finds a 3D model on the internet, and tries to turn it into a wargaming model.
We previously looked into Frosted Mini Bottle Brush Trees…
…which are the least expensive of the 2" mini-trees that I've found this year in the craft stores, and look like this:
I previously said that these trees, unlike the glitter trees, were non-shedding. I was wrong. That fake snow stuff does shed, especially if you handle the bristles, producing white bits and dust.
The bases are adequate for trees this short, so the only change I made was to paint the bases with inexpensive green paint (two coats). You can hold the bristles up to get the brush in to paint the base tops.
Whenever someone in my family goes to Hobby Lobby, I pick up a few more packs of these trees. (They are already getting hard to find.) I have 60 trees so far.
As a pumpkinhead blocks the way of a centaur, you can see how the trees work with 28mm figures.
Above, 15mm WWII Soviets infiltrate the forest.
Years later, 15mm Abrams tanks come down the same forest trail.
Same trail, but with 15mm Amazons.
Finally, 1:285th scale (6mm) WWII vehicles on the forest trail.
Which scales do these trees work for? It's your call!
