A blog about designing, creating, and painting wooden model soldiers for wargaming. These models are sometimes known as "craftees". To me, they are wooden warriors.

Trees
Finally got around to painting the trees I bought at Michael's a while ago. Nothing fancy, but I did base them. Even though each tree has its own built in base piece, I glued each one to a thin round precut 2" piece that comes in a bag of different sized circles. Especially if I am going to use these in wargaming, I think I need more stability than the built in base provides.
