Dave, your videos and creations are top notch! Carter and I speak of you frequently. I hope I evolve into half the modelers talent that you, Carter and the Garage Gang are👍. All your your works have inspired me to commence on my first owned layout. Thank again👍
Great quick tip! I like the technique, I have 3/4 plus one unopened jars of Crescent Creek Stucco and I come away from this fun and short video with the ability to try this fun project. Thanks!
@@ThunderMesaStudio Well, your Dowling doesn't have scale bark texture either, but as a war gamer, I've never paid that much scrutiny over model terrain. Twigs make the best tress in my experience. How much more you work on them is down to the individual, but modelling is a hobby, and good luck to anyone that wants to build everything from scratch. I won’t mention 90% of scale models are not actually to scale, but I would argue it's the finished effect that matters, no one is going to fuss that the canopy glass of your spitfire is way too thick or the rivets are way too big, or the colours are way too bright. Its the finished model as a whole that counts and wasting time making a dowel look like a peice of wood you could pick up in any park seems a bit of a waste of your time that you could have focussed on some other part that would have made a differance?
Cool little project Dave, cool little log! Great vid!

Wow! That looks great!
Great video.
Excellent technique with super results!
Very realistic looking log, well done. Thanks for sharing, David
Oh man, that's so cool. Another detail to be added to make things look so organic. Thank you.
I was worried, but in the end, with the worn bark areas weathered nicely, I think it looks great!

Different tree species will have different limb spacings. That may be ponderosa or sugar pine. Nice technic.
Very true. I tend to model Ponderosas since they are the prevalent species in the high country around here.
Awesome, what size dowel would you recommend if working with 1/24 scale?
Good stuff!!! IS anyone else having issues buying spay paint??? All my local stores are always out.......Thx
Mine too. There seems to be some supply chain issues with spray paint at the moment.
Great skills but why not just find an old twig?
Why model anything at all? Because old twigs don't always look right or have scale bark texture.

@@fenthedog Thanks for watching. Use twigs to your heart's content.
