making leaves???

Take dry leaves and put em through a shredder. Should look fine and its really cheap.

thanks i'll try it, i was just curious so many people look at every detail so i thought a punch to give the true outline shape may be out there...

Gary

good call on Catkin seeds, looked them up now just need to find them... anyway i think i will try making a punch set on my milling machine if it works you will be the first to know,

once again, thanks

Gary

Hey Petr, I was wondering if you could find a tutorial from this guy for painting faces. He's really good.

   This makes working an eye splice into fly tying thread seem far less insane!....even in 1/130 scale! Geez! and I thought persuing the 1/87th scale willow tree was an impossible dream!

Well, it can, and it can't...That's fascinating work on the leaves, but I can't tell from the pics what he's using or how he's doing it. Is he using tea leaves, or is this some modelling product?

Thanks so much for the help, his work is amazing. the craft store punches are nice but in 1/35 scale they are just too big. i think for now the tea leaves and catkin seeds may have to work, i think i may make a punch similar to the ones used for bolt heads on mmy milling machine. i appreciate all of the research from you guys..

the links to the other page is great for now the methods he uses will have to be done with the available products, i will post if i get some punches made.

Thanks again,

Gary

Hey Gary,

If you've got a Hobby Lobby or Michael's close by, check out their "dried naturals" section in the floral dpt. Some alternatives there as well. I've loaded up on some of their stuff.

Hope you like it

best wishes

Johan

(just kidding of course--looks great!)

Gotta say though, your diorama output must be PAINFULLY slow at this rate?!
