Oranges for a further touch of Spain

 

Well, I wouldn't have the faintest what sort of orange tree I made except it's supposed to be an orange tree. In fact, I made four and this has been a daemon I've been meaning to exorcise for six months. So, done!

They conform to an approximately 28mm scale and are made with two products I had not used before - florist wire and coconut fiber. Actually, I also baptized my first hot-glue gun and gave the trunks a coat of liquid latex prior to painting so it was an all round experiment of sorts.

I bought the little oranges from Woodland Scenics (I think) which were about the only ones I could find. I think they are little on the small size - more 20mm oranges but they convey the impression well enough.

These are my first orange trees and in all likelihood my last. After all, how many orange trees does a wargamer really need? I do see an apple orchard somewhere in my future.
