Pinetrees drying and ready for base primer and flocking

 Getting there.

Pining for the trees WIP

 Picked up a joblot of tufts last week and in it was a big bag of H0 scale pine trees. Use it or lose it, so started basing them up this weekend.

Will work fine as young ones for STALKER and regular pines for 15-20mm. And yes, my dinnertable is a right mess atm.

Pain is finally receding again though my skin is still FUBAR, but at least I have an interest in doing stuff again instead lying in bed doped up. Jay. 

Look at me! I'm a tree!

Thx to this excellent tutorial that I can just keep looking at over I've made my first tree using the 0.6mm floral wire that I bought. My fingers hurt a bit, it took me a good 2 hours to get this far but with practice I can get that down I think. Well, it's a start.

It's not a huge tree by any means, and it won't be a winter tree but a barren desert tree, and may or may not get some greenery on it. I'll make a couple more so I get the hang of building them. I'll ask Evin to lasercut me some irregular bases for them, as I put this one on a round base and it just screamed "Warhammer!" at me and that's not the plan. When I have the bases, and a few trees, I can epoxy them on the bases and start coating them with woodglue to hide the wire.  I'll use the cut offs to make some shrubs I think.

Plenty of ideas and directions I can go in, tree wise.

Walls didn't happen today. Cleaning is almost done but I thought, to hell with it, and grabbed the box of wire and got cracking. Hey, I actually did something hobby wise, that counts! :D
