(Who is Noss from the Netherlands?) This is a great video! For us n scaler's there are a Very few resources like thus All the "geniuses" model in HO which is no help to to us. . I'd had this idea but you've gone through the pain of working it out, so thanks for that. . The audio is fine. Personally this method is exactly what I need for doing birch trees for my winter northeastern layout. The trunks are usually almost perfectly straight with branches that come off at a sharp angle. The woods are a mix of mostly conifers and birch. All I'll need to do is cover the trunk in a thin layer of white Sculptamold, dot it with black paint and I'm good to go. In winter there aren't any leaves so this will look great! I'll post pictures when I'm done.
Thanks so much for the great video. It's really helpful. Have you considered a heavier gauge wire for the core? Being bendable it would solve the straight trunk issue.
I'm pretty clumsy, but never squashed me thumb with a hammer. (Have dropped a large full garbage can on my toe, though). Could be either spray paint over-spray or india ink / iso alcohol wash from my Big Jug O' Stain.
+Sam ewyk I used 16 gauge stranded wire (because that's what I already had available). I don't know what gauge the individual copper strands are. I haven't tried beading wire yet--it might be too soft--but I'll try it sometime. Until then, if you try it, please share your results :)
iv bin using all different beading wire and its really sturdy but it does tend to break easily the thinner it gets witch is annoying ps: do those tiny copper wires break easy?
So I watched you break the wood. Why don't you just buy some number 4 copper wire. Lowes has it not to expensive and you can bend it to where you want it without breaking anything. Just a Thought
Thick wire is an option. And then you could use touches of solder to keep sections of wire tacked to the core. However, I already have 20 kabillion bamboo skewers laying around the workbench, and I try to go with what I have. Thanks for the suggestion.

Great video, like how you work with what you've got around

Great video! =)
Hola!!! Qué cantidad de hilos de cobre utiliza? Gracias, me encanta su trabajo. Saludos desde Venezuela
Dose of hammer rash on your left thumb?

what gauge are those little wires you're making the tree out of are they roughly 30 gauge?
and do cable wires not break as easy as beading wire dose?

Where do you get your #4 wire?
MrLeonard55 Not sure what #4 wire is: I use 16 gauge stranded stuff I got at Radio Shack.
M.C. Fujiwara I must have misheard you.
