Making berry bushes

 After chilling in my garden the other day, I had the thought that most any wargame terrain overlooks the details like fruit on trees or berry bushes. So to rectify this in my own WIP farmland/forest scatter, I made some berry bushes!


Super simple process- get a ragged old brush and a color to represent whatever berries you want. I did red because we have a lovely raspberry bush on the lot where my garden is that has been there since my great grandma was a kid- and raspberries are fucking delicious, so I want my toy soldiers to enjoy them as well!

Then with your paint in hand and bushes waiting, just lightly stipple some of the paint onto the bushes. the ragged brush and the uneven texture of the flocking will make sure only little points of paint stick, making some nice lil berries :)


Hope this was helpful and helps add some color and variety to your terrain!
