- Making very realistic trees for your model railroad, war gaming terrain or model diorama doesn’t have to be difficult, I have previously shown a detailed tutorial on making these very realistic trees using natural materials here:
• Realistic Cheap and Ea...
In this video I show you a continuous shot that’s been sped up showing just how easy it is to make these great trees.

![KSI - Thick Of It (feat. Trippie Redd) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/At8v_Yc044Y/mqdefault.jpg)
This music takes me back. Back to a better time. A simpler time. I was 17, playing Marble Blast Ultra on the Xbox, rolling the ball from point A to point B. The only care in the world was of the coming weekend; where I might go and who I might see. I would get up to make a sandwich out of anything in the fridge that would fit between two slices of multigrain loaf. The procrastination felt better. The alcohol was more enjoyable. Consequences of my boyish schenannigans seemed non-existent. Near-death experiences felt more meaningful. Man, did I take those years for granted - as I'm likely still doing now.
Because of this video I will now squeeze the most value from every day and wake up with conviction every morning rather than merely moving my body in 3D space. Thank you.
Also: cool tree.
Love all of your tree tutorials and the different methods that can be used. Still refer to these often. Even the cheaper bulk trees you can find online can be greatly improved with some of the steps you show in these videos.
I have absolutely no interest in making models myself or anything but I love these videos. It's so cool to see the attention to detail and how perfect the finished products look
+Djekwi Djekeksn Thanks mate, I'm glad you find the videos entertaining. It's always good to have a viewer :)
Cheers
Luke
Babe it's so cool how you make your shelving unit appear like a t.v when you go out into the darkness to spray your tree. You surprise me often with your creativity. Well done!
Impressed wife.
+Anna Meresi Towan Thanks Gorgeous, I'm very lucky to have such fantastic support from you :)
Grateful Husband :)
I agree with you Anna, it was very impressive!
Anna Meresi Towan I'm your son
hi mom
First of all I love your works Luke and you are a lucky guy. You have a good wife who is supporting you
Mrs. Anna, you need to teach something to my wife :)
Nice example. I've always struggle with the flock/foam sticking to the branches (lower than the canopy) and it can really take away from the look. Seeing you apply the foam to the inverted tree gives a foundation layer for the right-side up application to fall on and stay off the core branches. (At least that is what I think is happening.) I'll have to focus on that more next round of the tree making.
+Terranscapes I too still get the odd pieces sticking to the trunk, if it's really bad I'll put that tree up the back where it's less likely to be seen but if it's a tree that's near the front where it's going to be seen up close I'll use the tweezers to pluck off bits of foam from the trunk. It's time consuming but overall it can be worth the extra time.
Cheers
Luke
+Luke Towan Makes sense. I'm a fan of tweezers.
Fantastic. I've watched videos of scale trees which take a day, or more, to make and thought there's no way I can be bothered with that. But your method is a bit more like it!
+davie maclean That's the good thing about this tree, it's fast and easy. Even the commercial tree armatures take at least 5 minutes to make. As long as you have the time to collect the branches you'll be able to make a forest in not time!
Great video Luke, I finally twigged that your branching out to greater things. Great way to save money when adding trees to the layout, as the off the shelf cost a fair packet. Many thanks for sharing- cheers Andy
+BlueMountainsModelRailProject ha ha thanks Andy, feel free to take a leaf out of my book and make as many trees as you need... lol there's almost a hidden pun there considering a book is made from trees... Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Cheers
Luke
I have made similar trees with trunks from live-oak twigs, then hot-gluing lichen to form the canopy. Using a shaker for the foliage helps.
+Annette Yasin Great idea, I've seen lichen used once or twice but never tried it myself. I'll have to get some and give it a go.
Cheers
Luke
Awesome as usual! I showed your vids at my local game store and one dude was like "WTF I PAID 20$ FOR 4 TREES LAST WEEK" it's amazing how much money you can save with a little bit of ingenuity. Cheers!
+pppppppf LOL, it's amazing what you can do with natural materials! That basically cost nothing... Thanks for watching and most of all sharing the video with others :)
Cheers
Luke.
Great trees 🌲.
