I made an armature for a Kapok tree out of hangar wire. The root system will be growing around a stone ruin. The next step is to make the stone ruin and cover the armature in foil, then paper mache over the foil.
  Also I made two Monstara Deliciosa armatures with wire and leaves from the Michael's micro plant monstara. The Michael's miniature had it like a bush but it's actually a vine. I also added more fenestration cuts in the leaves, as the leaves get bigger, the more fenestrations and perforations they have, to scale these leaves would be huge. Then I added arial roots, as older vines produce them for stabilization. Im going to have to coat the armature in wood glue im thinking. A glue/paint mix.
We'll see how this goes.

Thanks! Doesn't look like much but I wanted to show the armature before I cover it up.

Thank you! I like to learn about filming location's geology, flora fauna when making dioramas. The developers of Battlefront went to the filming locations, took pictures, 3d scans all kinds of stuff to recreate the environment. I actually use Battlefront as a reference a lot.  I like my monstara armature, it's pretty accurate structurally.  Hard to get a good picture with thin wire.
