I wanted to make some slender foliage pieces that could serve as tree lines for dividing land parcels or more hedgerows (as I need a lot more of these). Here's what I've come up with in relatively short order:
These were made by cutting pieces of Sintra and simply PVAing sand to them, painting with a brown basecoat, and drybrushing with Hippo Gray. It was a Woodland Scenics and hot glue gun from there. I sprayed them down really good with WS scenic cement as well.
I also decided to add to the few WW2 ruin pieces:
I absolutely love the Dave Graffam kits. Some of these pieces are made from one of his small ruin kits, but a few I custom made from another of his kits. The nice thing about his stuff is if you have the time and patience, they are extremely affordable, require little painting (none if you're not picky like me), obviously very light-weight, and most are customizable, so the possibilities for what you can create with a single kit are very broad.
More ruin pieces I made with Sintra bases, light talus and sand, craft sticks, and small bricks I made out of scrap pieces of foam-core:
In a previous post I mentioned I had no intention of painting any this summer, but I got my hands on a box of Bolt Action plastic U.S. Rangers and decide to tinker a little. I think these 29th I.D. troops will fit in nicely with the 101st and 2nd Rangers I already have:

Everything is very well done! I also have used Dave Graffam's paper building kits so I'll have to remember these in the future.

Excellent. I made a whole lot of bocage last year, only to find it wasn't nearly enough. When I get back into Crossfire I will need to make up some rubble and ruins like yours. I would probably place then on a piece of felt which represented the area and use the model for effect. Alternatively I could just make a 2D model I guess.
