Making a diorama
Chapter 7: Making and adding trees

|
|
Creating realistic trees
takes some artistic effort, but with a little bit of practice you
can get your trees to look great. If you are using found materials
then you will have to experiment until you get the trees to look
realistic. For this tutorial I have purchased a ready made kit that
has all the materials needed (except the glue).

This
is the ready to go tree kit I purchased from a hobby shop. It has
the materials needed to build seven trees including the trunks, the
bases and the foliage. A kit like this makes great looking trees.

In
order to make realistic trees with the kit you have to have a fast
setting glue with really good gripping power. I have selected a glue
called Hob-e-Tac©. I suggest you also use this. |

 |
I
have also found a common houseglue that works well for this. This
glue is advertised as being good for porcelain, ceramic and many types
of materials. |
