Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to create plant model with realism. A tree core having a trunk and branches is created. The tree core is pre-coated with a clear oil-based liquid. A coat is formed to cover the tree core with a composite mixture. The composite mixture contains at least a paint component, a color pigment, a binder component, and a glue component.
Claims18
A plant model comprising:
- a trunk formed by a first number of twisted or reeled wires tapering from bottom part to upper part;
- a plurality of branches, each formed by a second number of twisted or reeled wires from a branch location on the trunk, the second number being less than the first number;
- a coating covering the trunk and the branches having a first layer of dried clear oil base and a second layer of dried composite mixture containing at least a paint component, a color pigment, a binder component, and a glue component;
- and
- a foliage cluster glued to the plurality of branches, the foliage cluster comprising fine poly-fiber strands spread thinly and bonded with a turf having a pre-determined color.
