Can you ever have too many trees?

Some time ago I bought some tres form Temu, hoping they would be suitable for use with 15mm figures. They are, although they come without bases.


I bought some galv washers from a hardware store, and based the trees. This is the end result.



The 'foliage' on the trees tends to fall off with handling, so I sprayed the trees with a scenic cement. For the next batch though, I will spray them before I start the basing process. 

I also made a classic 'rookie' error, and miscounted the number of washers I need, so another trip to the hardware store is in order to buy another two dozen washers. 

In case you want to buy some of the trees yourself, here is the product detail:


And.. oh yes, they are indeed sized to work well with 15mm figures.

A medieval camp element for DBA

Latest project off the painting table is a generic 'camp' for the 15mm DBA armies. The tent and well are from the Essex range. I can't recall the origins of the other figures, acquired as they were quite a few years ago (although I think the dog might be from the Irregular range). The barrels were 3D printed form an original file created by Andy. The camp is based on two 40x40mm bases, inspired by Keith's good work.
