I am having a hard time finding a ready-made model Cypress tree for Middle East/Africa setting. Anybody have any suggestions. Flames of War scale (15mm)…

Thanks for any help.

To be more specific, looking for the Italian or Mediterranean species of Cypress tree…

Thanks.

I think you may have to settle for a European Poplar and give it a yellow dry brushing over the green, some of the appropriately sized pine models could also be given the same treatment for some of the other Mediterranean species.

bsrlee,

Yes, I think you are right and I found some which look close enough for a wargames table…

Thank youl

Try searching CAKE Decorations online. I have purchased both deciduous plastic trees and palm trees for a really good price.

Yeah. Cake decorations. Also try places like Michael's where their fake plants are on post holiday sale. Good luck!
