This is the second part of explaining what I do for making diorama parts.
While I was googling tutorials on how to make terrain and etc I found one on how to make model tree's. The tutorial started by showing how to cut the right length and how many to cut. If you wanted lets say a 3" tree you would cut 7" pieces of wire, and if you wanted lets say 24 total end branches you would cut 12 7" pieces of wire. Next you would hold them all together then bend them in half and twist a little loop on the bottom around 1" loop, then keep twisting until you have a good size trunk about 2/3 of the rest of the wire.
Next you twist two of the top wires together until you can't go any farther with your hands, and do this to every single one until you have 12 wires. Next you take two of those and twist them almost all the way, and do this until you have 6 wires left, next do the same to these but instead of doing almost all the way you do it half, so you end up with a bunch of branches branching off of the 3 main ones, you can then fix anything that looks out of shape and curve everything into a circle at the top so it looks like a tree without leaves.
After that you go to the bottom of the tree where you have the loops, you take one of the loops and twist it until you have only a little loop at the end, you do this to every one until you have 12 little loops, next (this is optional) you can twist two of those wires together half way until you had 6 left. After that you take a pair of wire cutters of scissors and cut all the loop ends so that there would be now 24 ends, then use your pliers and twist them to about the shape of roots and you should have a tree that looks like this:
After you finish that you are on to the next step, and that's plastering it. Make up some plaster and get a paint brush and paint it onto your tree until it drys and paint another layer on until it looks like a tree and not showing any wire like this:
