Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can the plastic tree armatures be painted?
Yes, our Tree Armatures can be painted. The armature should be twisted and formed into its tree shape before it is painted to avoid cracking the paint.
A flat-finish enamel paint is best. If you do not use a flat-finish paint, spray the armature with a flat-finish clear coat after it is painted to lessen the shine. -
How many tree armatures will a 25.2 cubic inch bag of bushes do?
A 25.2 cu in (57.7 cu cm) bag of Bushes will make approximately 15 trees. The exact number of trees will depend on the amount of foliage used and the size of the Tree Armature. Smaller Armatures will net more trees and larger Armatures will net fewer.
-
Do you have any suggestions on how to bend armatures?
There is an infinite number of ways to bend armature branches, as there are an infinite number of tree shapes in nature. A popular shape can be achieved by bending and twisting branches to resemble deer antlers.

How many 2-4” Tree Armatures can be foliated with one bag of Foliage Clusters?
This is difficult to calculate with Foliage Clusters, as the size of foliage is created by the customer. We recommend breaking foliage into pieces approximately 1/8"-5/16" for 2"-4" Tree Armatures. With these size pieces, one bag of Foliage Clusters will foliage approximately 40 trees. Actual coverage depends on how thick the foliage is applied.

I bought your Tree Armatures and I would like to know what kind of foliage I should buy for building trees that are durable enough for wargaming.
We recommend using Clump Foliage as tree foliage. Break into desired sized pieces and attach to tree armatures with Hob-e-Tac as instructed. Spray foliage with Scenic Cement to secure in place.
-
What is the best way to adhere clump foliage to nearly vertical surfaces? I have tried many methods but the clumps keep falling off after a few weeks.
This depends on what type of surface you want to adhere the foliage to. We have created three-dimensional trees by gluing foliage to foam board backgrounds. The Clump-Foliage™ must be broken into manageable size pieces (approximately the size of our Bushes). We use Foam Tack Glue™ to adhere the foliage, piece by piece. Dry flat and let the glue dry thoroughly.
-
What type of foliage would be the best to use to create the appearance of pine?
We recommed using Conifer Green Clump-Foliage (FC185).
We also recommend using Pine Tree Armatures.

How do you get the clump foliage trees so full? I bought your kit and I cannot get them to look like that. Do you apply another coat of the hob-e-tac to the first application of foliage then add more foliage?
Here is our method for modeling trees with Clump-Foliage, which provides a very thick, realistic looking tree.
1. Bend and twist Tree Armatures into realistic, three-dimensional shapes. A popular technique is to have the branches resemble deer antlers. This shape helps hold more foliage on Armatures.
2. Apply Hob-e-Tac (S195) liberally to all sides of branches, avoiding trunk area where foliage does not grow naturally. Wait for adhesive to become clear and tacky (very important). Dry time varies due to environmental conditions, 20-45+ minutes.
3. Break Clump-Foliage into manageable size pieces that are proprotional to the size of the Tree Armatures you are using. Dip the Tree Armature deep into the bag of Clump-Foliage, remove carefully and shake gently to remove excess. Dip into bag of foliage again, if desired. Then, pinch Clump-Foliage firmly on branches to secure.
4. Overspray Clump-Foliage with Scenic Cement (S192) to help seal in place.Click here to view a short video about making a tree with Hob-E-Tac.
