Having built up my 11" high Master Chief by Sprukits, I needed to find him a home.  I also fancied doing a jungle diorama  as it's completely different to everything else that I model.  As he's so high, I felt I needed a scene that would dwarf him. I went back and replayed the level Infinity from Halo 4 and decided to use that as inspiration for my diorama.

I have never used celluclay before so when I was wondering how to build a gigantic tree for my Halo diorama, I turned to  a set of blog posts from one of my favourite sci fi modellers - Fichten Foo.  He did a Dagobah diorama with large trees and more recently an excellent diorama of a stormtrooper on Endor.

All of these influenced my thoughts on how to build such a large tree.

Having used Celluclay I was really impressed.  It was harmless, easy to use and gave me just what I wanted - what's not to love!

Materials

A base - I used a bonsai pot which also has holes for the wires
Plastic covered coat hangers or other thick wire
Cardboard strips
Masking tape - the wider the better
Celluclay - it's a type of paper mache
