I have a little tip for you when you need to fill in small gaps like the cuts on the vines. Use a syringe and large sized needle, such as a size 10 or 12. With the needle being long and thin, it can reach deep down into holes or cuts, without leaving any residue on top. Just fill the syringe with your preferred glue, silicone, or paste, put the needle as far in the hole and push the syringe as you slowly back the needle out. You can get them on Amazon, at vets, or animal supply stores, and they are very cheap - about 50p for a single complete unit, but if you buy in bulk packs of 50, you can get them for roughly 20p each. Hope this helps in some way. Love the video.
Those redwoods are so cool! I will definitely be making one or two for my giant diorama/stop motion set for my Beasts of the Mesozoic Ceratopsian action figures. I plan to make the set something of a forest edge or a forest clearing where there's a mixture of ferns, trees and a pond with water plants, and based mainly off the Hell Creek Formation's environment; so, conifers, deciduous trees, shrubs, ferns, cycads and flowers. I will also definitely put in a pond or perhaps a large stream/waterhole with a removable water layer so I can also animate the fish swimming beneath using plasticine.
Thank you for putting out such useful and visual stunning content. I found you the other day and I’ve already binged all your videos, I can’t get enough! My ground cover game has gone up 100% thanks to you. There is no one better than you at what you do, sheer genius.
I’m so glad to have more trees! I have been scrounging and collecting materials (like all my kids broken green and brown crayons) to attempt your jungle trees and now I have another goal! Your stuff is the best! I’m spreading the word to everyone I know!
Man I adore your work. I'm jealous of your location in that you can find those amazing vines and branches, here in my part of the US I can't find anything remotely that cool in our garden and big box stores. 😭
I understand. Even in my country it is not easy to find them, many of these materials are considered junk that no one buys, so i often buy the whole lot on discount when i find them. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Oh yes indeed! I post nothing it's just bait hehe ;) It's a good idea let's do that, still all a bit in the buildup phase but i also would like to do polls etc. so i can get a better picture what you guys want to see. Cheers!
I'm having difficulty finding the vines and dried branches you use. Does the garden center in your country ship overseas (to the US)? Your work is amazing. Thanks!
@@johnstonaker2947 The vines remind me of grape vine and ivy vine. I bet if you keep your eyes peeled you might find some growing near you. Just make sure it's not poison ivy!
Nice to hear that thank you! Oh yes i could do that no problem, just a matter of when, i got so many requests but it's noted on the drawing board! Cheers
Question: why did you fill the gaps in the dried vines? I know there’s a reason but I was thinking it would add to interest/look? That’s not a criticism btw: love your work - especially your dry humour!
Hey good question. The gaps i filled were not natural, they turned out to be plentiful on that particular vine, the rest of them were in better shape. I think it was caused during the cutting with some hedgecutter or something. I leave as much natural texture on them as possible, the more the better! Cheers.
So good to see a new video pop up I was a little concerned as it had been a while since the last one. Love your dio work a true inspiration to try the hobby and create worlds. Keep up the amazing work and thankyou for the video.
Another awesome tree tutorial, thanks! You have inspired me to attempt this kind of modeling because you tend to use natural elements, and your attention to detail is like no other. One thing I could never get behind is fake plastic trees on a diorama, to me it just cheapens the whole thing. Curious though, over time, how do the natural elements hold up? Does the paint and/or a final matte or satin varnish seal these elements from decay?
Thanks and great to hear that! The preserved plants will lose their natural color over time, i preserve them in glycerin first, and then a solvent based spray paint to basecoat them. This is what makes them relatively stable for display purposes. It differs though, some plants/ materials work better than others. I've had bad luck with cork bark for example, it was full of mold and it came with a colony of wood-eating insects haha. That is the risk and also the beauty of working with nature! Cheers.
By the materials you use, I'm guessing that you're Dutch. So am I. But I wonder where do you get your xps foam from? I went to the gamma and the Praxis today and I couldn't find any. I can find it on Google but then I have to order it by pack of like 20 sheets. Ps I love your videos and even though I am just getting started with the hobby I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks!
@Peter Feldkamp That klopt as a bus! Ik hoor je, ik heb er zelf ook lang naar gezocht voor ik het ergens aantrof. Ik koop het bij Van Beek Art Supplies. Ik plaats even geen link maar als je op hun website bent zoek dan naar 'Styrofoam Plaat' (ik geloof dat je ze dan minimaal per 2 moet bestellen) Ze hebben winkels in de grotere steden daar kun je ze per stuk kopen, zou ik je ook aanraden als je in de buurt woont. Altijd beter om het even in je handen gehad te hebben dan weet je wat je koopt. Dat blauwe foam is wat duur, maar heel fijn om mee te werken en je hebt nagenoeg geen afval. Alle afsnijdsels kun je in een doos gooien en daar later weer steentjes o.i.d van snijden. Succes!
@@Paepercuts thanks man, dat helpt al een hoop, binnenkort maar eens een tripje naar Eindhoven in plannen dan, zodat ik het inderdaad een keertje in mijn handen heb kunnen houden. ik kon bij de kwast in den bosch (ik weet niet of je die winkel kent) ook al niets vinden. hartstikke bedankt en nogmaals, toffe video's!
welcome back! And I have a question. Can you give me information about small electric device which is use to attach leaves on branch. I useally using static grass applicator.
Thank you, i bought it on Ebay. It's an Electrostatic Flock Box from a company named Warpainter. You'll get a very clean result with this, as nothing will land horizontally which sometimes is the case with normal static grass applicators. Good luck!
Thank you. My suppliers often have no website or they will not ship overseas. I am on the lookout for an international supplier, it's difficult because customs will often not accept natural materials because they are listed as flammable materials etc. I'll keep an eye out for you, cheers.

