I made a unique, highly detailed and very realistic model tree using just wire and some common model making supplies. If you are following my work you know that I have a fascination towards realistic model trees and I try pushing my boundaries to make unique and highly realistic model trees and this one is definitely the best one so far. This project was not only complex, but also required a good degree of planning, patience and often on the gorund problem solving. Yes, you will not make 100s of these perhaps, but making just one will definitely give you pride and satisfaction.

Not to mention that I covered some basic scenery making technique as well and showed how to blend different elements of nature. It might be a vignette spanning just 5 inches in diameter, but don't go by the size, this project is punched with exciting and engaging details and a one of a kind story.

The model is based on the ruins of the Ross Island, you can learn more about it here: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel...
