Title: Large scale Tree
Post by: Random on December 23, 2016, 10:19:42 AM
I've put too much work into this to not share it.  Its way outside my normal modeling area but has presented interesting challenges. 

I present to you, a 1:12 scale young maple tree.  (HO figure for scale.  See the red arrow.)

(https://modelersforum.com/gallery/622-231216101439.jpeg)


The trunk is carved balsa textured with a stiff wire brush.  The branches are natural dried material from Michaels.  The leaves are paper cut with one of those crafting cutter machines and were provided by the client.  Each leaf is attached with canopy glue.

The figure is standing on a leaf.

Gluing individual leaves onto a tree?  ???   :o  Wow!  It looks great though.  Thanks for sharing the picture.
