Great tutorial, was on the look out for making DIY leaves for 1/35 diorama... Just a quick question (I can do a trail and error but I will ask) Instead of using resin, can I not use simple PVA glue? TXS!
Hey Max MF! You can use real dried leaves but depending on the scale your modeling they may be too thick...the other 2 reasons I don 't use them is one side of real leaves end up with the nice color and the bottom is usually blandish tan/brown and the leaf veins are hard to sift out and end up polluting the leaves with tiny sticks everywhere...you can buy a scale leaf punch that can work around the veins but you still have the thickness and color problem..Hope this helps Max!
hey, just so you know, yes resin is toxic but it has a massive place in the hobby room if you use it correctly. I use resin to make a living and as long as you're wearing gloves, having good ventilation and/or wearing a mask you'll be fine. If you need more ways to keep safe whilst using resin their are some great channels such as Evan and Katelyn.

Great way to do it...... I'm waiting till this Fall as I was planning on doing a video on making leaves also!
Nice!..are you planning on using real fall leaves?
@@dioramasphere2492 Yes I am
Why add hydrocal? Is this a necessary step?
Sous-titres en français svp merci 🙏
I am ignorant: why not use real dried leaves and blend them to size? Because they may rot? I'm new to dioramas and miniatures.

Friendly daily reminder that resin is toxic and does not belong in the hobby room.