Awesome work.
Will try this , thanks
Mike Espo .
This song is so incredible! Very grateful for Shazam which was able to tell me it is Epiclogue (sic) by Na ❤️
As always, your items are very realistic and life like
+James giordano Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I'm actually about to film another tree tutorial using florists wire as the tree armature.
Cheers
Luke
Very nicely done Luke! By the way I saw your piece on Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine. Congratulations. RT
+retrainrun Thanks RT, I was pretty surprised to get the email from MRH saying they were interested in using a couple of my photos.
Cheers
Luke
Wow! Very realistic!
+AJ Dawson Thanks mate :)
Nice.
I love your channel!
cheers :) glad you're liking the videos
Thanks for the great video Luke.
+Roy Snelgar No worries Roy, thanks for watching

Salutations from Moscow, Luke! You did a great tutorials. What kind of plants do you use for these trees? Thanks in advance.
+Alex K Hi Alex, unfortunately I'm not 100% sure on the type of plant I used. I found them out the back near my house. The technique will work with any fine branch structured plant.You could try "super trees" from America or "Sea Foam" trees from the UK. The only reason I don't use those plants are because Australian quarantine is very strict when it comes to importing plant material.
Hope that helps a little.
Cheers
Luke
TREE mendous luke realistic and quick
+boltuss2006 lol thanks :)
Cheers
Luke
Great work! I'm interested in your newsletter but couldn't find any place to sign up for it on your site.
yea buddy this was great!!!! So how long did it really take? haha!
You did a time lapse
I thought there was a TV there lol
Thanks Luke ;)
+RGTN No worries mate. :)
Cheers
Luke
Perfect! Can you write here name of this plant used to made tree? Best if write latin name. Thx
They look a lot like gum trees great job mate
thanks, I was initially trying to make gum trees :) but if you spray the trunks different colors you can get different effects, which all look quite cool.
Cheers
Luke
Like clockwork ;)
Bet you can build a whole forest in a day!
lol, I definitely need a forest for my layout :)
Cheers
Luke
Where did you get does those braches from? I mean what type of tree it os?
What type of plant are you using for the trunks?
yeah lol
+Matt Tucker to me it looks like he has the stems out of ( super trees )
+Matt Tucker Hi Matt, I'm not 100% sure what type of branch it is? I discovered it in parkland near my house in Australia. The technique will basically work with any fine structured branch. It works quite well with Super Trees (if you can get some)
Cheers
Luke
Nice trees tho gunna try and make me some lol
Hello can you please tell me what did you use to make the leaves
Any chance there is a tutorial out there on making willows?
I'm yet to try but if I make some and they look good I'll be sure to do a video.
Cheers
Luke
Good looking trees, but it would take me quite a bit more time to make them.Scott
+Scott Downey Yeah my first tree took a little longer. This was maybe the 5 or 6th attempt. Some go faster or slower depending on how many layers of the woodland scenics foam cover you use.
Cheers
Luke
what is that green material
I also asked about it ..🤧
what about shrubberies? (and knights)
+rparker069 Thats an upcoming video, I'll do a video with a number of different techniques for smaller bushes and shrubs.
Cheers
Luke
Which type of sprey are you using
Does it matter what kind of spray glue you use?
No not really, some are thicker and stickier than others. Some people also use cheap hair spray. But if you want you tree to last longer, once it's finished lightly mist the tree with scenic cement to give a stronger bond.
Cheers
Luke
Is that tea tree snippets mate?
+ratofvengence no it's something else, unfortunately I'm not sure on the species. It's a native species in the Australian bushland near Adelaide.
Cheers
Luke
Luke Towan Thanks for the reply. I'm in Sydney, I'll have to see if I can find something similar. I have a Melaleuca in the yard, will let you know :)
Dont the moss get dry???
What kind of spray are you using?
+40belowful It's Selleys Kwik Grip Spray Adhesive, I bought it from Bunnings in Aus.
Cheers
Luke
What about jurrasic era?
is there a way to make palm trees?
+Julius Dewald I've been thinking of using the small decorative feathers... haven't tried it yet but it might work?
Cheers
Luke
