Create a Sea Foam tree

CREATE A MODEL TREE WITH SEA FOAM
The trunk is made from twisted
wire. Start with many gathered
lengths and work up the tree,
creating branches by gathering
sections of the trunk wire.
You can always add extra wire
to create more branches.
Once you are happy with the
shape of the tree, coat the
trunk and branches with
hot glue.
You can then top the glue with
filler and scratch in trunk detail
once it has dried.
After painting the tree, pieces
of Sea Foam (Forest in a Box)
can be attached using
superglue.
The sea foam creates very the
smaller branches of the tree.
You can then apply the foliage
using texture applied using a
PVA glue.
Here we have used a mid
green colour.
