well I guess today is the day JM70 decided to make me feel totally inadequate as a customizer. I don't think I could find time for a single tree. then the grass? and bushes? man. I'm tired just thinking about it.

As always, a great find JM.

I have to build my own trees all the time. Like I said at my site, Diorama Rabbit, before CG and these new places that make resin explosions and EZ-Water, not only is water and fire incredibly difficult to portray in miniature, but so is wood, specifically, large trees in our scale. Some deadfall helps for those with wooded areas, but without deadfall (like here in Central FL), I have to craft them from hardcell foam rods, bark texture, and a mix of lichen for filler, and hand punched leaves (depending on the species of tree) that are added to the lichen's surface.

Cool thing is, I can make tons of dead or fallen leaves from a crumpled paper bag and the leaf punches, which are great for living and dead trees.
