Modeling Desert Juniper Trees | Workbench Wednesday

This week's Workbench Wednesday is a "how-to" on modeling high desert Juniper trees. Sometimes called cedars, these gnarled and ancient trees dot the hillsides and canyon rims of the American Southwest. Since there are no commercial products that come close to the look of these unique trees, I scratchbuild mine from twisted wire, modeling paste, and ground foam. These techniques and materials work great for other types of old, twisted trees as well.

Thanks for watching!
