Large Endor Tree´s Part 1.

Hello again!

As I said in my last post I am going to try to make some nice terrain for the upcoming Star Wars Legion Miniature game!

I was really inspired by the first Youtube video of the Star Wars Legion miniatures game that was shown from the Gencon 50 convent a few weeks back.

In this post I will try to show you how I made my Large Endor tree´s.

 

I started by first cuting out 5cm x 5cm thick strips of insulation foam.

 

 

Then I cut out 9.5cm across round bases from oil hardened board.

 

 

Then I drilled holes in them for large flower stick to fit.

 

 

Then I cut the foam in 3 pieces and pushed them on to the flower sticks.

 

 

I used wood glue to glue the foam.

 

 

 

 

I cut away as much as I could of the foam, then I used a sander!

 

 

The sanded foam ready for hobby paint.

 

 

The paint is for the next stepp so the foam does not melt from the super glue I used!

 

 

 

 

Then I glued nylon rope to the foam.

 

 

Darth Vader looks on as I work :)

 

 

Then I put on some air drying hobby clay onto the nylon rope.

 

 

After the clay has dried I apply some toilet paper with a 50:50 mix of wood glue and water.

I first brush the tree with the glue mix and then apply the paper, then I apply more onto the paper to

make the paper wrinkled and stick better to the tree.

 

 

The first tree´s after the first wash of woodland scenics: burnt umber 50:50 mix with water.

 

 

 

Hope you all like my lite tutorial so far!

 

 

Best Regards
