I've made so many twisted wire trees for my career in professional modelling that my fingertips start to hurt watching this! It is very time consuming but the results are quite gratifying. A variety of materials can be used for the foliage, and the ones we used most were Woodland Scenics' Polyfiber, stretched to a point of near invisibility, and "leaves" from Noch. These are instantly available, which is necessary in commercial work, and those who are daunted by the production process of your innovative foliage might want to experiment with them. Nonetheless, that's some beautiful work, OP.
Thank you for watching! I just started modeling with a few small projects I had in mind. I feel that to have a beautiful and realistic work, you need to do it carefully. I have no thoughts of doing large or commercial projects. Anyway thank you for your comments, I will think about this. Have fun and health!
I think a lot of hobbyists are daunted by the beautiful work displayed on YT, especially if they want a forest of trees that are landmarks in their modelled area. (Thinking of a model railroader I know!) We all have to go as far as we are comfortable, and you make these beautiful things, which are at the top! I wouldn't suggest you do otherwise.@@WoodForestTechnology
Great work!! Few people are aware of the patience, dedication and inventiveness / creativity that goes into scale modelling. They're all attributes that serve one well in all areas of one's life.
Wow! Your way to make a tree is very good and simple, I will go find bamboo wood and follow it, where I have a lot of bamboo wood. Wish you success soon and create more videos. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, this is another way of doing foliage, I tried to make it lively and natural. If you are more skillful and meticulous, you can do them better. Have a good day!
Coming back to this vid to get the url to recommend it to others I wanted to mention adapting them to wargaming. Once finished, they are on the delicate side needing custom boxes to protect them. They can also be much protected with light dustings of hair laquer. Don't spray it at them, use individual light coats sprayed above them and allowed to drop down onto them. Let each layer dry thoroughly and then repeat, we used eight layers/mistings for the best results but I think a few more wouldn't hurt. Even allowing this they do shed over time but the fibre base becomes surprisingly resilient and the scatter can be retouched every ten or so games for a couple of minutes a tree at most. Well worth the efforts
Thank you so much, you can use hairspray to spray the foliage as many times as you like, that will keep them attached better. Over time, some of them will fall off, looking like old leaves lying on the ground :))
You can achieve anything you want to. It just takes patience and dedication to the task. 'Scale modelling' is a good way to develop those attributes. I started scale modelling when I was 7 years old. I'm now in my 70s - and still modelling. 🤣 I left school at 17, year 11. I've never attended university. In my life I've worked in many roles - railway clerk, floor finisher, plumber's mate, builder's mate, wharehouseman, senior IT business analyst and systems designer for various govt departments and several prominent 'world banks' and now teacher of English as a second language. The only thing that stops us achieving what we're capable of is our own self-doubt.
That was a very interesting and different approach to making wire trees, and one that I will deffo be having a go at in the future! The end result looked absolutely wonderful! I'm now gonna like 'n' sub so that i can't enjoy some more of your art and craft skills, and hopefully get some new inspirations! 👌👍
Try saw dust -dyed , or I use Moss I bought at Micheal's ! It's so easy to dye. Doing it his/her way sometimes if you over blend it ,plastic will melt and lump up.
Why 'buy' when, with a little imagination, inventiveness and creativity, one can CREATE. If one wants to / is happy to 'buy', just 'buy' a tree - or an entire diorama. For most modellers I've ever known, the 'end product' is less 'satisfying' and 'enjoyable' than the creative path one takes to it. However, when one lacks the skills and / or tools to 'create', it becomes necessary to 'buy'. Few model railroaders have the skills and / or tools to build a scale working steam engine - although some do.
While I do think the trees look amazing and there are some cool new ideas in this video, I wish you did give us a little bit more detail on materials used. Like "what was that thing at the start of the video", "what is the exact ratio of gypsum powder, pva and water", "what exact 'spray' did you use for the base to stick" and the like.
I used hairspray to set the base for the model. Gypsum powder you just need to add a little water and add PVA glue, stir well. They should not be too dry or too watery to achieve best adhesion. Thank you!
If you mean the 'thing' that was sliced open to provide strands of copper wire, basic logic says it was a piece of 'stranded' electrical cable - ie electrical flex, eg as used on a bedside lamp. When one knows the ingredients for a particular 'specialised' material one needs to experiment to find one's own prefered 'exact ratio'. Trial and error - the best teacher. 😉😊 It's not as if one would be mixing and wasting large volumes of expensive materials.
just curious.. how long it takes to accumulate such bamboo fiber? it must be more time consuming compared to grinding foam or sifting sawdust. but it looks awesome!
I want to make a fake bonsai, but I don't want to use stuff I have around the house. Thanks for showing how to make flocking from colored wood shavings, and foam.
Wait, I mean I WANT to use stuff around the house. I don't want to buy something and have extra around. So I want to use things I already have. My mistake.
When one already has a scrap piece of electrical flex on hand, how would purchasing aluminium wire be 'cheaper'?! Also, aluminium wire has less resilience than copper wire.
Yes, you can also make the stem out of aluminum wire if you have it available. As long as you are skillful and patient, I also tried with aluminum wire, after covering the foliage the results were not much different.@@trueaussie9230
Congratulation. There are no clear ratios for this, I do them based on observation and feel. As you see, they are not too solidified or too diluted, as long as they adhere well to the surface of the copper wires. Do it slowly, adding a little bit at a time until it meets the requirements.
I use core taken from electrical wire. If you make a larger tree, you can use a larger wire core or aluminum wire. You can also use Cat 5, Cat 6... or any other wire core you can find. Sorry for the late reply!
@@WoodForestTechnology Thank you so much my friend. I have been making bigger trees for years but the wire I use was to big for these type of trees. Your trees are absolutely AMAZING. Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.
In some Asian countries, bamboo is a quite popular plant. You can find it in real life as well as on google. It is used to create many different handicraft products. I use regular disposable chopsticks made from bamboo wood. Thank you for asking! Have a good day!
I feel that the parts are important if you want the model to look realistic. But by comparison, I think the foliage will hide most of the imperfections.@@trueaussie9230
Beautiful,I patiently waiting for the outcome,,and the result is amazing,, thumbs up
Have a good time!
I love the use of the bamboo shavings!

