Finally got to the point where I could finish off my woods terrain. I bought two of the Citadel Woods kits, I absolutely love the bases and the tree trunks and branches. However I realized I had to do something about the actual foliage. The plastic leaf canopies that come with the kit are absolutely hideous and just don't look good. After much internal debate, I just thought I would try Woodland Scenics clump foliage, which worked fabulously. It just improves the Citadel kit so strikingly. The trees have a wonderful twisty fantasy/banzai feel to them. I attached the clumps with hot glue in layers, working from inside to the out.

The new foliage is a vast improvement on the plastic (and flat) leaves. Well done. Tony |

I might just try this. How many bags of foliage did you use? |

@Beowulf, I was able to do all three trees with less than (1) 3 QT. bag. I bought it a couple years ago but if the code is still current it is Woodland Scenics FC182 Light Green. I still have about 1/4 bag of foliage left. Here's the current link for it. I would imagine you'd be able to get it a bit cheaper from a general hobby supply site, it's $18.99 USD if you get it directly from WS; link |

Never liked those trees at all, but your work has turned me around. Well done and thanks for sharing. |

Nicely done! That looks so much better than the plastic leaves. |
