HO Scale Model Tree | The Conifer Tree Final 

surprised that you don't spray out of your airbrush with the wood glue.

Just wanted to say it's been a joy watching your videos over the past couple of days, over 45 years of making models and miniatures and still learning new things, thank you

I’ve been binging your videos lately, since I’m in one of my many artist blocks, over the past 20+ years lol. I’ve worked and continue to work in just about every medium there is ( figuratively, but teetering on literally lol ) and I’ve learned plenty through my years of experience and trial and error. That said, there’s still many tidbits I’ve picked up from you. More than anything else though, I value your philosophy on art & life. There’s just so much gold, for everyone, no matter their skill level, and even for folks that don’t model, and just live vicariously through you. Thank you for your contribution, to passing down a lifetime of knowledge & experience 🙏

You respond to all comments , yet another reason why I enjoy you and your channel. Great Trees Too..

I enjoy watching multi-times. I see something new each time.

By far one of the best tutorials on making these trees. Thank you so much for sharing.

You had me at the wire limbs.

Brilliant!

Pine trees are my favorite . It's good to learn from you how to make them.

Great stuff. And I want to congratulate you on not making the mistake that so many tree-modellers make, and that's that you have orientated the branches more or less correctly i.e the tips of the branches point upwards and don't 'hang' down. I've made 'indestructible trees' which can be jet-washed or vacuum-cleaned to get rid of dust and I am going to adapt my method, stealing your static grass techiniqe, to make 'indestructible' pine trees. So, thanks for posting!

Additional thought: If we start thinking out of the box, we start using kitchen items like pepper flakes, cinnamon, coffee grounds. dried parsley, cocoa powder, you name it to flock the trees. These items are cheap if you don't pick Brands names... just go cheap with Bulk version. It all looks great and the kitchen smell doesn't last long.

I have put some sunshine on your work with the crowd @ tinyrailroads Delhi Ontario. Good work.

Very nice, just a beautiful tree! I cracked up ... “shake on the nutmeg” loving this series!

3M doesn't wash up (tools aand hands) with soap and water. Carpenter's glue cleans up with just water. It goes exactly where you want it... 3M oversprays everywhere. Thanks for a great review. You inspire me. I live in Surrey/Newton area. I'd love to see your train layout sometime.

I very much enjoy watching your layout change every time I find your channel in my reminders. It’s interesting and educational. The truth of the matter is that it’s downright entertaining!!

These are gorgeous conifers. Thanks so much for demonstrating your technique.

i nailed the limestone look , much thanks to you and others, i combined multipull techniques, ty to my apple barrel farmhouse paint too, i found it looking for other colors i couldnt find , bob rossed it too i have art in my blood still from high school

I'm obsessed with model trees aswell. I've saved over 125 videos to a playlist on my channel of ways to make trees from different modelers. Got all yours on there. Mostly pine trees because I'm going to model a branchline railroad in NC and have been looking for a way to make pine trees that grow in the southeastern United States. Loblolly pine, long leaf pine, Virginia pine, short leaf pine, and spruce pine. They have different characteristics from each other aswell as other pine trees species around the country. The most notable that I'm going to try and produce are the loblolly pines. They grow very tall and have a large diameter trunk when left as old growth. They also create a large canopy with fewer limbs going down the trunk until they are bare and form like a savannah type ecosystem with tall grasses and little to no under story trees. Obsessed see. Great video as always. Stay well. -Wil 👍

Stunning Conifer! Loving your tree series!

I love the jazz you often have playing on the videos. I’ve been a jazz fanatic since I went off to boarding school!! Your trees look wonderful.

Another masterful series and finished model. 🙌

Now THAT"S model trees!! Brilliant job Boomer.

Well you clearly explained the benefit of applying the diluted carpenter's glue over the 3M spray. Awesome video. Thanks

Have thoroughly enjoyed your vlogs, Boomer. It's wonderful to see it all come together.

My favorite episode yet! We have tons of conifer trees in Pennsylvania so I certainly plan on trying this out when I get to adding scenery to my little layout. Great stuff!

I tried adhering the flock to the limbs two ways and I like the brush method better. I used Elmer's Glue All spray and it does it get on the trunk. I spent a lot of extra time pulling off the flock. The other method is as you have shown paint the wire with matte. Spend time massaging flock instead of plucking trunk. Project moves along faster.

Absolutely gorgeous results 👏👏👏

Excellent instruction Boomer. And, VERY authentic looking trees. 👌

At 15:50 you were talking about dabbing underneath the limbs so that the flock hangs down. That is what you would need to do for Bald Cypress trees. on those the needles (if you will) all hang down. Very few stick up. It would take some time to do each limb that way, but it would look more like one when finished. You want to try one to teach us? lol

Don't think I've ever seen a more realistic scale tree! Gives me ideas for a larger scale I will attempt to tackle one day. You've gained a subscriber!

Really great looking tree! Thanks for sharing. Where are the miniature (scale) Christmas lights & ornaments??!!!

Thx much for these tutorials Boomer. I am going to try to build one of these trees after I master my airbrush 😄

Beauty!!!

I enjoy the detail in your videos. I have a long attention span. I forgot to bring my Scantron and #2 pencil for the final.

I am making these trees for my department 56 halloween layout because they are AWSOME……

That's also my pink paintbrush you are using.

Great Job with

Great Job, love your work. I do have a comment, I live in rural Virginia along the coast and we have the eastern pine tree in abundance. Under the pine trees, there are always light brown (dead) needles, or as the locals call them, shatters. Do you experience the same thing with the tress in your location? Thanks

Travelled to Muskoka yesterday with a friend driving, how many trees do you think I might have studied in 2 hours .. no answer required.

Great stuff! What static grasses would you recommend for N-Scale?

Are we talking American Redwoods? They’re much larger than the cedars!!

For those of us that model smaller scales. N scale in particular,do you suggest using the same size static grasses or seeing that’s are roughly half the size of ho do we shorten the grass accordingly?

Your trees are very realistic. The only thing, in my personal opinion, you should highlight the material you use. For the quality of your results, you deserve much more visualization than you have and many others who post videos often of poor technical quality

all about many layers, and then washs

Boomer, when it comes to Florist wire, are Aluminum and steel the same?
