There'll be a chance to see these trees up close and personal soon, although I'd be grateful if you could leave the axes at home! Parts of this monster-build will be on display to the public for the first time at Salute 2020/21 in London on 13th November. Do feel free to come and say hello if you're there...
Garden sprayer is genius.
@@GeekGamingScenics And the spray bottles get clogged at some point too so they don't spread evenly or with a fine mist anymore. Great idea for that garden sprayer Luke!
There was a point where it looked like Luke working at a garden nursery hosing seedlings.
ya I've seen everyone who makes gaming boards switch back and forth between hands as they are sealing off the tables. and Luke just set it on auto...good stuff man.
7.40 ISH "If it can take an axe then it can take a fat lad with a load of wotsits on his fingers". Absolutely hilarious! Great tutorial!
Words of wisdom :P
I proper laughed out loud at that
This video has so much great info packed in. The liquid latex dip, the garden sprayer for the scenic cement, the contact cement vs super glue - this is why I love your content, thanks for this man!
Seconded. Regardless of how the trunk is made, you've set a high-quality standard for wargaming trees. The glimpses into your mass-production line for them was informative. Perhaps you could review how you plan and prepare for mass builds like that? Not in detail, perhaps a few minutes on your process.
Dammit, I have GOT to get a shed!
I think the trees with just the seafoam on it looked great for an autumn look.
"a fat lad wi a load of wotsits on his fingers", love an unexpected laugh when I'm learning new things. You're so fab, thanks for all the brilliant tutorials.❤️
There's nothing manlier than trimming your bush with an axe...
I really liked the autumnal look of the raw seafoam - those looked awesome too!
Stealing this to death. My chunky 90s board needs some indestructible trees!
As someone who also makes LARP props you could possibly speed up the process by adding craft acrylic in 3 to 1 ratio with your liquid latex you could colour and coat in one go
You've got a very robust bush, Mr Fellows. I bet it can take a right pounding. The latest Chuck Tingle book, "Pounded in the Bush by a Fat Lad with Whotsit Fingers"
Brilliant vid.
I live in Australia and use the uprooted roots of woody weeds (a byproduct of my work) as basic tree armatures (because free is cheaper than cheap)
Many of the techniques you showed here are completely transferrable and will work well to make my next batch of trees better looking and harder wearing.
Fanks bruvvah!
Those are some strong trees! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone make terrain at this scale using a water sprayer before 😂
It looked so nice before paint! Like a real forest or something!
those latex skin webbings look like tent caterpillar webbing. So if you left them on, you could have trees suffering a severe tent caterpillar infestation. Or possibly Mirkwood spiders, if you're doing fantasy terrain. Add a few mini spiders to that, and it would look rather convincing.
man that is so awesome, not jus for Wargaming but also dioramas for photography/action figure photography
"He's a lumberjack..."
Those are some tough trees - great job!
“He flocks up trees, he seals up clumps, he makes the arbor-y. On Wednesdays he goes shopping and buys paint for a pound or three.”
"It can take a fat lad with wotsitts on his fingers"
I feel singled out.....
Couldn’t stop laughing at “if it can take an axe, it can take a fat lad with wotsits all over ‘is fingers”. Even writing it made me laugh again. Brilliant. Great tutorial as well!
Seeing you bust out the axe was great, haha. Nailed it!
That's amazing! I'd previously been dubious of sea foam's ability to stand up to the most destructive force known to humanity - players! Now though, I have to say I'm a convert. Great work Luke!
I’d skip the paint and flock and keep them in their brilliant autumn appearance seen at 2:37.
I did one of those tree armatures with seafoam using the geekgaming base ready glue. I found as long as you hold it in place for a second it held it to the tree much better than other glues.
Dang. Getting a garden sprayer. That's going to save hella time compared to unblocking a diffuser on commissions. Thanks!
Awesome evolution of your old indestructible latex tree video! Love it!
i use sponge to get stronger trees. First i mix it, then i use a mix of colour and white glue. Takes very long to dry but it's rocksolid. Since it gets smaller at it dries, a second passage is necessary. It's great for dense trees and hedges.
Making trees is always something I’ve struggled with when making terrain thank you for the video will give this a try
They look amazing! It looks like a forest from a distance and the trees look very organic.
Thank you for your videos they help me show my nieces and nephew that they can use their imagination in the hobby and that their projects will take time.
