After trying out hot glue as a base for bark I decided to do a batch of dead logs and trees to test some techniques on. Heres how:

 

-I found the best natural looking results were from a mixture of long and short sections of glue rather than just up and down lines.

-Random patterns and knot holes make a big difference.

-The trailing bits of glue dont look particularly good and need to be snipped off with some plastic cutters.

-I picked one set and undercoat it grey to see how it looked and it was too smooth and the lines looked really obvious.

-My first texture test is to brush it all over with  GW texture paint and then a few blobs of crackle paint to experiment with bark texture.
