Im taking on a new commission from my cousin and he want something different than my usual basing .
Ok hmm... whats natural? and how do i make leaf o_o? Does pebbles and leaves go together? or leaves only fall on muddy ground?

Pebbles and leaves are fine together, you can make them from gum wrapper foil or aluminum foil, just cut them to desired size and shape.

That sounds like alot of work to base a whole army ><

like fall leaves?

go to the dollar store and pick up a bottle of Oregano leaves.. the bottle I have looks like little leaves and sticks.. perfect looking ground cover... make sure you prime them though, as they well go brown and crumble away if you don't prime and seal them. Actually, you might be able to just get away with sealing well.. but I don't really know - Haven't tried it yet.

There is also a company that sells something that looks exactly like leaves. Les did a review on the product on awesomepaintjob.com I can't remember what it's called.

Sounds promising !
i'll try to find it , thanks!

not really...well maybe. I guess I'm not much help.

Colored beech seeds are the best looking model leaves.

Someone recently posted a video review with some in it. I will look for it and post the vid if I can find it.


Or you can try this sight, they have nice selection of leaves:

It's easier (and what I did) to get some birch seed pods and break them open, then let them dry out. The little seeds look just like leaves but tiny.

If you have birch in your region...

I bought 2 bags off that site, looked great and perfect size unfortunately I never used them. If you'd be interested in buying them let me know.

The leaves from that site are really nice , i seen them in person and was pleased .
