@killzone474 I did. It is called "Part 3 of Making trees - game terrain or diorama -and update" I have a step-by-step howto article on game-terrain too. Just search for: making game terrain trees and you should find it. (link from my channel also)

So if I water down the flex paste do you think it might help minimize the clumping and spikey bits"?

[thekamloopian]

Hard to say. There is an art to working with the stuff, lol.

It contracts a bit so the spikes go down. The stuff can be shaped after it dries and re-layered where spots are missed or where you had to shave a clump off.

Making bigger trees you can stick on bits of real bark while still wet.

You make your trees without roots on the bottom? If so, how do you fit them on a piece of terrain?

[thekamloopian]

On the conifers the trunk has a point so I just push them into place.

For the wire twist I usually add a root or two (part 3 - which I haven't filmed yet) and twist the rest of the wire on the bottom into a point. Small hole, gob of white glue, and push into place.

Try raising Cuy in your house.

The when I try it I'll be able to watch your vids to help me avoid the pitfalls. :)
