surface tension of paint, allowing it to adhere to the casting.
3. Paint Armatures with acr
ylic paint. Let paint dry between coats.
TIP! Most tree trunks are dark with light or medium brown highlights. After
darker paint color dries, drybrush trunk with a lighter shade of paint.
Apply Foliage
1. Stretch Foliage until thin and lacy (approx. twice the original size).
2. Apply Hob-e-T
ac to branches, avoiding trunk area where foliage does not grow
naturally. Let dr
y until clear and tacky (approx. 15 minutes, drying times var
y).
3. Place stretched Foliage on to branches. Apply as a sheet or in small sections.
4. Spray finished Tree with a coat of Scenic Cement.
TIP! Use extra pieces of Foliage as ground cover
. Attach with Scenic Glue.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Clean and Fit Castings
•
Wash Castings in warm, soapy water
. Rinse and let dry.
•
Castings will have parting lines, flash and stems that need to be removed. To
remove, scrape off with a hobby knife, file or sand.
•
If Castings
do not align
properly, fit them
by removing
metal with
a hobby
knife or file. Metal Castings are somewhat brittle and should be handled
carefully. If they are bent
or warped, straighten
by placing on flat surface and
pushing down high areas.
Glue Castings
•
Assemble Castings with fast setting epoxy or super glue. We prefer super glue.
•
Allow glue to dry completely before moving to next construction step.
Paint Castings
•
We recommend the Mini-Scene
®
Paint Set (M125). It includes detailed
instructions on painting and weathering. High-quality acrylic hobby paints will
also work.
•
Plan ahead. It may be easier to pre-paint certain Castings prior to assembly.
If you pre-paint Castings, scrape paint from glue points.
APPLY TURF
1. Locate an area on layout for Possum Hollow
. If area is glossy, sand lightly
.
2. Spray area to be landscaped with Scenic Cement (S191) using the Scenic
Sprayer (S192). Sprinkle Tur
f over glue until covered completely. Seal with a
final coat of Scenic Cement and let dry.
•
Use Green Blend Blended Tur
f and Earth Fine Tur
f as desired. Blend colors
until Tur
f looks natural. An area with only one color rarely occurs in nature.
Spray Scenic Cement between layers of Tur
f.
•
Blend Tur
f with surrounding scenes.
•
If desired, leave some areas clear of Tur
f to model erosion.
ASSEMBLE TREES
Prepare Tree Armature
1. Bend and twist T
ree Armatures into realistic, three-dimensional shapes.
2. Prime Armatures before painting.
TIP! If primer beads on Casting, touch
paintbrush to a bar of wet soap and then dip in paint. This will help break the

If it exists...you can model it. Model any color, texture, shape and size existing in
nature easily. Start with your base terrain, add contours, rocks and soil and model
any type of vegetation from ground cover to grasses, bushes, weeds and trees.
Add water features from the smallest trickling stream to a thunderous waterfall to
small ponds or large lakes. The systems are designed to model any geographic
area from deserts to grasslands to mountains to shoreline.
Check out The Scenery Manual (C1207) and learn the secrets to modeling realistic
layouts. The detailed color illustrations and photos show you how to create terrain
and landscape easily and how to construct, detail and place structures. Visit us at
woodlandscenics.com for more resources, how-to videos, tips, techniques and ideas.
