Using Seafoam For Trees
When trimming a pig, everything is used but the “oink”.
When trimming seafoam, everything is used but the root.
Every piece of the seafoam trimmings is useful.
Consider any landscape. There might be some large, stately trees trees More likely there will be small, misshapen trees, bushes, flowering weeds and bushes. Use seafoam trimmingss for these.
And then you might have other armatures. Plastic, wire, wood. Flesh them out with tiny pieces of sea foam.
And of course the seeds start your next crop.
Making The Fine Tree
The process of making fine seafoam trees is straightforward and easy.
The following images take you through the process.
Mount the seafoam branch in something secure like a third hand.
Shape your tree by trimming branches out of the seafoam. Save the trimmings. They can be used to make bushes and to add branches to other armatures.
Note the difference in the two images. One large branch has been removed as well as many smaller branches. This one weed will end up making one medium and several small trees as well as bushes.
Spray paint brown.
Coat with spray glue or a scenic spray. (see how to make and use your own scenic spray here.)
Add flock. You may have to spray, add and dry a few times to get the coverage you want.
A note on flock, fine turf and clump foliage. Commercial products are rather expensive. Why not make your own? Learn how here.
You can stay with the clump foliage or go one step further and add leaves. You have many choices. For example, Look at the many selections available here.
But also you can add a fine turf. And once again, add variety by adding leaves.
If you apply 2mm static grass, the result is a fine looking base that you can use as a base for leaves.
