hey guys, I just picked up the citadel woods kit. Instead of using the flat plastic leaves that come with it i was thinking of using clump foliage flock or possibly combining the two. has anyone tried this or have suggestions?

I used to have trees like that, with the coloured lichen you can get from model train companies. It looked amazing.

Try it out!

alright, that's what i was thinking, to give them some volume. I'm just not sold on those flat plastic leaves that the kit comes with.

'Woodland Scenics' tree kits come with plastic trunks/branches and lichen foliage.
There are loads of 'How to...' type articles on the web.
Here is the first one that I found and I seems pretty good
