Ah, the Green Stuff World has quality stuff.
I was hoping it was a nifty diy tech I could attempt.
But it does look really good ngl.
I do have Green Stuff World leaf punchers and punched out some leaves, but they do not look as good as the ones you have.
Perhaps more testing is still needed on my part.
Spoiler:
I punched out when it was fresh yellow (not dried)
And as they dried they turned brown (in the bottom right tray section)
Thank you for sharing your work, it is eye candy! very clean and crispy work.

Ooh, this one was done quick! It helps that I basecoat my tank hulls all together so I just have to do the rest once the individual tank gets its turn.
This one is painted in my darkest blue mix to match its passengers, my tactical support squads above. I don't quite like this blue mix as much on a vehicle as I did on infantry. It's so intense and thick it ends up looking a bit flat. But I am glad it matches its cargo. I'll try it on a dreadnought later and see if it's a nice middle ground, but otherwise I'll try my other mixes for my future tanks. And today I had nice daylight, so no fridge pic needed! Yay!
On the other hand, I got a small heart attack from my gloss varnish. I don't know what's wrong with it, I shaked it so much but it kept creating this insane texture like sand dunes on the tank. It took many, many layers of my matte varnish to get the tank hull looking decently smooth again...
