Need some hints on making trees that don’t involve digging in the ground ( it is way too frozen here right now to do that 25 below zero to be honest !) thanx ![8D]
Visit your local Model Railroad store and see what they got in stock.
I like to build my trees from wire bundles/wire rope, they are sold over here in different length and thicknesses.
What you do is pull Wires(Twigs) or small bundles of wires(Branches) off and position them, of the sub-bundles you can pull smaller bundles or single wires to make smaller branches and twigs.
Very easy to position, putty to add volume/texture if desired, prime, paint and add flock.
I have even made a 1/8 cascading Bonsai using this method for a Diorama, it really allows you to get creative and position everything nicely.
Hope this helps.
great idea (model )thanks
I tried your tecnique with wires but it didn’t really look good at the end. Can you be a bit more specific and explain step by step?
You would REALLY be helping me out and after adding putty…how do you exactly texture it?
Cheers Pal

You really should look at the date on a post when asking a question and according to his profile, MadModelFactory hasn’t visited here since 03-16-2004.
Once a modeler always a modeler mate!
He doesn’t have to reply of course…I was actually hoping that someone else would be helpful.
Your right though,
