Hudson & Allen Leaves

[BESPJL]

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone can point me to a shop from where I can order Hudson & Allen leaves. I prefer an european shop but....

If there is any other brand of leaves for 54mm, let me know.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Paulo

Don't know of a European source, but they can be ordered through Michigan Toy Soldier.
They also carry the Nimix-Kenox brand.

F & F Models (http://freespace.virgin.net/john.burrows3/index1.htm) from the UK stock some Hudson & Allen stuff although I get mine from Military Miniatures Warehouse in USA (www.milminwh.com) who offer a very good service.

I will be stocking these type of leaves in my eBay shop shortly. At present I'm still sorting the leaves from the seeds, then I'll need to get them bagged up.
Just out of curiosity, I was playing about with different colored inks for dyeing them, or would people just prefer to do this them selves?

 

[BESPJL]

Thanks for the replies.

Is't possible to have them both ways?
And can I buy them directly from you?

Cheers,

Hi Paulo
Sure, I was thinking of doing; brown(un-dyed), green, and maybe an 'autumn mix (oranges/yellows/purple). Any other suggestions?

I should have the first batch in my "store" in about 7-10 days (fingers crossed)

you can always PM or email me

Cheers
Mick

Greetings Paulo,
What type of ink would you use to dye leaves and what process?
Regards,
John

Hi John
I experimented with some Ork Flesh Wash(GW) I had for the green, and for the few purple ones I did I used some W & N inks
I just put the one to be green in a jar with the ink, took them out after a while, then left them to dry on some paper towel.
For the purple ones, I just mixed a small amount of ink in a container, then added leaves till all the ink was absorbed, shook them about for a bit to mix 'em up. then left the lid off so they dried. Can't remember what tree it was, but the color I ended up with was pretty close to the real thing

Once more I would like to thank you for all the replies.

Marcus,
Thank you for the address but I can't find leaves in the Guinea site.

In the meantime I'm going to try the mixes from Mick.

John,
This will be my first time with leaves so I can tell you much, but I saw that Mick came with the answer to your question (it helped me a lot too).

Cheers,
Paulo

Hadnt Hudson and Allen these precut paper leaves as well?

Also I think this upcoming product from Plus Models is interesting.

Click me and then on the three differnt typs of leaves in the list

Im curious how much at what price your gettin`?

Cheers

 

[BESPJL]

The leaves from Plus Model are verey attractive but it seems that only sell for amounts superior to 200 EUR. Is this correct?

Cheers,
Paulo

It must be only for retail from the Plus Models site, Paulo.

Ive talked yesterday to my local importer and he told the me price he was going to charge were about 3 euro. Thats pretty fair if you get the amount thats in the pictures.

Cheers

Hi Guys,
I've started a thread in the Market, which seemed a more suitable place

cheers
