Awsome! That is way better than anything I would be able to make.
How do you make those sand bags? I have always wondered how to do that...

As soon as I have time for it, I will post more details to how I make my forests. For now: Gen. Slade: Sand bags bought at a hobby store. Plastics kits of tanks, warplane etc...TAMYA sells small kits of all sorts...One with enough sandbags to make two of these. For approx 5$ US. 6 or 7 CDN $. @machine gun kelly: Rocks: Few years ago, bought myself WOODLAND SCENICS molds of rocks. I use plaster of paris. It's done in 5 minutes. Unmold and let harden for a day...But you could use the Pink styrofoam for house insulation, carv any size of rock in it then sand paper it to the shape you want... |

What were those molds made from? were they made from silicone or plaster or what? I am interested in makeing moulds, because I am working on a new miniatures game right now that is based in the 1800's.

These are great. I love that first picture: It makes me feel like I'm actually in that forest.
A tutorial would be excellent. I've been looking to expand my terrain collection.

are those leaves on the trees from a model train line? not sure about the sizes if they'll fit 25mm scale, they just looked familiar.

Trees: Leaves: I'm lucky, at work I came across a packaging material for army stuff. It looks like tangled branches...When glued to my home made tree trunks I lightly spray them with light gray (Tremclad primer) and some olive drab. Then when dry, I spray those tangled branches with spray glue you find in hardware stores. As soon as I put hte can aside, I simply throw STATIC GRASS on them. Looks like Pine trees...Anyway that's my method! (When I make another one of these, I will make a tutorial where all the material used will be taken in pictures too.)    |

The first few shots I saw of your forests almost looked lifelike. Your terrain is unbelievably good! Awesome work!