I used fabric dye to stain the wood. Thanks for watching! Have fun!
It is Wonder. Like.

Simplesmente lindo
This is so beautiful superb so please send me a gift yellow tree😊😍😋
Thank you so much 😀

nevermind, I saw it at top of the video, it wasn't so visible. Thanks a lot!

no computer, no 3d printer! aluminum wire would have been cheaper! hand makers show the real talent!

Great work im crafting trees based on this vid. Whats the ratio of powder/glue/water?
Congratulation. There are no clear ratios for this, I do them based on observation and feel. As you see, they are not too solidified or too diluted, as long as they adhere well to the surface of the copper wires. Do it slowly, adding a little bit at a time until it meets the requirements.
Thanks for sharing. May I ask what the white material you are painting it with is? Sorry if I missed it somehow.
I think I found it in the comments - gypsum powder. Beautiful tree.
I was curious, what base coat did you use on the tree and what were those sticks that were shaved for the foliage?
I used airbrush acrylic paint to paint the base coat of fibers. Sticks from bamboo wood to create foliage. Thanks for watching!

Lindo!!!!

Really nice!!!! What type of tree is it, a beech?
I'm trying to recreate a birch tree with materials I have available. Thanks for watching!
@@WoodForestTechnology
When you started putting the black marks on the trunk I immediately thought 'it's a birch'.
Well done!! 😉😊👍👍
Did you use acrylic paint for the tree leaves?
No. I use fabric dye to dye them.
Que tinta você usou para pintar a parte de cima?
Usei tinta de tecido para a folhagem acima.
What is a color that you used in fabric to make colorfull ?
I use regular fabric dyes available at the market, they come in many colors.
Очень красиво! Но березы не краснеют😉

They are quite easy to make, just need a little patience and you will get it done. Have fun!

What are the sticks u are cutting in half
At 00:02:30, in my area people often call it chopsticks used to pick up food, it is made from bamboo stalks. Thank you for following!
Very nice and beautiful. But I need to see your definition of "simple" and "easy".
Yes, in fact it's only as long as the first tree. The time for the next trees will be quite fast because you have learned from previous experience
Can someone please tell me what gauge wire this is? I am usually making bigger trees than this and use a bigger wire. Any help would be appreciated.
