The OMG Moment of Making Things in Miniature

I'm making trees using the Scenic Express SuperSage starter kit. Sage trunks (gnarly hunks of mini trees) and some kind of dried Scandinavian miracle weed are the main ingredients, along with various foliage and leaf flocking materials.
Unfinished SuperSage tree. No paint or foliage yet-hut look at that detail!
OMG--these things look incredible before they are even finished!  Build-up is somewhat painstaking--but worth it for a foreground-ready tree

    Well done, Steve!
    Remember, the extra time spent on details such as this really pays off. Your SuperSage trees will be larger too, so you'll need fewer of them to populate the scene.
