"Forrest find"

[Bagge]

Ok i made some step by step pics of how i make the pine trees.
I will make a thread in the sprue university (or what the name was )

I placed a couple of trees already

Made some drybrushing on the trees with a lighter green/yellow after the pics were taken.

Greetings

Thanks
It's trial and error most of the time but you learn new things so thats good
One thing i learned was not to put to much fibres in, the trees looked more like bushes if it was to much branches.

Great!

Trees are growing added some dead birch trees too (not easy to see them in the pic though)

Will be some smaller birch trees with leaves too, then i think it is ok.

This is exactly the kind of build I was hoping for when the campaign was hatched. Looking very good, Mats!

An original to be sure! Model materials are everywhere!

Being sick the last couple of days and also having sick kids at home so not much donne.
Atleast started a big cleanup of the hobbyroom yesterday, and also some work on the birch trees, made my own leaf punch because the ones you can buy i find is a little bit too big for this scale.

The leaves are ca 1mm so 35mm in real and thats good for a young birchtree

greetings Mats

Nice tool!

 

[Heavens Eagle]

Interesting Mats! Like the tool and am looking forward to seeing how the birch tree turns out.

Some painting donne on one of the birch trees, used seafoam as a base for the tree, painted red/brown and some different brown colours.
