Hey guys, I am trying to find something and I am not sure if anyone has actually made it. I am looking for something Like GW's - Citadel Wood, but I was one big tree instead of 3 smaller ones/ The tree also has to have a face on it... something like the Angry Orchard's label.

Does anyone know of a company who makes this, or a custom artist who has done something like this before?

Also looking for something with multiple trees and maybe some tree houses.

I am running a Wood Elves army now and need to themed terrain so throw something cool at me if you guys can think of anything!

Thanks!

Have a look for fake bonsai trees on ebay or similar, some of those look pretty good and are a much better size for tree houses and have a similar gnarled style to the GW trees if you like those too. The prices are comparable to a GW wood set.
Spare GW leaves are easy to find if you want to replace the bonsai leaves as many people prefer them bare.

Sculpting/carving a face on to one of those would be easy enough for yourself or a sculptor.

Good advice, I actually looked at osme on Walmarts webiste and they are farrrr from cheap. For a decent fake looking bonsai we are talking 60-75 bucks! I wouldnt care to pay that much if i didnt have to do any work to it.. (unless of course it needed paitning, i dont mind doing that)

Well i dont know where you could buy something like that but i know a good method to build a tree:
take wire and shape it into a treeshape as thick and as big as you would like to have it. on the bottom you model rootage and on the top some branches. after that you take plaster and puts it all around the "wiretree" this will make it look very realistic.
now just paint it and maybe model your facey thingy on it and youre done

sorry for bad english

...and add a face from some spare bitz whilst you make it?

...though I can't recall ever scuplting bark with clay. Tissue paper and PVA wrap did fine.

There's also mangrove roots, either real of fake from aquarium stores, these things can be pretty huge (think Skullvane Manse sized).
They would be a good place to start with for an ewok village type of setup.
Obviously they would only be the bottom 1/5th of the tree but would give the impression of really giant trees.

Thats a cool idea! can add some stuff to that to make it look like an elvish fortress/building or something.
