Rest of the hills and roads the paint is still drying so I figured I could attach some trees to the woods sections. I was also going to flock with static grass but after watching some videos on application getting a static grass applicator is really handy. I’m new to all of this so I started at the Woodland Scenics and got some major sticker shock. $80 so I looked into some DIY options. I saw someone taking an electric bug swatter and wiring it up to a mess strainer. A nice idea but a bit more janky than I’d want to use for a first time. Got a suggestion from SoapDodger on Discord to look at some other applicators as they are much cheaper. One Amazon shopping trip later I have one coming in for $21 that should get the job done. I’m just flocking some smaller items so don’t need anything fancy.

Back to woods I grabbed my non stacked bases and trees. I have some magnets that I ordered for another project that were the wrong size. I figured these would be perfect to attach the trees but still allow them to be moved when minis are in the woods. Made sure to match the polarity on each of these so they are all interchangeable. The end result is not too bad and will look a lot better with the static grass on it. Next I’ll work on the roads and rivers when the primer is dry tomorrow, or start on painting the Build Up Area.
