Thanks for the comments. The foam and "...Luis,<br /><br />Thanks for the comments. The foam and "fine leaf foliage" are attached to the armature with Tacky Glue...essentially a somewhat tack-ier white glue. Got it at Michaels. This glue takes about a day to dry, and is good at holding the Woodland Scenics stuff in place. <br /><br />In the past I've misted these sorts of trees with watered down white glue to hold all the fine bits in place better. This time around I just sprayed a clear flat over everything and called it a day. Essentially, these sorts of tree models will shed little bits of foam every time you use them...but they are so bulked out, that you can go for years of pretty regular use and they don't look much the worse for wear. Of course, you can always go back at a later time and glue in some more foliage if they start getting threadbare...but I haven't had to do that yet with models that are a couple of years old.Kevin Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247575851789031326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360255146025547786.post-87129812012664284492011-06-06T05:59:16.053-07:002011-06-06T05:59:16.053-07:00They look great.

In the past I bought some "Hobby Tac" but it didn't seem to work to well for me!? <br /><br />Also, how rigid are the finished articles? As in, do they benefit from a clear spray coat of some sort to help stop things falling off? I'm not only looking to replicate this sort of thing for trees, but also think that you could create quite convincing smoke plumes.Luis Nieveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104268520391688183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360255146025547786.post-25025439955047021472011-06-06T02:01:41.497-07:002011-06-06T02:01:41.497-07:00Nice tutorial.
