You did a beautiful job on that tree. I cannot believe you had so much patience to glue each individual leaf on!! Amazing. That's truly is a first class job. I love your kitty too by the way, looks like he/she likes to be close to Daddy whilst he's working.
Had a slight meltdown in my brain when i realized you did the single leave method again :D Incredible work, probably the nicest model tree i have seen to date. Well worth the effort mate :)
Really the best looking model tree what i saw at the moment!! What a work! Respect!! All these leaves glueing one by one🙈🙈 also like the pet in front of the camera! Haha
This is the best tree model i've seen so far ! What kind of plant do you use for the small branches? I've tried a tree roots, but when they dry, they break so easily. I'm looking for a more durable option.
Amazing work my friend.I luv it.i believe this is the only way to make a realistic 1/35 tree. This is one of the very best hard wood trees I've seen sir. Thank you for sharing your work. Its beauitful.
Hi Felis, Your video is superb, enhanced by your calm and soothing voice! And your finished tree is superb! But it's not surprising when you have the patience of a saint. Gluing on single leaves would send most people around the bend. I know of one guy who glued single leaves to his model tree, 3000 of them and he posted the finished diorama on the modeller's website which I belong to. He then set about making an even larger diorama with 6 such trees................ and we never saw him again! LOL. I myself have made a few trees, but mine are 'indestructible' because over time ANY tree will get dusty and maybe even covered in cobwebs, so I wanted to be able to jet wash mine with an airbrush, and even vacuum-clean them so I don't have to worry about damaging them when that situation arises. So, that leads to my question........... do you encase your dioramas in glass/persex/plastic? Also, I make my leaves from paper using paper punches and I wonder why you use real leaves which will decay over time. Paper contains kaolin and is acidic and will pretty much last hundreds of years.
Thanks for your super comment! :) That missing guy must have those 6 trees under his belt but I guess now he must be hunting bananas he sees inside his head LOL I've had enough making one every two or three years. The question,.. I just dust the model every week and blow those leaves with air from my lungs, they're in good shape after all this time... a glass protection would be great though. I use the real leaves because they have the most realistic texture but I treat them before with transparent lacquer on both sides, that should slow or stop natural decay. Cheers bud
Fantastic my friend. Such patience you have , you are a true Jedi Master at this !! Lol really enjoyed it and I found it very therapeutic to watch. I hope you and everyone are OK my friend .
Un treball excel·lent. Sobretot les fulles del plataner i l'escorça. Una feinada enganxar una per una les fulles a es branques, que per cert no se de quina planta és.
Wow outstanding work yet again my friend looks more than convincing for any diorama...... Do you know how to make convincing pine trees at all as am in the middle of doing an Ardennes diorama and am stuck with them...
Thanks a lot buddy :) I have never done a pine but the follow a different buiding pattern. Here you have a very interesting tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U54S8y3B-Ag.html Some types of fern look like pine branches and that's the product he's using
That’s the most incredible thing I’ve EVER seen!!! I’ve seen (finished) trees in dioramas using single leaves, but I never knew HOW they did it. Well, now I know what I’m IN for!!! 😉 Thanks for posting! I’ll probably need to watch this video 100 times. But that tree was MASTERFUL!
Thanks a lot for your comment bud :) I'm glad the vid has inspired you. Just bear in mind that the most difficult part is to make that white clay look like branches, it requires a few days because you need to respect the 24 hour drying time, and you do need to work by layers/days. Once that part is done the rest is easy, but... not fast. Good luck and enjoy the experience. Oh! It's good to take pics or make a some kind of log or slide show, it helps your memory and usually you see things that you wouldn't see otherwise. Cheers!
Felis, what colors did you use to make this tree. These are native to where I live and I would like to try to make a few of them for a model train layout here in town. They are thinly branched with large leaves and would look nice on the layout. Thanks.
Hi I'm in the middle of making my own 1/35 scale tree and have a question for you, What type of soft clay do you use? I use DAS clay but that is very thick clay and perhaps not suitable for this tree work? Great video, great tree very nice thank you.
You put the chipping liquid and let it dry for 10 minuts then you put the greennish color, and let it dry how much time after start making the chipping effect?
I have only 2 model shops in my entire country and luckily it's in my city (capital). But they don't have things like from woodland scenics or that, just models and some upgrades for the models. So I have to use everything from scratch for dioramas.
