Nice work on the roots - really organic.

According to cannon weirwood have smooth bark, probably like beech trees, but I figured "fuck it, I want it to look interesting".

This is probably my last update before I submit my entry (...to myself).




I have dipped all wire branches into a dark licorice emulsion wall paint- The wall paint helps concealing the branches from the twisted mess of wire that they are. The wall paint dries thick but slightly elastic. I have mounted them on the main wood branches, which will remain detachable for a while yet to simplify airbrushing.





I have ordered two leaf punches from Green Stuff World. The first one produced leaves which were suitable for 1/48 according to specs but were too small for my taste. I will punch leaves using both.

Punching paper from one color paper will not do. I will try sourcing paper of a couple of nuance and perhaps sweep them with an airbrush for some further differences in color. I am a bit in two minds if they should be matte or glossy.

Very fine  8)

Matt leaves I think, glossy wouldn't look right at such a small scale.
cheers

For the leaves I'd suggest using the paper from coffee filters! Crinkly and with texture, and if desired able to be painted.

Project looks cool though!  :o

Thanks! I will consider that. I sounds like they would be suitable for wizened leaves, I am going for a healthy tree here.
