Brass etchings. Just posted a blog entry about using brass etched foliage to enhance figures. In particular I was looking for a way to add a sprig of oak leaves to a 17th century helmet. Tokens like this were often used as field signs on the battlefield, and some also had symbolism beyond this.
I used a product from Scale Link Fretcetera which worked really well.

Those are very nice. Breathes sigh of relief that it is pretty unlikely they don't make them for 15mm |

Agreed! :-) @KYPD38
Mmm. No sure I should say, but they have these: link Described as 1:152-160 "N" Gauge – perhaps? ;-) |

Thanks, actually pretty useful for something else. Only problem is I can't exactly remember what; but I do remember thinking I needed some leaves for… a wee while ago. |

Nice, there was a moment when I thought of some guy wearing a trench coat saying "Psst, hey kid wanna see some etchings?"  |

Do you maybe do Garden of Eden gaming, KYPD38? If not, perhaps you had a tank or two you needed to camouflage. |
