With the Border Reiver show moving from its September date to March next year, I've put the Punic War battle on hold as I will not have enough time to get everything done for a display game. So I've decided to go with The Baron's War. Most of the figures are already done as well as most of the buildings and fences etc. One thing I am short of is some trees. I probably only need a dozen or so, but the ones we have at the club are showing their age. So Thom has printed off a tree from a 'haunted woods' range. He can also resize them so they are not all uniform in height. He gave me a test model to try out before he prints anymore.

I set to work with some rubberised horsehair, attaching it to the branches to try and get a basic 'tree' shape. Once dried I gave the whole model a chocolate brown undercoat. Now I'll leave it to dry and continue tomorrow. I think I'll give the model a grey then cream dry-brush before adding the flock to the horsehair.
So far so good. I should bet the model finished tomorrow and then start basing it.
