Big woods



An over head picture showing how I build the body of my woods, based on art mounting board in this instance, still based around CD dimensions, three in this case. twigs are all 30mm high and hot glued onto the art board base. Shows how I use the toilet roll centers to create the outline of the wood which the twigs are glued to, then free standing twigs/trunks glues away from the main body of the wood to create the uneven naturalistic look. The sketch shows how I drew up the idea. The other picture shows a wood painted and awaiting the final process, the most time consuming and boring part of the lot, but unfortunately the key one.

These look very effective. They give a great impression of a dense stretch of woodland. Your use of budget items is brilliant too, nice one.

Thanks Dinium, the less spent on the terrain, the more cash in the defence budget for the lead...

I agree, the wood looks very dark and forboding. Just the place that you expect a German war-band to come screaming out of. Very nice.