That Smooth Sailing Blooper Reel deserves all the love.
The nicest tabletop redwoods ever seen
Your beautiful creations never cease to amaze me. It even inspired me to try to make my own dioramas.
Great to hear that and thank you!
I love yours creations the trees are very naturals and you explication is very clear

Loving these videos. I have a lot of this stuff growing wild in my yard. Wanted to "kill it all", but now I can craft with it lol

That's why I need that's why I need to start doing for my videos by make a diorama like one day.
some of the best trees ive seen to date. that flock box is pretty cool. i have never seen that before. looks like it works well.
I am so glad that you are back. The previous video and this one are spectacular. You have so much knowledge to share, thank you for posting.
Great to hear that and thanks for watching!

Happy to hear it helped you a little with your own works of art! You're too kind, thank you!
Excellent job thanks for showing us how you did it!

Just amazing¡¡¡¡
The effect that the flock box makes reminds me of Japanese pines. It might inspire you to do an Asian themed diorama?
Would be nice indeed! I got some tricks to make bamboo aswell could combine it, i'll note it on the drawing board. Cheers!
@@Paepercuts Wait, do you actually have an ideas board. That might be something cool to share with your patrons. *nudge nudge*

These are superb! They would add a fantastic feel to my home game table. Thank you for the walkthrough!
gorgeous creations.
Omg, your diorama is beautiful!
looking forward to joining your Patreon and seeing alot more videos from you. Maybe an urban base would be neat to see how you make one.
Nice to hear that thank you! Oh yes i could do that no problem, just a matter of when, i got so many requests but it's noted on the drawing board! Cheers

Wow I’ve learned so much, thank you! 😊
Awesome. Thanks
So Good!
Hey, im new to all this stuff.
Can I just paint brush instead of a the air brush with the near the same result?
Thanks in advance.
The only thing that does not look natural in this diorama are the dinosaurs LOL (talking about the missing feathers and all)

Very very nice ⚘
Love your work. I cannot find the vines and dried branches here in the US. Does your garden center sell online? Thanks and keep up the good work

Just a note German Green 71.020 is in fact Green Brown 71.020
Congratulations
Awesome
Do you sell these trees ...I want to make a bigfoot diorama and a few of these would be great!
What type of vines are they?
Waar heb je de flock box vandaan?
Ik heb hem destijds op Ebay gekocht. Komt van Warpainter.Net volgens mij kan je hem via die site ook bestellen. Succes!
