Hello everyone, I was doing a little more landscaping, putting some rock faces up and I thought I would place a couple of trees as well. That's were I ran into my problem. I used the plaster cloth from woodland scenics to built my hills and when I tried to place the tress they just kept on falling over. It seemed like they penetrated the hard cloth, but they just didn't stay standing straight. I even used some hobb-e-tack to no avail. Don't be fooled by the attached photo, they fell to the side right after I shot the pic:laugh:

:laugh::thumbsup:Nice work so far though...just run a thicker layer of plaster where the trees go so that you'll have some meat to drill into and set your trees.

you could try some low temp hot glue as well. just be patient yet quick - i put a small amount on the trunk and hold it in place for a couple seconds - works great - you can paint the glue with acrylic when it sets.

Another option is to poke a hole in the plaster in your desired location, then squirt some epoxy into the hole, letting it fill up the local area. Let that dry, redrill your hole, and now you have a solid foundation.
