That is really cool! I don't have the patience to make them, but they would be nice on the table. |

This is great. I'm setting my wife to work making tiny corns out of sculpy… |

A great piece and a super tutorial. |

Mr Bond is an expert in all matters regarding military modelling and these are typically excellent. In 20 mm I used Tasma corn which represent both authenticity and a great price for my Antietam project. Best wishes, Chris |

Nice to see that the corn is not in rows, as would be correct until after the Civil War. |

Grant, in his account of Belmont, mentions the corn being in rows. |

A terrific effect. It struck me, on a visit to Waterloo one summer, just what an obstacle is a cornfield. Almost impenetrable to a footslogger. Wheat field may tangle you up and pull your boots off. Rape seed will trip you a dozen times, but maize (as I think farmers call this over here) is almost impassible. |

Honestly, a tilled field is rough going. I crossed one at Gettysburg and regretted it enough to want to turn back and go around instead. |

Happy you like it boys…

There is a misconception about American corn/ maize fields in that they were dense jungle plantings, before the introduction of hybrid varieties and mechanisation. As a farmer, harvesting the crop is quite important. Hence the checkerboard style of planting allowing lanes for maintenance and reaping the annual reward.
I studied this extensively for my Antietam re fight as the area is covered with these fields ( not just Mr D R Miller).
This excellent link should clear up any confusion.

Mr. Bond also has a terrific tutorial for Allied armor.

Beautiful work! And the worst footing I ever encountered (during a reenactment) was on a recently HARVESTED corn field. I'm sure it was the effect of the modern harvesting machine, but there were a great many short pieces of corn stalk everywhere and they were SLIPPERY! Trying to cross the field was like trying to march on an ice skating rink. |

Wow, great modeling, congrats! |

Some extra information on these; the Fejka line apparently covers a large range of artificial plants. The particular Fejka in question is the 9cm Rosemary, the Ikea catalog code for it is 903.821.13. |
