@@Nat1videos Lots of uses, tree trunks and limbs, use a fork to make bark lines. Use it for basing material. It is hard as a rock, mixes with water, add some PVA glue for extra adhesion. Caution though, too much liquid and it may warp MDF or poster board. FYI, I think that Kraut Glue is just PVA mixed with water, model railroaders use that a lot.

Really enjoyed the video. You manage to do a good job of being both instructive and entertaining. Would love more footage of you walk through the Forest of Dean. Some very interesting terrain there. Definitely an inspiring journey. I felt for you when you mentioned the broken knife. Good tools can be hard to find, and are sometime even harder to replace if that style, or manufacturer, no longer exists. Interesting tree making methods. I don't think I have either seen either of them before. I liked the final results. My only complaint would be that I feel the terrain was a bit too rocky, and the trees are too short for Mirkwood as described in the books. I would have gone for smaller rocky outcrops, and taller trees, but that is just me. All in all well done, and worth the time watching.
