Planting Season!


Time for another experiment in foliage!  As you can see, the test involves the paper foliage which I have used on a limited basis.


Thin wire is included with the kit, which allows you to make a very solid stem for the plants. 


Most of the painting is done prior to attachment to the main base.


Ready for placement!!


The ferns in position...


I drilled a few holes to anchor the stems...


The larger leaves are placed as a pair, just like the ferns.


One more leaf to place!


The Gamers Grass tufts will be used to cover the holes drilled for the stems, and offer the addition of green color to the broken temple base.


Both leaves and tufts in place!  Images of the final results to follow!!

    1. Thanks for the kind words! I believe it's called Diorama Accessories, which I purchased from Hangar 18's website.

    3. It is pretty expensive stuff, but it works so well! I will eventually experiment with making my own...

  2. Is it durable? I guess it's more durable than brass etch, but would you game with it? Lovely lizard BTW

    1. I definitely would, since it's being supported by wire. That's even stronger than the foliage I've been using for over a year with my WWX minis :-)

    1. The great property of the wire support was the way I could drill holes into my base to sink them in like a pinned miniature!
