Subject: Here is my tutorial of Trees making from Paint Forge
Steel wire (can be copper as well) was cut in pieces about 1/3 longer than tree should be and than I start to twist the bundle.
Ready twisted trees - I made 3 pieces.
For bases I used 1mm HIPS
Easiest way to use hot glue - it glues quickly and hold good.
Time to make branches.
I used water with White Glue and paper towels
Paper towel was tear in stipes and wrapped branches. After that I put watered glue.
HINT - one branch --> glue, another branch --> glue
Each tree was wrapped different amount of branches to see how they will look at the end because it's bit time consuming.
Painted in black using Vallejo Black Primer with airbrush.
Next some browns and greys
As finish some drybrush with two shades of grey.
Time for some green.
From Woodland Scenics I have to colours of Clump Foliage - Medium i Light Green
For glueing very good choice is glue from Woodland Hob-e-Tac. First I put him and than wait 15 minutes after he was clear and tacky - that is his main difference compared to other glues.
And here are finished trees
As you can see no big difference between trees so in case of using this kind of foliage there is no big need of making branches so ideal.
In next article I'll show how to make trees from Woodland Scenics KITs
