Chris,
I have always found that the real thing makes he best imitation.
Don't know where you are so don't know what to recommend to you.
Here we usually use Sage brush limbs and manzanita brush limbs for the
type of modeling your talking about. The sage works best to represent
Cottonwood and some type Oak trees. The Manzanita works well for Oak and
other type trees. The Sage works well in it's natural state the Manzanita
needs a little touch up with paint as it's natural color is a very dark reddish-brown,
unless dead wood is used, which is a typical gray.
All the above information probably does you no good at all but I posted it to give you
a little nudge toward considering using natural elements in your modeling.
Later.
Rick
