Continuing planting The Tree. I glued the circular tree base onto the landscape base. I used straight pins to hold the foam and will leave them in permanently. Before gluing The Tree in place, I added stucco to the root channels and smoothed the burrow. I’m working with the stucco while it remains pliable.
I added stucco to the holes I made for the root tips.
When I glued The Tree into place, the stucco squeezed under the roots and around the root tips for a smooth fit. :]
I used a toothpick to shape the stucco further. I then glued in the foam scraps under and around the roots, again using straight pins to hold the foam in place while the glue dries.
More stucco added, and the surface is relatively even now.
This was as far as I could go tonight. The burrow floor needs to be painted before I can close it up, so I have to wait for the stucco to dry.
