Making a diorama
Chapter 6 Flora and Fauna

Now you can apply some thicker brush and some weeds around the rock.
   

apply the large clumps of brush with a heavy glue. Wood glue or elmers glue works well for this. Spray it down with your bottle of scenic cement to keep it in place.

You apply the weeds by grasping a bundle of them and cutting one end flat, then apply a large blob of glue to this cut end and hold it on the scene.

   
Grasp the bundle of weeds, cut one end flat and apply a blob of glue to it.
   
Hold it on the diorama long enough for the tack of the glue to hold it upright
   
The weeds add a great detail. Particulary around the rocks.
   

You can place weeds and rough shrubs anywhere on the diorama that they make sense. Have some fun with this. Now we are ready to make some trees.

Continue on to chapter 7. ...
