Cant see the wood for the trees
Stage 4 canopy/foliage
Having looked around the various options to flesh out the tree frame work I was left wondering how some people view the world around them, lots of commercial bought trees are very stylised abstract types of trees and are not really very accurate to the real thing. This does have advantages to wargamers as these type of trees appear to be very durable so less likely to break during use. I in the end sort a happy medium between the two topics of durability and realism opting for a poly fibre base to start then fine foam foliage to bring out the leaf cover later.
But first i needed to colour the frame and stick on the poly fibre. Good old PVA and some cheap artist acrylic did the job. Paint sprayed on using my trusty airbrush.

Loving all the detailed breakdown on this!
