Sorry for all the pics. But i am rather happy with how this is going. Final bush placement sorted out. Some of the bushes i made up either i didn't like or they didn't fit the space available. So i've had to yet find 'more' bushes that will fit in with the dio. These are the ones without leaves so should be easy to spot lol.
But all in all the last two pics kind of show the overgrown, shady type of place these brave soldiers had to fight in. I like to think i've in some way captured the essence of it.
Once these are made up then it's the two big trees to do. Still no idea what colour to paint the bark. Brown just seems too boring.

Looking fantastic Alan. That will really set off any vehicle you use!
Really nice Alan, I'm expecting to see a bird land on a branch any second.
And so you should be. You have really captured the Bocage. As Tim says your vehicle will fit well.
Jim
Excellent work Al, you have every right to be happy!!!!

Well the second tree (made from heather stems) i am trying to make hasn't really worked out like i'd hoped for. Even though the branches were tightly packed they just didn't hold the foliage scatter right and just looked like leaves stuck to branches rather than floating a little like a true tree canopy. So after a little pruning i have this as a starting basis.
Then i had to sort out my remaining seafoam and remove all those $%^&**# tiny leaves.
And this is some of the 'dross' that was un-usable supplied by War World Scenics (WWS). Some of the long straggly stems are shrivelled up, and must have been nearly dead when preserved. A shame really because most of the other bits were of a decent size and quality (although a lot of small broken bits in the box).

That is bad Alan, have you thought about complaining?
