So when I was in Oak Park I bought a bunch of trees for 15mm but never got them out of the boxes – had to move unexpectedly! But I have the Spring Cleaning bug and dug them up and have been working on basing them the past day or three… In the background are a forest of bases that have been spray painted and need flocking…

Robin Hood would be jealous! Nice work. |

Must be the season.
I have about 80 trees for 15-25mm I'm basing and another 200 for micro armor in the wings. |

Very nice--I'm following these threads closely. |

These look very nice! Also I dig your expansive, well-lit workshop area. |

Mmm. Makes the additional 10 trees I've just done seem a bit pathetic… I see yours are shedding foliage as rapidly as mine were. As soon as I had them glued to sturdy bases I hit them with matt varnish and they seem to have retained their greenery a bit better since. |

I'm going to use scenic cement. You always get lots of loose foliage right out of the package. Just ordered another 80 trees in different styles too. |

Crispy, Scenic Cement is not as good as Matte Medium when it come to holding foliage on trees. Scenic Cement is okay for groundwork, but I would not use it on trees. Use 80% Matte Medium, 20% distilled water and a drop of dishwashing liquid as your mix. I use the tiny spray bottles that come in Woodlands Scenics school project terrain kits to spray it on. Modge Podge MM is cheaper, but I prefer Liquatex Matte Medium, which I have found to be superior to any other brand.
A 40% off Michaels coupon will do you nicely. |

shows us that you don't need money to have great bases.
