I’ve been looking for the little red apples at my local hobby shops but struck out. I’m making some orcahreds and trees and I used rubberized horse hair for my hedges but they need to be re flocked and some work done on them, do you under coat the horsehair before you flock ? I’m trying to get my whole terrain set up to match and look just right for a game I’m putting on in may of chain of command for a convention. Any tips would be great !

He describes entering a Russian village which had all wooden building except for one brick building which he believes was a school. Something to think about. Certainly given me some ideas for my 20mm Eastern Front!
