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!
Hedges look great, Dave! I made some similar ones a decade (or so) ago with dish scrubbing pads - but the furnace filter idea looks grand. I may have to steal that if I ever feel the urge for more (or an upgrade!)
