Miniature Trees

Vegetation is a fundamental element in the world of modeling and scale models to give realism to projects. These hobby skinny trees are made of branches and sparse bushes, allowing you to use them to obtain a more natural effect or to achieve other aspects by customizing them using various techniques:

    Adding paint. Paint the leaves and branches with acrylic paints. This allows the creation of tones and textures that mimic the variety of colors present in nature, applying layers of colors and shades. You can also use more striking colors to create a dystopian reality, it all depends on the purpose of your project.
    Texturing the trunk. To imitate the bark, you can texturize the trunk. One way to achieve this is to apply a mixture of fine sand and paint to the branches and trunks, giving them a rough texture. Another option is to use textured paste directly.
    Adding vegetation or flocking: Another way to customize this product is to add more vegetation, such as miniature leaves or static grass in the color of your choice using any of our static grass applicator.
    Sealing and protection. It is highly recommended to apply a transparent sealer or varnish with an airbrush, a mat spray varnish or even some lacquer in case you do not have the previous elements; in order to protect the elements that you have added and fix, at the same time, the seeds of the branches. This way they will not fall over time and the finish will be more durable.
