6mm and Small Scale Forests For Sale from TerrainShed


When a gamer looks down on the wargaming table, it's a bit like the view from a medium level bomber. The trees seem to join together in one continuous forest canopy. Local colour variations of individual trees blend together.



Resilient dense tree canopy style woods and forests that can prevent close inspection by opponents.


'Tree trunks' provide headroom for miniatures, so they aren't disturbed when
the foliage is lifted and can be adjusted for when the forest is on a hillside (in photos of my earlier games,  the original stick supports were used. The new ones are better!)


The supports are always held firm with no wear and tear on the foliage.

No more turrets displaced or picking your way through individual trees!

Can be placed on slopes, unlike individual tree type forests or forest canopies with rigid bases.


Looks good close up or from the usual long distance gamer's view.

(pictures above are from my own gaming collection with custom shapes)

The four shape designs using Spring, Summer & Autumn foliages
Each set is cut from a standard 7" x 7" (18cm x 18cm) section of tree canopy material and is available as per the TerrainShed website.
In any case, other sizes and shapes can be made by order including 4" hex or regulation DBA sizes. 







There are four Spring/Summer foliage styles available off the shelf... 
  • Oak
  • Birch
  • Evergreen
  • Winter scene
  • Cherry Blossom
...two Autumnal...
  • Early Autumn
  • Late Autumn
...and three Winter styles:
  • Winter (just a few leaves)
  • Frosty
  • Snowy

Other foliage types being worked on include Apple Blossom and Copper Beech but any can be made to order.

Each forest set comes complete with:
  • bark coloured tree trunk supports for each corner and sides of the forest canopy, plus a few spares
  • mottled felt 'footprint'
  • instructions & useful tips
  • sturdy storage box
Feel free to contact me with any purchases, queries, special size requirements or custom foliage jobs, either through this blog, at les@terrainshed.co.uk or on TerrainShed Wargaming on Facebook.

Forests Kickstarter has gone live!

I'd already advertised the two sets of forest tree canopies I'd made as a test on eBay just to see what the interest was.

Nothing, not a bid nor a watch.

After 6mil Phil's bocage hedges did so well on Kickstarter and after much encouragement/nagging by Robert of 2D6 Wargaming, I was convinced me that KS could not only raise the funds for my initial bulk purchases but be a means of advertising for the products as well.

So there it is, live now and 35% funded as we speak.


I posted links up to all the Facebook groups I could find, Robert did a short review of the two (unsold!) sets and I upgraded my Wargaming Website Forum subscription to 'trader' (only £5 for the first 3 months, then the same per calendar month thereafter) so that I could advertise. I will do a promotional video of my own to follow (it was all a bit sudden, I thought the KS would take a few days to get approval but as I had the option of activating it straight away, I thought it was now or...in 3 days time!). At least the trickle of promotional gubbins might keep my project 'bumped' on the web.

Here's hoping!
