Thank u guys so much, you managed to transport so much content, in not only modelbuilding content but also in a plant psychological understanding way!
Everybody can learn lots of things listening to this master of arts. ✌️
Thank you Mel. Much needed. I'm currently modelling a tree that WAS an Oak but has now "transitioned" into a Yew.
That's a long one, I thought, but I could play some online poker and see what you're comic up with, I thought, but then I never started my game. Lots of very useful information and ideas and the second I took a breath, boop, there it was, odd shapes, so no complaints about that. I also like you having a guest. Gives you somebody to react, a bit of what's good about the live shows, but for real this time. And Jarkko has something to contribute, he's not just like the terrain adept, it's more like equals figuring out how to build that bloody tree. And it's not boring at all, it's 50 minutes of flocking entertainment! Really looking foreward watching the sequel and then finally build some of my own. I've bought some thicker wire already, but more for sculpting armatures actually, but I can't help it, if I don't start my planned eastern front diorama now, I'll at least have to put one or two trees on the graveyard scene I'm doing. Cheers, mates!
"Yeah?" - "Yeah." :D
Hey Mel, I saw the video for the first time in full length and I learned a lot. I am very grateful to you for your work. I could never imagine placing trees on my table, which I did not do myself. So the video here was a treasure of knowledge for me. Thanks again and keep going. Friendly greetings from Germany.
So dumb. I've been on the Facebook page for months without realizing you do videos. Thanks for the tips. I know these videos take a lot of work. I appreciate it.
Interesting and great format, Mel. Different species of plants have their preferred conditions such as dry or wet soil. In Finland where the soil is wet birch trees are dominate, once you get elevation and the soil is drier the Scott's Pine takes over.Deciduous, semi-deciduous and non-deciduous are the tech terms for leaf habits. Semi-deciduous trees do loose their leaves twice or more in 4 seasons usually around half in autumn and then the rest in spring once new growth has started. Australian gum trees shed and grow leaves as a form of evaporation control. As you said trees are interesting stuff. Cheers mate great video.
Thanks for the info bud
A lot of great information on trees and such, Mel. Thanks for sharing.
I think it goes: Roots, trunk, limbs, branches, twigs, leaves. I suppose you could ask a friendly Ent for a more detailed description but you know how they go on and on for days... Sorry for this hasty note. ;-)
ty guys my first attempt was wrong with proportions , now know this I can start a better one
This is great. My other interests are in Systems Theory, fractals etc. & the general algorithm for trees, like blood vessels is worth a read re. length - thickness as it branches out, might be worth a quick nosey.
hey my hubby loves your videos! he has been able to use alot of your tips to make better models. thought you might like to know evergreens do have a latin name. Coniferous from the latin conifer meaning cone or fruit bearing. keep the videos coming!
Thanks for the info
on pines they have what is called a whorl for branches where they coe out at the same height outward and each group is a years growth so you are looking from 3 to 6 branches per level
Thanks for the tip mate
Excellent, very informative & thought provoking - thanks :-)
Looking forward to the barking video, then there'll be no excuses to keep putting off the next diorama build. But I'm sure I'll find a way. Another great vid Mel and Jarkko's a welcome addition to the vids! Keep it up mate
Cool informative video. Good work mel and jarkkos. never heard so many "yeahs" in one of your Vids 😊
The Latin for evergreen is sempervirens. Deciduous is shorter and rolls off the tongue better than seasonal shedders whereas evergreen is shorter and rolls off the tongue better than sempervirens.
I don't know Mel, a little more substructure and that tree could be done, looks very good from here, and welcome Jarkko!
Great tuto and nice video!
Wonderful vid!
Best video!thanks!
Great info
"Yeah," is said approximately 10 or times a minute.
:)
Very informative video, yeah.
i kept hearing scotch pies...i want pie now.
Semper Viridis is evergreen in latin which is a blanket term. Where Coniferous is a characteristic of some flora.
Thanks for the info bud
Don't know, I still prefer to use sagebrush branches instead of wire armatures. A little more fragile maybe, but so much cheaper and easier.
