Mastering The Scale Model Tree | In The Beginning: Part 1 

Wow! Fantastic!!

Music reminds me of one of my favorite movies, O’Brother, Where Art Thou? Looking forward to the next video!

Love making these trees. Just so relaxing 😊

Looking forward to this series

So Part 2 will unveil the art of foliage... "Art is the attempt to imitate Nature", old Aristotle said. And you're a true artist, my friend. Very good technique. Cheers!

Going to try this once I move. The new layout will have a signature river scene with many types of interesting trees and a bridge.

As the title says...fabulous!

Love them trees I’m going to have to try that version. I was doing them the way Luke Townsand was doing them. So thanks.

I tried your technique, using Woodland Scenics grass for small tree branches and it worked very well. I made a swamp tupeo tree for a Louisiana swamp diorama. It was great fun to make this tree and this is motivating m for some more. Your Three Sisters arrangement is phantastic! Kind regards Michael

Having a blast making these trees 😄

Cool beans! I’m looking forward to trying this method. Stoked for part two! Thanks so much for taking the time to teach others.

Thanks

Great stuff, Boomer. I will try this wire with loops method to reproduce the eastern yellow pines so common to the mid Atlantic where I live. Will need to start it 1/2 to 2/3 up the trunk, the eastern yellow pines don’t have branches until you get way up the trunk. My woods lines and things don’t look quite right without this tree. I’ve been experimenting with static grass on super trees but it’s not quite right.

Super work

Nice trees.

Wow thanks for sharing. I will stay tuned. Thanks again.

Starting from the beginning so I can’t build my trees - forgot how great Glover Road 😊

Just stumbled across your channel and sub. have spend the last week going through all your videos. Very Plato style informative way you present the material. I spent time re watching your tree videos. And thought Hey I could give that a go. So far I have cranked out 12 of them to the painted 12mm static grass stage. Loving how that are looking so far.

Cheap and great looking framework. Thank you for the share Boomer!

Cool thanks mate

TY

Good evening sir! LOVE the channel. I’ve totally veered onto making trees and am having a ball! The layout will look much better because of your channel. I’m wondering if you could comment on N scale wire gauge size, static grass sizes etc? I’ve more or less halved the sizes you mention and so far that seems to work. For the wire twisted over stem wire for the conifers, I’ve tried a few different adhesives etc on these twisted trees. Bit of a game changer tip from today. Spray this tacky adhesive on the thread covered stem wire prior to wrapping with florist wire. Prior to this, 5 wraps of wire between each pair of loops was required to prevent the individual branches from becoming too loose after you snip the end of the loop. With the adhesive, I have this down to just 2 wraps around the trunk between each pair of loops. This also allows for a fuller tree. Since I’m in N scale, I’ve substituted sawdust for any colour of fine turf blend for the bark texture. When I apply this, I also use the spray tacky glue which further locks the loops of florist wire in place.

wow gonna enjoy this series...

Wow 🤩. Thank you!!!

Boomer, I think your trees are the most life like of any I've seen . I think because you "see" nature . I have many trees that are production trees, and I'm doing some modification on them to make them acceptable, at least as background trees. But, for close up or vignette, i gotta do your style! Thanks for an artists view of the most common things we see every day.

Nice demo, very impressive 👍

Ótimo vídeo Obrigado por compartilhar

Staying tuned👍🚂🚃🇨🇦

Hi Boomer That was a great demo on trees building, and how you can create something which look fantastic for very little money too. I am looking forward to lockdown ending over here in the UK so I can go out to my local hobby store and find all these great things you come up with. By the way could you let me know what the music was you played during the video as it is was so relaxing. 👍 Take care Julian

First tree a million to go.

Well now….. I guess I found what I was looking for…!!!!

Hey Boomer, you talk about creating different kinds of trees. Have you attempted to create a Crepe Myrtle tree? They come in different colors and have thin limbs so it would be a challenge. But probably would turn out good looking.

we have michaels and hobby lobby in my town

You can have a video on how to rewrap electric motor coils for trains LOL.

The skeleton has been made.

Boomer, I do not think you have mentioned it anywhere, but for the power pole details, did you make them from scratch? That may be a segment to add to the collection.
