After many attempts, I have finally made what I
consider a proper historical tree. It looks good, and it is
NOT a teeny bush. The main trunk is from Forgeworld but is
sadly no longer available. The branches are plastic railroad
tree sprues (plastic with metal wire inside so can pose) with bits
of green sponge (available from railroad hobby stories for the
purpose of building trees). The plastic trunks were glued to
the main trunk, pinned, and the joint was blended together with
sculpted green stuff. The trunkds were added AFTER the leaves
were glued on. And yes, those two itty bitty artillery pieces are
25mm scale figures on 60mm x 60mm bases (artillery from Old Glory
with lots of scratchbuilt bits, crew from Old Glory, Corvus, and
Essex). |
