I have made trees for smaller scale by getting twigs and glueing on some flock. Hydrangeas I can get too. What would you suggest as a good sealer?
A couple of the Model Guru books I got suggest a dull, matte Hairspray. I have used it on some trees I did and it works great! No clean-up on the airbrush, no special trips to the hardware store.....just go to the market and pic up a can/bottle. I used "Hairnet" by Aquanet. It left a barely seen coat and gave the tree leaves a little shine but not TOO much.
