Haha that wasn't my intention, but now you mention it...
I broke a few bamboo sticks (this is how I obtained this "broken tree" aspect), and recovered the stick with Plastiroc (hardening putty) for an irregular form of the trunk. When it was dry, I just painted the broken part like dead wood, the trunk in white (with yellowish parts), then I added a few dark brown stripes with a fine brush.
It tooks a little time with the applying of the plastiroc it was pretty easy. I could do a little tutorial with pictures next time I make some. But now I've got to figure out how to make entire trees, with branches and leaves !
Thanks Yemi - useful stuff, and certainly something I might try myself.
Thanks for your kind comments !
