HOW TO MAKE TREES AND PALM TREES 28MM (TERRAIN AND SCENERY)

I have been asked several times if I group the trees in forest areas, if they are in individual bases, how I glue them... 

I know there must be a thousand tutorials on this topic, and although it is a very basic and simple tutorial, I am sure that it will help somebody. 

The first thing to do is to search for trees that suit us by price and size on aliexpress. We will look for trees between 7 and 12 centimeters tall, and if possible in different shades of color.

We will buy 25mm diameter metal washers, in a pack they tend to be quite cheap. These washers will add weight to the base of the tree so that it does not fall. (I actually use metal washers as a base for my minis, it gives them weight and stability) In the washer we will glue a 2 cent coin (or similar) with superglue, covering the central hole. The tree will be stuck on that coin.


As the trunk of the tree comes with a rounded base, we will cut it with a sharp knife so that the base is completely flat.

With a hot glue gun we put a small pea of ​​hot glue and glue the tree.




Once finished, we will put the filling putty that we usually use to fill bases.




And it is almost ready, just paint in earth color and decorate as much as you like it with grass, branches, turf or whatever you want.



As you can see, if you catch a good offer of trees on aliexpress you can make a forest that looks good on the table for a ridiculous price.


We will make the palm trees following the same process, only that we will group them two by two or three by three in larger washers (40mm), and we will look for palm trees between 7 and 17 centimeters high. It is easy to find packs that come in different heights, which are the best.



And the truth is that we have a more than decent table with a minimum expense, which we remember is our goal: maximum result at minimum cost...
