If You Go Down To The Woods...

Not the most exciting of posts, but I made up a few small 2mm woods/copses for Land Ironclads that will also work for Aeronef and other air combat games.


Simple job, hacked up a couple of old CD's. glued some sand around the edges and painted that and then wood glued a mixed selection of Woodland Scenics foam bushes (mainly light green but also some olive and odd dark which I picked up off eBay for 99p).


Overall the effect is very pleasing and works well enough for small woods you get over the farmland of northern France and southern Belgium.

  9. I did a version of this where the middle lifts out to allow for troops to be based in rather than on the wood!
