Adaptable Detailed Dead Tree

As soon as I saw carlcapu9's tree model released on the dashboard yesterday, I knew I needed to give it a hex base to use as an obstruction in Warhammer Underworlds.

Again, the detail in the render suggests that it's yet another in the increasing number of designs which have SLA printers in mind only, given how fine the branches are, but I wanted to see if I lost any significant detail when viewed in normal gaming circumstances.

Then, I couldn't bring myself to basically cookie-cutter the rest of the base off, so I borrowed an idea I'd seen used for a Warhammer Underworlds war band diorama at a competition late last year.

The result is what you see here. This is the first print of both pieces and the first tree piece failed with 25% to go since I'd cut the raft border down from 15mm to 5mm, and I reprinted the top piece and glued it on, so this is a photo for effect than final result.

The tips of about 2 or 3 branches weren't rendered and I lost one branch of the reprinted top section of the tree while removing the support, otherwise it's retained the majority of the tree branches.
