When doing edges like the spine of the leaf it helps to use the side of your brush, rather than the tip. You will be able to have a bit more control as the paint will only go onto the very edge, rather than smear over.
Brilliant! Would be cool to resize the leaves to try and do a north african 15mm terrain set for FoW!
Nice.
That finished tree looks really impressive.
I am blown away by how realistic and detailed these look.
That tree is great, but how did you base it? You had the wires sticking out, but then what?
Wow that tree looks awesome! Great job Lloyd! I love Hobby Lab!
🙂 The wierd name Dunkelgelb is german and means dark yellow
Really nice looking palm trees, you horticultural knowledge is correct Llyod, the Fronds (leaves) of the palm tree grow from the centre at the top of the tree. The feathered area looks great with steel wool.
Something else, the wet palette video from Roman is not working. Only for me?
It didn’t work for me the first time I tried it but after I reloaded the page once it worked fine.

Does anyone have a recommended baking paper in the UK to use? So many of them I find are silicon coated and don’t let the water permeate through quickly enough.
@Lloyd we need answers!
I’m also having problems finding a parchment that isn’t non stick or coated in some way.
I just used greaseproof paper Tesco own brand and it worked a treat.
Beautiful Lloyd.
But why didn’t you show us how you based it?
Palm trees look great, especially the brown dried parts along the stem and the ends. EXACTLY how they look (we have them all over the place here). Great job! Now just get a sweat shop of 10-12 people making these for you for about a week! Now you’re ready for Babylon!
1 way to resize to flames of war sizing would be to put the templates to print in 2 pages per page on printer settings. I’ll try this and let you know, because then it would work for the ruined walls etc.
Lloyd, it is just awesome looking.
I assume they’ll be al little bit tiny for 15mm and so not easy to makt. But it’s surely worth a try.
…ahr, that reads not right. I wanted to say, if you make them so tiny for 15mm, it’ll be probably hard to make them.
awesome stuff thankyou
Excellent video, thanks
It takes a lot of work but the end result is awesome. I just can’t imagine making these in any table-covering quantities.
For the lazy ones

Great work Lloyd, I’m gonna have a go at making some but I can’t believed you washed the soap off a Brillo pad! Just buy some wire wool from a DIY shop next time. It’s really cheap and free from pink soap!
Lloyd, I ended up using some dried Spanish Moss that I got at the dollar store. I think it might have worked out even better than the cleaning pad:
