I had another Charlie Foxtrot building (boulangerie) build so I spray textured it and eventually primed it grey.
I also glued some twigs collected during evening walks with the family to some MDF I trimmed down several weeks ago.
These stocks have busted tips and will be used as a shell burst copse of dead trees for WWI.
I had some other twigs with flat cut edges which were glued onto the MDF. I shaped two pieces of Pink insulation and popped them on top. They will be the bulk of the foliage.
The pink insulation was painted green using craft paint and will be covered with lichen and clump foliage.
I drilled into the bottom of the styrofoam so the “tree trunks” insert into it. It is fairly sturdy.
I made two pieces. I have another 7 MDF bases to fill. All in all it was a quick project. It cost me next to nothing as the sticks I picked from the forest. The insulation was blowing down my street two years ago from a nearby job site. The MDF was a protective floor covering the I needed 2 years ago when I remodeled the kitchen.
