This leaf punch is incredibly useful, the “Grey” model I purchased, I believe is the most versatile of the lot,it makes the best assortment of autumnal leaves for my 28mm miniature bases. It adds so much to them and adds very distinctive and beautiful colours (depending on what autumn leaves I have saved and dried in my toolbox of model tricks) * note, I use proper dried leaves for my punch as it gives a really good colour variation and looks very authentic. The stamp itself is very simple and sturdy and I don't see it causing any problems for many years.
