I've been making really good progress on my half completed mounted stuff. The mojo has been with me and I've been able to spend a few hours, every night, finishing these pieces off.
Here's the latest. The figures are Old Glory and were purchased at an Historicon flea market in 2001, or so. No idea from who?
The tree was from a set of a dozen wire armatures that I bought off Ebay. The trunk of the armature was covered with some sort of coating and painted white. I decided that I wanted a nice, full, yellow tree. So, I removed some branches from a yellow*
SuperTree that I had previously made and began supergluing them to the individual wires.
What a colossal pain in the ***!!
It took me more hours than I care to admit to make this one tree. I hope that it looks like it was worth it!
I finished off two more smaller pieces and will get pix up later this week.*
I'm going to make more of the type trees. The mistakes I made making this one will help me with the remain 11 armatures.
I like the way this turned out and I can imagine a what several
grouped together would look like. I've got some good ideas
