I need some scenery for my 6mm battles so I´ve start with a couple of forests. You can see some pics here:

Very much – in fact, this is a problem now that I have sizable 6mm Napoleonic armies – a certain shortage of tress How did you make those most excellent forests? |

Those are very nice. I wanted more of an "operational" look and made mine like this: link |

I've used the ExtraCrispy method too for 1/300th woods. Also made large angular-edged ones for more cultivated areas (based on aerial photos) for my WW2 Corps level games. |

There is a method that improves on Extra Crispy's. Check out the writeup here: 6mmacw.com/forests.html
In short it uses Mark's cut outs but places them on trunks that raises the forest off the table To place or show troops you simply take off the top leaving the base segment. Troops can actually be placed in a forest then hidden |

Toronto48: That was my original plan, but I found these trees on a store and could not resist… :-) |

I'm going to make the trunk bases for mine at some point… |

Toronto, that's just a version of the Architects of War method:

Apologies for the necro, but has anyone tried the architects of war/canopy style woods for larger scale figures? Specifically 20mm?
I'm thinking of going that route and wondered if there were any pics out there. |

I'll take that as a no, then |

I have.
I use that method for 12mm, 1/72, and it works good for 28mm as well.
I don't have any online pictures, though. |
