Building hedges and other stuff

With my move to 28mm I decided to upgrade some of my terrain, starting with building new hedges from cork, furnace filter, and flock.

Here's how it went - I think the pictures tell the story:

Cutting cork base
bevel the edges

cheap furnace filter from Home Depot

hot-glued to cork base

cut to look hedgy

brown spray paint near the base


green spray paint the bushy part



spray adhesive and flock with dark green coarse turf

and some light green


mostly done - turf still loose

dilute white glue - spray and soak, repeat

finished sturdy product

And some updates on painting progress:

10mm command stands for Byzantine and Arab Conquest armies



Some new 28mm ruins



Another Warlord titan for Adeptus Titanicus


More 28mm Ancient Britons for Jonathan


A P-47 for Bolt Action air support - Academy models 1/72 kit




And a somewhat better weathered M-10 tank destroyer, this time using Vallejo mud 




And my last regiment of 1/72 French Line infantry!
