N Scale Joshua Tree Armatures Kit by Showcase Miniatures (524)

Description: N Scale Joshua Tree Armatures kit by Showcase MiniaturesThese Joshua Tree Armatures were designed and provided by Tom Stumpf. The flock used for the trunk armature of this tree was the type used on jewelry boxes, dashboards, decoys, etc. While similar, this was not the same as grass flock used for scenery. The Nylon Donjer Suede-Tex Flocking Fiber was approx. 1mm long. It can be found on Amazon in many colors and usually in a 3oz. package (which will be plenty for many Joshua Trees). For the leaf fronds, we used 3mm Steppe Grass Flock from Army Painter. Many other choices are also readily available.Here are some instructions from a customer as to how he did it as opposed to how we painted them: 1. Spray on some brownish cheap paint; let dry. 2. Paint on Aileen’s Tacky Glue, then, immediately sprinkle on any old fine foam of appropriate color. This drys in about an hour. 3. Paint on Tacky Glue to the branch ends, then immediately dip those in a tray of any old foam foliage of the appropriate greenish color. Let dry for an hour. 4. Spray the tree with any old clear matte spray. Let dry 1 hour. 5. Using a “dry brush,” daub splotches of Kelly Green onto the foliage to make the greenery less uniform. 6. Drill a hole and plant the tree. Look for our Police Cruiser and Policemen sold separately in our store. All of our kits are for modelers aged 17 and up.