I have 3 dozen armatures ready for seafoam. I think I am going to order latex tonight. Thanks for this video Luke.
I really liked the distanced view of the trees before you flocked them. Since it gave me such a late fall feeling
Perfect timing, was looking for a way to make affordable trees for a Mirkwood board!
Thats awesome man, can't wait to see those trees on the terrain. It's gonna look amazing!
This was so fun! I have always wanted to make a gaming table that was coverd in trees but as you mentioned, I am always afraid of them losing too much flock all over the place. And honeslty 60 trees in two days! Wow, I feel like that is pretty managable, even for myself who is a small-time hobbyist. Thanks for another great video!
Excellent tutorial, I swamp mine in PVA, but this way is much cheaper and looks loads better than mine. Great stuff.
After the liquid latex it's pretty similar to how I've done trees, but your starting point looks so much better! Definitely going to have to see how easily I can get the other materials, I love the woodland scenics armatures.
Liquid latex is fantastic. I used to use it back in the day for larp costumes and weapons.
You can mix it with most acrylic or latex based paint just stay clear of paints with strong chemical scents (terpentine, etc) and untested spraypaints. Some of these can melt latex and results in a stickyness that can last for years.
It can probably do everything PVA does. Just differently. Its a more flexible alternative.
Fun fact for Larp weapons we found 3 dips was adequate to make a weapon that would last for years.
Looking forward to seeing this table finished can't wait 👍🏻
I can imagine leaving the webbing ON after the latex dip would leave a VERY interesting little specimen; good for an exoplanet board.
Okay so what he's calling seafoam is actually supertrees. And it has a plant that smells like lichen and looks just like what you see except he's broken it off of the stems. On the stems they look very much like very real trees. But what he's doing with it is also impressively creative and I'm going to try it. This plant grows in Scandinavia and it can be ordered from Scenic Express in the United States. I'm not sure where he gets it I guess I could look in the details.
@@GeekGamingScenics have you ever dipped in latex once the spray adhesive as cured??
Whoever playes Warhammer Total War knows that all trees are the strongest elements on the battlefield, totally undestructible. Glad to see this represented in the tabletop too ;-)
The weird latex webbing could make for cool chaos/alien corrupted trees, maybe.
Don't know how you learned your skills but you've nailed it. I'm not a wargammer but I really like to watch your videos. No one I know around here plays games and that's a shame because it really seems like fun. Being a old guy with few friends sometimes sucks. 😂
@@GeekGamingScenics A small town in Southeast Kentucky. Lots of drug abuse and poverty. Have you ever done a video on how you got started and learned all your skills ?
That would be interesting. You do amazing work Sir. And I'll be watching.
@@GeekGamingScenics 👍😀
OK, so normally I just roll my eyes at the thumbnails on RUclips videos, but I have to say that yours legitimately made me chuckle. Love your channel, your work is fantastic!
As a railway modeler I was surprised to see a wargamer using Woodland Scenics products as they a mostly known as a model railway scenery company. Although your trees are designed for wargaming they would also be perfect for a portable model railway that goes to shows. As for a home layout you could skip the last bit.
To paraphrase "Fat Lad with Wotsits on his fingers". Might have to steal that as my new band name. Spat out my tea when I heard that.
You had me at "indestructible"
Outstanding! I'm definately trying out these techinques. A garden sprayer is a must buy for me now. Wow, that can save me a lot of time.
You should put together a bundle with everything you need to do one full pack of armatures. I bet it would sell like hotcakes.
Would one pack of seafoam, flock and sealant be enough do you think?
I tried making tree's with flock sponge once it was a pain, then i say Jermys from Black Magic Craft cheap dollar store tree's. I got bunch done in one night using a his idea. Thank you BMC
w0w man, You are like an encyclopedia ;) Awesome!! keep it UP!
You've outdone yourself mate. Props to you and the guys.
nice vid keep up the good vid on the channel thanks lee
Hoping to find some inspiration for making my new formicarium tank to keep my ants in :)
they looked so lovely and autumnal before paint...
I was not convinced by the durability of Sea Foam so for my trees I used the same armatures but used a kind of 3D foam that is put in gutter to keep out leaves. Like a very porous sponge structure. Tore it bits then painted it before using. Might be good if someone isn't making so many trees that they can justify filling a bucket with latex.
Very good thay should out last you time your finish them. Stay safe 🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍
"Contact adhesive! That's the future, that is!"
