How to make scale palm tree.. (by Kerem Özkır)

 

Hello, 

I'm sharing my technique for making palm trees for 1/72 scale dioramas and vignettes. I hope you find it useful. 

Happy modeling, 

Kerem...

At first i painted both sides of standart copy paper with green and brown acrylic paint.

I first cut the painted paper into a rectangle the size of a leaf, then folded the rectangle in half and cut it into a leaf shape. Then I trimmed the ends with scissors

I glued wire to the middle of the leaves and then painted the wires in appropriate colors

I painted real tree branches for the trunk. The surface of the pine branches gave a nice appearance for 1/72 scale.

I shaped the leaves appropriately using wire and super glued them to the trunk.

Not the best but looks nice...

An example vignette with palm trees... Please wait for this vignette..

Thank for sharing Kerem...

1/76 Dapol/Airfix Stephenson's Rocket (by Kerem Özkır)

 

Hello dear modeler,

1/76 Dapol Stephenson's Rocket 

Original kit is dated 1961 from Kitmaster. Then Airfix reboxed it. Mine is from Dapol. 

Due to its age kit has some ejector marks to fill and sand. But there is no need to talk because it is unique.

Kit has no rails. The rails were made of wooden sticks and plastic rods. It was fun to built.

Happy modelling,

Kerem Özkır..
