenery just takes up so much space.
Im going to try this technique for magnetized battletech forest hexes thanks for the video
Thanks for watching, Im glad its helpful.

Thanks John, I really appreciate the feedback.

Haha, agreed about the sniff test. I will look out for some next time I go.
Well done, nice looking trees!
Thanks very much.
