How patient are you? If you want oak... find an acorn.... This works! I had an exhibition layout but couldn't get there on the day... my stand-ins were inundated with questions about how I made the logs... they didn't like the answer when I got there... Living trees... it occured to me that when you stand in (broadleaf) woodland a lot of what you see isn't tree but the light coming through the leaves... I tried lambs wool to get the fine effect... but the natural fibres tend to clog together when colouring... then I stumbled on acoustic wadding... the stuff they put in the speakers of PA systems... this is synthetic... you can spray paint it... it doesn't clog without having to be too careful. It sticks to branches of tree skeletons with spray glue. It stays "fluffed out". Don't recall specific makes but they're probably different names her anyway.. have fun...experiment. Don't know how flamable some mixes may be... try a test run and warn us what flares up PLEASE!
