First Tree Attempt

I've started making terrain/foliage for a diorama I'm working on, and most forest scenes don't look complete without some trees.  So, I decided to man up and give it a try.  I used the Wire Method which can be found on Armorama, and started with a small tree as a test.  I used spackle/wall putty/filler for bark, painted it to resemble white birch, and used Woodland Scenics Clump Foliage, airbrushed lighter green to vary the color.  I probably should have the trunk thicker, but this was just a test. 

Comments/criticism welcome

For scale purposes, next to an unfinished 54mm figure, and a 1/35 soldier:

Thanks for looking, Ian
