@EmpireBuilderDave posted:I have a couple packages of the WS tree armatures. Did you paint them before applying the Noch leaves, and if so what paint did you use? I am thinking I at least need to hit them with a matt finish to take away the plastic look.
Thanks!
Dave:
I have not worked with bare armatures as yet. I will most likely follow the same procedure I used for branches I collected from the back yard except I will paint first. The WS armatures I worked with still had some of 'bushes' glued on. I forgot to mention in the previous post I dusted them with black followed by dark grey. I tried to keep the paint off the green bushes but it actually does not matter that much. I finally dry brushed on some light gray on the lower trunk. There are also some flat dots on the trunk (from mold process). I used an Exacto blade to carve in some scratches. A razor saw may also work.
