New post on my main blog http://www.wargamessceneryworld.com - showing you how to make some simple trees out of grape vine stems and vine ripened tomato stems, reindeer moss and flock - you can see the results above. I love re-using stuff you can find around the house for making wargames scenery and terrain - cheap and green! Pop over and have a look and if you make any yourself I'd be glad to feature them.
Just come across quite a nice article on the Games Workshop blog about painting their (somewhat pricey) Realm of Battle gameboard. Quite a lot of useful tips in painting and applying static grass. One thing I'd say though - 18 pots of Scorched Brown at £2.25 a pot...Ouch! You can use ordinary household emulsion paints quite successfully - have a look at ranges that are available in tester pots (small tins). Some of the period colours suppliers have some quite good and games board appropriate muted colours in their ranges. Worth a look anyway - even if you are building your own gameboard, Extra ideas never go amiss!
