This is a bit of an imperfect presentation because of the uncorrected lighting - however, you could get a sense of what things could look like using different colors in for the highlights.

In a previous entry I mentioned that I had purchased three sets of these at HMGS cons. These unpainted versions come in a nice dark green plastic. I didn't wash or prime any of these but I will seal them once the weather warms up. Over all three sets I drybrushed Apple Barrel's Green Leaf.
|
|
The first set I mixed in some white to the Leaf Green, followed by another layer with even more white.

These shots have already appeared in an earlier post. |

For the lower set here I added in a pure cadmium yellow a pair of times instead of white - more in line with how MFC's pre-painted bushes come.
|
|
For the third set (foreground), I added in a light tan a pair of times and honestly it looks lighter than the white did! If I have a tendency that persists to varying degrees is I get scared of highlighting too brightly leaving models tidy, but sometimes too flat. I'm better than I used to be but I probably should do another layer of whiter highlights on the first set (rear) - but I won't.

The yellow is pretty clearly a standout and is quite warm.
|
|
In this light - I honestly am not sure if this is the tan set or the white set! I think it's the former.

Monstrous werewolf for scale - that's a Cigar Box "Just Fields" battle mat under it all.

Here's the two cooler toned sets in play
|
|
And here are all three sets with the yellow one easily discernible at right. I'm not sold on these acting as hedgerows - more as random scatter or for small enclosure.

I also have a small set of unpainted fallen trees from Monster Fight Club and I bought more of their rocky terrain pieces - both of which will feature in the coming months.
