Add some more pipe cleaners to that tree

But everything looks ok

I am not so happy with the result of the wood of the trees - any suggestions to make it look much better on an easy way? ( extra paint or something?)

( i am aware that some pieces withe comes trough-)

Yeah that picture isnt too good I think before I make any comments I would like to see a better picture

try taking the picture in a well-lit place, like outside, without the flash on. it often makes the picture look better, especially with miniatures which have been varnished or glossed

I gave it a try , but it kinda failed. Macro function was on. No flash - day light outside. It's a bit blurry ... dunno why...

the picture can change the total vision of something... I painted gold on the bottom cape - but you can't see much of it on the picture..

Looks good...I think the main thing you need to focus on right now is coverage, the skintone especially needs several more coats as the black is still showing through. Still, it's among your best work yet that I've seen and you're improving steadily

I like your trees.

To make the bark look better take some very dark craft paint add just a drop of white glue to it .Use a large brush and paint over the trunk.While it is still wet sprinkle a little sand on it. Then when it is dry. Dry brush it with lighter colors. You can paint the pipe cleaners too. They turn out well when they are dry brushed.

When you make some more you might want to make foliage from sponge.
Some one posted a photo today.

Gluing painted sand on it? - just a bit? - you sure that works? seems like a strange idea might work dunno , i should try it once

That is way better than my first hill.
I hope this Helps when you make more.

Buy cheep craft paint for hills and building.
Use a large brush.
Mix a little White glue with your paint and then add sand to the wet paint.
The glue will seal the foam and make it much stronger.
I liked the model of the Dragon.
Why don't you make a well or wall from clay next.
Good luck with your next hill.

The Dragons mold looks nice! Could use a little more ferocity in the face (or it could be a friendly dragon ) I also think it could use a little more paint

But overall... Id say improvements!!!!
