I can't see a thing wrong with it...splendid work, sir. By the look of it that represents quite a few hours work.

Looks great to me. Can you explain the process and materials you used? I'm still buying pre-made, plastic trees and painting them. This looks to be a master-work.

Hello and thanks Matt.
For the process of making model tree of this scene I begin with
flora wire No.24 and twisted them to the tree shape 20cm. high.
After the tree shape cover wires surface with clay pulp and use fake clay paint again on over the clay pulp. After everything dry spray dark brown then medium brown and finish with a little black color.
For tree leafs I use plastic leafs that can find at the flora shop. One of model tree use about 18 pieces of plastic leafs.
Cut out all leafs from the stem then cover all tree branches with clay pulp again and stab all leafs into the clay of all branches.
After finish of stab all leafs spray them with medium green and light green cover the medium green.
I very apologize about my English and hope you understand about my explaining. Thank you.
Plastic leafs before spray with color.

Tree trunk after paint with fake mud.

Two different kinds of tree leafs.

Thanan, this tree bark looks extremely realistic to me. Great job! But don't you think that those figures are to small? Especially compare this flower and soldier next to it. Are soldiers 1/35 scale?
Keep going

Thanks wape100 for your message.
Yes,about tree leafs and others look to big if compare with figures in 1/35 scale. The problem is I can't find tree leafs that look like real leafs smaller than this one.
Thanks again about your advice and I try to solve this problem for my next trees.
