Palm Trees

There is an old wargames adage something along the lines of "you can never have too many trees" and I think that includes palm trees.

Bases from Charlie Foxtrot Models here.  Small Tree Bases 1, 2, 3 and 4.  My new hot glue gun (£7 from Hobbycraft) was perfect for sticking the trees to the MDF discs.

The trees were sourced via eBay and cost very little, less than £10 incl P&P for this lot.  In the fullness of time I intend to repaint the trees (inspired by Lardy Rich's splendid jungle terrain), but they'll do fine for now.

The bases were simply covered in a variety of grit and stones then primed with a light brown spray.  Basecoat is Americana Country Maple, followed by highlights of Americana Tan, VMC Dark Sand then Foundry Boneyard light.  Garnish with some clump foliage and a few tufts to round it off.
