Hi guys i picked up some paper plants from reality in scale the other day.they looked amazing but i was worried about my skills and whether i could make them look as good.



As you can see if you haven't tried them they simply come on a very thin peace of colored paper which they simply need trimming out off. It does say when you buy them they would be better with a bit of color and weathering,But with the paper so thin i was wondering how the hell to go about it with out spoiling the plant ?



All i simply went for was adding some dark green wash to the plant after folding the leaves into a more natural look.



and on the finished plants went.

Now any ideas on how to get a better result here would be great,As the last thing i want is to spoil the plant and end up with a small amount of paper pulp.



So help a less than green fingered modeler out here guys lol.