Link to Latex? Brilliantly executed Broseph!! You rock!!
@@GeekGamingScenics #GURU!! #TERRAIN NINJA
'if it can take an axe...' lol. and now also want to spray industrial amounts of glue on stuff for no reason other than it looks fun.
You did it again, Captain Half-sock!
I like the “tree pounding” on the table feature. I need that when my elf army loses (as always).
Love them. Now I want trees on my table.
these are sick, man all your tutorials make me wish i had enough space to make big boards regularly. thanks for sharing def wanna try this in the future
I bet you could use the latex webbing effect to make a really cool spider forest 🤔
American translation: 'If it can take an axe, it can take a fat dude with a load of Cheeto dust on his fingers, can't it.'
You could do yourself a fantastic favor by giving the trees a light spray of a flat black or even a white with a different approach. And I then proceeded to dry brush them assuming a light source or give them a spray with a highlighting spray from a diagonal up to down. But you want to drive Rush the trunk at least to bring out some of the texture the tree texture and then once it's dry brushed put on some color some proper tri-color and don't make them all bleeping brown or leave them all stupid white or worse yet not paint them at all and had those stupid Brown plastic sticks just coming up from under wonderful looking trees LOL For Crying Out Loud making the tree armatures look like trees isn't that hard and it's so so worth it. Just a light coat coat some tri-color a dry brush and some wash and it looks like a real tree and it looks like you work forever
Yes I'd 100% agree with Aaron R and for a change the end result is what will be looked at. What about shell damaged trees or had you forgotten about them on a battlefield? Cheers Luke and your mate.
I love the looks of your trees.
They are always so great looking. And now they are indestructible too.
I like the idea of adding liquid latex, Definitely clutch
I had thought about using a resin dip for strengthening seafoam, but latex sounds like a good idea! Thanks, great video!
Thanks Lee great idea
Stronger than actual trees!
Absolutely maganificient they look really good!
Two questions.
1.Have you ever painted the trees after with an airbrush?
2. if its trade secret or whatever, how much did these cost to make minus all of your labour? Like if I wanted to make them here in Australia (yes I can't sleep) how much would it cost me?
Just ordered a bunch of your materials and very excited to try them out.
Love a bit of bush! Holy 💩 they're durable AF !
Interesting and informative as always. 👍
I don't really make trees, but have to give this a try. (:
And, totally missed that you had opened up a site for EU. ❤
Love your way to share your content with us. Thanks Luke, amazing work!
Brilliant. Especially the garden sprayer. Cheers!
You have the BEST IDEAS!
Cheers Luke ,
Jobs a gud un ,
Luv ~Luv~Luv .
Great looking trees, will save this one and might do my own with your method. Thanks for sharing.
Those are very impressive trees.
At around 6:22 it kinda looks like you're watering your bonsai garden :D Another fun video!
Will be using this method very soon!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Man, those are some fantastic looking trees. I'm going to have to look into that method.
Whaaaaaaaaaa ! ! !
What else ?
Thanks for sharing
Love it! Amazing process!
Should totally do a forest board next
Love the casual walk up the stairs with the axe 😂 great vid Luke 👍🏻👏
So cool but I use contact cement a lot please use a mask brain damage will happen even well ventilated rooms won’t save you . Be safe Luke we love your videos.
If it can handle being whacked on a table, it works for me!
This is the kind of OG Luke content I love to see!
Luke you’re a genius. Thank you for your tutorials!!
I need to make some new trees (my old stuff has shed all the green!) so this video is perfect timing.
I Love the Trees! Hell I Loved The Autumn Color Myself But MEH Either way, THERE AMAZING!!! GREAT IDEA! THE SPRAYER! MOOHAHAHA!! Nifty!! SAVED IT FOR FUTURE IDEAS!! THANKS!!
Great work on the trees 🌲 can’t wait for next video!!
The seafoam is gold.
No vende los arboles sin las ramas? Quisiera saber de que material es o saber hacerlos o comprar gracias me gusta tu trabajo. Tienes mucha creatividad Felicidades!!
Exactly how I made my trees a while ago, except I didn't have the liquid latex rubber. Mine still hold up to gameplay, but I wish I had that added step in there.
Great looking trees. Will have to give this a try.
Amazing results.
Luke, what did you do to prevent or hide those unsightly drips of the contact adhesive? Rest of the build is pure genius, not least the garden sprayer!
