Make Realistic Trees

[lacanutita]

que se podria usar para que queden duros? como se llama el spray que usas,que es ??

[johnc2ful]

great video, good tips for cheap bushes and trees

[TheJunas96]

isn''t the tree a little out of scale( too small as compared to the trains) ?

[modeltrain9500]

@TheJunas96

Well, yes. However, if they are placed correctly, and used in the background, it usually can work out alright. The other thing you can do, is place some trees that are to scale right next to the puffs. have the canopy of the tree level to each other, and your eyes will assume that all the trees are to scale

[wjam43]

whats the best colors for rocks and do you spray or brush

[modeltrain9500]

@wjam43

There really is no one good color. I usually use a mix of browns and grays, then highlights of white, and dark spots of black ish brown.

[Rubenwbrk]

Awesome, thx :)

[SuperNoobNinja]

Hello i really liked this vid, it helped me alot but how did you make the mountains?

[modeltrain9500]

@SuperNoobNinja

its mostly foam boards built up to form a mountain, then newspaper balls on top to create a more contoured landscape shape. use plaster cloth to complete the terrain shell

[Haloproductions10011]

@modeltrain9500 Awsome, but how the heck did you make that uhhhh ummmmm 50 Foot at the lets electric train scene and where well you know house friends house.

[graham91011]

epic model its way better then most alot of people make model im making a

d-day model i still have no idea for what to use for the ocean can you give me a couple ideas? I really need some ideas from people for what i can use for my ocean part.

[modeltrain9500]

@graham91011

Thanks!

If I were you I would use woodland scenics realistic water, and then for the waves use water effects. As for the colour of the ocean, I would use a remote sensing/ GIS program (google earth) to figure out what colors match the best.

why the hell are there bullets on the table!!!???

[TheLukeaalbers]

lol nice scenery i am also gonna try to use bullets on my railway xD

[modeltrain9500]

@TheLukeaalbers

It makes any railroad extra unique

[mike937739]

I have used the fiber from my dogs old stuffed toys that she chewed-up. Just spray paint the fiber green or black let dry and it is ready to use.

[HIGHMARSHELHELBRECHT]

@mike937739 cool will try

[olaf99a]

Hello

Nice video. You can use aqarium filters. They are cheap. It is white poly fiber. You only have to sray them with spray paint ten cover it with the green. I use collored saw dust. See my "N scale vlog videos".

[MsOrlandos]

.your model is great, i didnt know so many people were into making railroad models, wow its cool

[modeltrain9500]

@MsOrlandos

Yea I never expected this many people to view my stuff either. Its a great honor really. Thanks for the support and comment!

[MsOrlandos]

im getting dizzy

[CornDogRandall]

I make my trees by using floral wire and woodland scenics foliage. They turned out pretty nice. I also make my own pine trees. I should make a video for youtube.

[modeltrain9500]

@CornDogRandall

Id love to see the video!

[HopalongLen]

Rewatched the video again and really enjoyed it. One observation; What is the live ammo on your bench for ? Are you planning a model train robbery or do you intend to stop one !? Like your delivery style, please show us more.

[modeltrain9500]

@HopalongLen

Haha, your comment made my day :D I think there was going to be a train robbery, so the town council wanted to be prepared :) I will keep making videos as long as I can! Thanks again for the comment :D

[HopalongLen]

Lovely inadvertant humour, I could just imagine you balancing the camera, trying to get the glue OFF your finger before picking up fluff ball to cover, all one-handed! Best tip I can give is - buy a tripod for the camera! Really enjoyed it and look forward to more. Very impressed with the size and scope of your workshop.

[modeltrain9500]

@HopalongLen

Haha, thanks for the comment :)

[XXcentenario]

very nice idea , thanks.

[4202EJW]

[hersheytrojans01]

[mccunecp]

part two of comment after I put clear coat on the truck and lims I let it dry and then do any fine tunning of th ebranch and then I apply the polly fiber and add the folage and they look sick I need to put tha tone youtube one day.

[hersheytrojans01]

yea, you should

[mccunecp]

I need to find some realy good cheep video editing software I need to get some of my trees on hear and show people how I make mine I use stranded 14 gauge copper wire and toarch and make my trees with solder and wire and then pant it a brown color or white or what ever tree I'm modeling, and while the paint is wet I have some fin choped of leaves from the fall and I take and dip the wet tree in and shake it a round to get the leaves on the tree and then spray it with clear coat they turn out

[TrainGuy18]

Im so going to try this! but heres an Idea try putting difrent color trees mixed in. maybe it would look more divirse. Great tip I love this idea

[modeltrain9500]

[TSBYrailroad]

[modeltrain9500]

@TSBYrailroad

go ahead

[spsf1000]

what you can do to make them look more like trees is to get little sticks and glue the trees you have to the sticks and then they look more like trees than bushes lamo.

[modeltrain9500]

@spsf1000

one could do that...

[unionpacificlover13]
