Time to twist some wire!

I made some grimdark wood terrain last year, but this time I want to improve the crafting a bit. Also, I was not totally happy with the paint job, so I want to try something a bit different.

The base will be painted similarly to the ruined tower (I will provide a bit more information about the painting process.)

As usual, it’s a cheap scratch build:

  • mdf from the dollar store for the base
  • some round circular wood disk for the wood base (also dollar)
  • cheap wire and florist wire to twist and bend into shape
  • pebbles, rocks and sand from the backyard

I am looking for a grimdark vibe, so I want my trees to look old, gnarly and twisted.

I use different materials for texturing the trees:

  • cheap clay to bulk up the wire frame
  • tile grout and sand for texture
