My forest set has been months in the making.
 <\/div>\n
\n
Back in November, 2012, I planned to get appropriate backdrops,<\/a> including a sky, a deciduous forest in spring\/summer and a deciduous forest in fall.
 <\/p>\n
\n
At that time, I also decided that I needed some 3D foreground trees,<\/a> to be played by actual sticks.<\/p>\n
Not until March, 2013, though, did I get around to beginning its construction. At this time, the forest was an extremely simple deciduous backdrop with a ground made of moss glued to foamcore. Trees were sticks with stands made out of nails.
 <\/div>\n
I soon added another color of moss and brown crinkle paper to the humus on the ground. My first underbrush made of plastic greenery also appeared. <\/p>\n

Next I made Aves Apoxie Sculpt bases, covered with moss and crinkle paper, for my trees. I added a few stands of slender trunks to the thicker ones. <\/p>\n

The forest still looked sparse, so I added some sprays of plastic leaves to pass as young trees. <\/p>\n

I tried putting down loose green crinkle paper for additional ground cover, but it was the wrong shade. <\/p><\/div>\n

However, I eventually discovered the right shade of green. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Then I added stands of plastic ferns. <\/p>\n

I am probably not finished with this set. I’d like to have the option of a stump or log, a conifer or two and maybe a rock.<\/p>\n

EDIT: The pictures were not hiding behind the cut, so I removed them. >:(<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
