I don't have a timer on the digital, so can't set up to photo while I'm working, so;
After gathering natural materials, which bear a reasonable facimile to a tree, I added branches to what I had chosen as the basic "trunk". This tree is being built in O scale for the On30 diorama (see G/O/S scale: The On30 Conspiracy, page 4, and 5), it is about 64 scale feet tall, and the trunk is about 10 scale inches in diameter at the base.
The next step is to apply Woodland Scenics Polyfiber. The process here, will be to take small amounts of polyfiber, and expand them, to create the finer branch structure. For a tree of this size, I'm estimating about five hours of work. I'll shoot a couple of pics as this progresses, and one of the completed branches.
Once satisfied with the branch structure, I'll procede with applying leaves.