Scrubs are always good for armatures mate
The generic term for above-ground root protrusions is 'buttresses'.
likkeeeeee top gostei
LOLOLOLOL You guys are LITTTT AF! hahahaha
Mel, QUESTION: what do you think about twisting (and glueing) long thin pieces of horsehair to make shrubs ?? ( I don't ekpect it to stand up on its own unless I cover main branches with caulking or whatever to weight it down)
Far too late to the party but I believe you'd call this "branch styled root trunk" a buttress trunk or buttress root base. May be wrong but I know I've heard that term throw around when referring to mangrove n cypress tree bases which usually aee far more "branch" than most trunks.
Thanks for the info mate
I like my women like I like my trees: Slight thickness at the bottom.
And half buried?
robotmonkey I like my women like the trees around here, out in the middle of the woods and completely bare.
Bravo!
Lol!
I really like your middle earth poster. where did you get it
forbidden planet mate
Evergreens are called coniferous from the Latin "conifer" or "cone bearing".
Ah, so evergreen came after coniferous when they discovered other species that don't have an annual shed then?
I think there are evergreens in Italy. I've never been but Respighi wrote "Pines of Rome". Somehow I doubt they are Scotch Pines, however.I've got a big pine forest, courtesy of one the German model railway companies. I got 60 trees of varying heights for $30. I always thought it looked pretty good but when you and Jarkko were talking I remembered being in pine forests where there were a few bare branches below the canopy and almost no ground cover other than dead needles. Now that I know my forest is wrong I'm going to have to rework everything! Sigh.

All conifers are evergreen but not all evergreens are conifers.
Evergreen (or non-deciduous) just means that a tree/shrub doesn't seasonally drop it's foliage, and is a characteristic common to many/most types of flowering trees (angiosperms) as well as the conifers.

How did you make the hay bales, if you don't mind my asking?
clay with choped coconut fibre glued to them mate
awesome, cheers.
Hi Mel I'm making trees for my model from real bushes & shrubs
From my garden have you any advice ANY would be APPRECIATED
soak them in dettol, dry them out, coat them in pva or mod podge
The RHS would shoot you for calling branches armatures the Scots pins (Pinus sylvestris) not scotch pine like scotch tape haha! Trunk flair is what it is you got the crown corrects and one thing I can say about the Scots pine ots a 2 needle system whare as white pines etc are mostly 5 needle pines! That one way you can always tell if it's a scots red trunk under bark you can always see and it's always going to only have 2 needles on each node! I'm an armour modelers and a horticulturist I went to college for 4 years to yet a degree in horticulture as I had grew and trained bonsai trees previously for over 10 years but was a big change so strick haha! Another bad thing with any pine the branches grow on the same part of the trunk, branches from the inner nodes causing them to be called bar branches! Any more than 2 in one area they will destroy the taper of the tree and grow a massive ugly bulge if more than 2 or 3 branches in the same spot! That's why there always maintained the thicker it gets it can die off fall and create a lovely white dead wood and a sucker from under it will then take as a new leader and curve up past the dead area they really create some beautiful styles in nature to help keep themselves alive! And it's brilliant to create this in bonsai trees! I have a good 70 or so and got a few scots training up in the ground before they will become a miniature Bosnia tree!
where can I buy a Kilo of JarMel ?
That's a lot of JarMel!
Ahem... the word you're looking for is "conifer"
Came here to post this, lol.
welll yes i say all the time get out of houes and look round just ues the cam on phone if have to to tack pics of the trees or bushes round you hek you get lot free bassing stuff to yes just look down me i like ues real tree branches as trunks i did when i did my train set up and do it as my war gaming forest so cape off GET OUT and tack stroll with out the phone to if got just tack pic then turn it off
I'm slowly building up my reference collection
uh huh, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
I thought you said Scotch pies!
Deciduous. Coniferous. Not evergreen.
Warren Cash coniferous refers to how they reproduce
Great presentation - however, PLEASE have your guest just listen. The amount of "yea" from your guest is driving me nuts. Not an expert on recordings, but significant time must be given for people to respond and adequate pauses should be fitted in. But the double talking makes it hard to hear what you say and I had to loop back several times to get what you said over the constant barrage of "yea" from your guest. Once again - awesome presentation except that bit of constant "yea".."yea"...."yea"...Cheers!
Thomas Hoellering someone who says 'yeah' more than Mel!
