Nice tree tutorial...
Bachmann or the other company that offers the wire trees also sell the armatures without flocking.
Try using 4mm or 6mm static grass on the wire armatures first, before the ground foam. Use a spray adhesive instead of hair spray.
Then use ground foam next. Follow it up with 2mm static grass. Looks a lot more convincing.
Really enjoy your channel!
Great work on the pine trees, you now need to do aspen trees especially the fall leaves. There was an article in the Narrow Gauge &Short Lines about 10 or more ago but lost the magazine. Great ATSF layout.
Good effort. A chart showing how much time it took to make each different tree process would be of interest. I’m guessing at least 1 to 1.5 hours each. Ouch. Times how many trees. Ouch again. Well it is a true labor of love. Keep up the good videos.
if you are making a lot of trees, the best way to shape the dowels is with a bench-mounted belt sander. To stain them, pour watered-down gray acrylic paint in a disposable baking tray, then dump the whole batch of trunks in, fish them out, and leave to dry on an old towel.
I found using a hand held belt sander (clamped upside down on my vacuum)...its super fast at getting the tappered effect you are touching on with conifer tree trunks in the first 5 minutes. Cheers from Western Australia
Ken , Great job on those pine trees 🌲..... Wow 😳 They are beautiful!!
Good video on making pine trees. Spruce, Ponderosa, hemlock, cedar, redwoods, any pine type trees, they can all use the same techniques. I taper mine using a six inch wide belt sander with 36 grit. I also prefer balsa for ease of tapering and drilling holes for branches but it is a bit tricky to turn a square into a round taper. I have also used old tapered artist paint brush handles but you have to strip or sand through the paint. I prefer caspia, when I can get it, for branches, dipped in diluted white glue and fake leaves or sawdust needles sprinkled on. A wild plant here in Alaska is yarrow, which can also be glued into drilled holes in the trunks and flocked and static grassed. I find it roadside. I would like to try the plastic branch/fern stuff but have not been able to find it to buy.
I loved the last two of the ponderosa pines.....this brings back memories on the property of the Ben Cartwright family as I go there enjoy those pines to gaze up into sky to see that wonderful way a once again ...thank you
Love the segment about the pine trees. Your final version of the pine trees, using the plastic fernlike material, looks like it would be effective for modelling balsam fir and white or red cedar trees as well. Thanks for the inspiration!!
you probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last days xD
@Jaxxon Vivaan yea, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself :)
Trees are excellent. Will be trying that myself in the future. Very informative.
The best tutorial on making pine tree ever. Thanks.
Those ponderosa pines look great Ken. The ones you did with the static grass are my favorite. I'm sure to give them a try.
These trees are wonderful and that technique of static grass gives it the final best look. I like the wire armatures as well. That tree turned out cool. The Noch brand applicator seems far easier to use than the one from Woodland scenics that I have. Thanks for this great look at making realistic trees.
Excellent inspiration by Your good self and Your associates.Beautiful layouts and obsessive attention to detail to the effect that it looks real at times.
Admired Your passion and the method of modelling pine trees especially!! ...World Class Railway Modelling I have to say!!
Making the pine trees and how good you are at it is amazing
Enjoyed the tree making, might try it. Don't know what Mrs Patterson is going to say - her years worth of hairspray, gone in an evening!! :-) Lets have some modern day N scale stuff Ken. Happy 2021 everybody - stay safe
Great tree segment. All 4 types look good together mixed about the shorter pines. I’m ready to start making trees myself. Thanks for the lesson.
Ken, another great video - those trees came out looking VERY good. Here in Texas I am starting to use real branches from our crepe myrtle bushes/trees as they tend to grow small branch like structures that are awesome to use as the structure for trees. Like you say, it's indeed the best hobby in the world for creativity. Thanks and Happy New Year!
4 down and 10000 to go
To get rid of the fuzzy stuff before painting after all the tapering and bark effects you can use a piece of fine steel wool. Hold the steel wool in one hand and pull the trunk through it with the other hand. Works great. 👍
All the trees look great.Love Dennis's station
Really loved the pine tree segment. Now to make some trees.
I honestly like the Bachmann Wire Method the best. You can also make the wire branches with florist's wire. Thank you for the unique ideas.
Great content! Beautiful trees and a fantastic home layout. Again as always I really enjoy your music selections for opening and closing credits.
Ken, Great segment on trees and I will be inspired to give it a go in N scale. As always a great show and I look forward to the next one, and each weekly Whats Neat too.
George
Interesting video. I couldn't help but think: if Jason Bateman and Malcolm McDowell had a kid...
Really great instruction, Ken. Thank for doing this show!
Great episode Ken.
First of all..."Happy New Year" 2021 "A Year Of Hope" The tree making by: Mr. Ken Patterson are just amazing! They just look so real! I think i might just make some trees! The Santa Fe layout by: Mr. Krausman is just outstanding! I love how he combined both Steam & Diesel in the layout! How neat is that! Let's all welcome...Lombard Hobbies in Lombard, Illinois @ "What's Neat" @ Model Railroad Hobbyist. This is "The Best Hobby In The World" Till Next Time! MoPac Jack Model Railroading Is Fun! Let's all support Our Local Hobby Shops! Please Be Safe! Back To My "Train Cave" :-)
Great methods for making the trees. The one thing that I would do differently is use a few different shades of ground foam to get some variation in shading.
Great Job Ken! Love the show!
Nice tutorial Ken, might I suggest using a sharp file to cut a groove in your wooden base so that as you spin the tree, it has a recess that holds it in place. M
I like the white facia on denny's layout!!
Thanks for that one, i really enjoyed the show!
I just got to be a S... A... and say "you've got quite a green thumb" and finger at the 22 minute mark. Now I have to go and make some trees now, great video
Dave
many videos on western pines, not much on southeastern pines which have a different look.
Awesome video, I love trains
Beautiful trees
Daniel is growing up so fast jeepers
Give me oak, ash, apple, pear, chestnut and other British trees any day of the week!! I have no access to horse hair, but Woodland Scenics ARE available here!!
Nice! @ 8:30 and @ 9:40. Cheers.
Looks a bit like a cedar tree which grows along with pines
28:24 - Asparagus tops (plastic)
Hobby Lobby calls it "Lace Fern Hanging Bush" and I haven't been able to find anything like it anywhere else yet.
Trees like this McKensey tree making machine. Lots of videos on you tube.
High Five, Ken!
Quick question for you. Would Caspia work for N scale? Thanks!
I've been building and selling scratch-built Pine Trees and Aspen Trees for over 20 years.
Never and I mean never use hair spray to flock them with it's a the worst !!! Please use Spray Glue it will keep the flock on
Your trees for years !!! The only problem with the second set of Trees you built, They break really easily that why I stop making them.
For best looking Colorado Pine Trees if your modeling Narrow Gauge is the old tried and true method of foral wire and hemp rope.
It isn’t Harmony hairspray you’re using, is it?
I’ve seen trees on layouts many times, but none as massive as those!! But that’s probably because I’ve never been to an American model railroad show!! Although there are American style layouts over here in England, I’m not a fan!!
nice layout but @ 34:00 the mainline that close to the edge of the layout... i'd be NERVOUS
Yes a great model RR have operated on it twice. A favorite ruclips.net/video/TfJ15o8WCl4/видео.html
These are all fantastic ideas but very time consuming.
I spent more time manufacturing trees then anything else.
Neat, but not British trees!! I’m modelling a small part of the Epping Forest. The station will be Ongar.
Meh...
