Create a Seafoam Tree

This guide outlines a step-by-step method for creating realistic model trees using twisted wire armatures combined with sea foam foliage. It explains how to form the tree structure by twisting and branching wire, then shaping and texturing the trunk with hot glue and filler before painting. The guide shows how sea foam is applied to represent fine branch structures and how foliage is added using PVA-based textures. A full list of recommended tools and materials is included, making the guide a practical reference for modelmakers seeking naturalistic, custom-sized trees.
