Re: Camouflage foliage
Thanks mate I'll have a look
Re: Camouflage foliage
Ok I've now found some on eBay , can anyone suggest what ones would be suitable for Normandy, where it's almost hard to find a German tank picture without tree camoflage. Also it's hard to scale what size is suitable as these are ment for model railways . Thanks jackalope for your suggestion they look great but I was hoping to get them a bit more local

Re: Camouflage foliage
I can't imagine that a model rail road shop near you doesn't carry this stuff.
Re: Camouflage foliage
Model railroad stuff is gonna be a little small, even with trees. If I were you I'd try searching for stuff made for 1/12 doll houses. That may be too big, but it will be harder to notice.

Re: Camouflage foliage
Hello Bluelion,
If you don't mind making your own tree branch armatures or maybe using some real small twigs the best foliage that I have found to date is from a US company ( I think ) called MININATUR. There is a company in the UK which stock this , WWW.modeldisplayproducts.co.uk , they are not very big packs so you may need a couple to complete the job. They come in different colours and variations and they look very realistic , I'm sure you'll find something to suit, HTH

Re: Camouflage foliage
And Ausf (Jeff) at RCU makes these very cool leaves in scale for the tanks. I've been thinking of trying those in a camo net to see how they look, but I'm still in "spend-no-money-mode" until I get my buddy the cat sorted out.

Re: Camouflage foliage
Thanks gentlemen for the advice , tried the model railway shop ... The one near me does not do anything that good . .. Got some lichen though .... Point taken about collecting stuff I walked the dogs today and picked up some suitable stuff that looked like 1/16 scale ... Can't get the leaves though...... May try to grow a bonsai plant ...
