Bret those are truly exceptional... I'm working on a 1:29 G scale model train layout with my father-in-lawand I wish I could harness your talents! Awesome eye and attention to detail...

If you need/want dead leaves like those on the Pak 40 base, find some birch trees and gather some of the seed clusters (catkins). Seperate the seeds from the leaf thingies and discard them. The bigger the tree the bigger the "leaves" you get. The smaller ones came from a 4-5" trunked tree, the larger ones came from a 14 -15" trunked tree. (1/35 figure for scale)

Great idea... appreciated! Will take a trip to the mountains here in Southern AZ to find birch but well worth it.

Besides the birch seeds, you can use tree roots as trees, very small gravel can be found on the road side. Twigs can be used to make log fortifications.
I assume you want this for wargaming?
