Yesterday I have tried to build a deciduous tree! And here is the result!
First stepp I have selected a dry perch of our apple tree and small dry perches from an anknown flower bush from my wife (with prior agreement of herself
)
The other materials are HEKI Natural bushes, water based glue (water resistent after drying), an assortement of small drillers and a knife.
Second step was to drill holes in the bole and the perches.
Next step was to apply parts of HEKI bushes into the drilled holes. I have glued them together with the water based glue.
Next thing was to apply the ready made perches into the holes on the bole.
The tree was finished with any more of the HEKI bushes, to give the tree an natural appearance.
The photos below are in correct order!
I know, this technique is not best way to apply trees on a complete West Virginian layout, but for special scenes it will be great! This tree will be applied to the new sawmill scene.
