What a Beautiful Tree, and Beautiful Music

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot :)

[@olafb.2929]

It looks awesome! I still am speechless you put on every single leaf by hand. But the result is the best I have ever seen!

[@peezebeuponyou3774]

Best model tree I've ever seen.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot!

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

Had a slight meltdown in my brain when i realized you did the single leave method again :D Incredible work, probably the nicest model tree i have seen to date. Well worth the effort mate :)

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Hahaha! I know..... I'm mad like a hatter!! Thanks for your praise Michael :) It means a lot!

[@157preilly]

You did a beautiful job on that tree. I cannot believe you had so much patience to glue each individual leaf on!! Amazing. That's truly is a first class job. I love your kitty too by the way, looks like he/she likes to be close to Daddy whilst he's working.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you very much bud :) They say that cats are independent.. It's a lie

[@geekyrocket9714]

Words are not enough to fully describe and appreciate that masterful piece of sculpting genius! Hats off to you mate :) Cheers!

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you Brad :) I'm glad you like you it so much; The project was quite challenging

[@kostasgeorgiou8114]

One of the best trees I 've ever seen and trust me I 've seen a lot.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you bud :) I'm glad you like it

[@ArmourEmpire]

Fantastic tutorial. I think a lot of people will have this video in their library for reference !

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you very much my friend! I hope it's useful :)

[@TheMrXtreme25]

Really the best looking model tree what i saw at the moment!! What a work! Respect!! All these leaves glueing one by one🙈🙈 also like the pet in front of the camera! Haha

[@HalidonDioramas]

Slow, fiddly, painstaking work. But the results are magnificent, a beautiful result well worth all the effort, great work as always Felis!!!

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot my friend :) I've lived all my life sorrounded by these trees and they are quite special

[@CWModelling]

Speechless......Stunning in every way Daniel 😎

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot Ian ;)

[@fraserharvey3053]

Great video and technique. My only complaint is that the music is too loud and drowns out the commentary. Glad there is subtext.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks for your comment!

[@philRminiatures]

A most impressive technique, looks so real...

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot Phil :) I'm glad you like it

Very nice work. Thank you for sharing your secrets

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks mate!

[@timothywood4402]

Amazing work my friend.I luv it.i believe this is the only way to make a realistic 1/35 tree. This is one of the very best hard wood trees I've seen sir. Thank you for sharing your work. Its beauitful.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot Timothy, I'm glad you like it :)

[@htcu-rchobby5522]

Very good work. Nice DIY project. I have learned a lot in this video, thank you. Best Regard

Thank you very much buddy :)

[@CoensScaleModelling]

that is pure legendary work Daniel!!!! I'm lost for words bud. Wondrous!!!!!

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot Michael :) I have a soft spot for this kind of tree

[@scale_model_art6037]

Simply incredible.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you Mike :)

[@yaroslavusartem]

This is the best tree model i've seen so far ! What kind of plant do you use for the small branches? I've tried a tree roots, but when they dry, they break so easily. I'm looking for a more durable option.

[@MottysMilitaryModels]

Fantastic my friend. Such patience you have , you are a true Jedi Master at this !! Lol really enjoyed it and I found it very therapeutic to watch. I hope you and everyone are OK my friend .

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot Steve :) I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm fine mate; I hope you and your family are fine too

[@BADDERSBETTERDIORAMAHACKS121]

Hi Felis, Your video is superb, enhanced by your calm and soothing voice! And your finished tree is superb! But it's not surprising when you have the patience of a saint. Gluing on single leaves would send most people around the bend. I know of one guy who glued single leaves to his model tree, 3000 of them and he posted the finished diorama on the modeller's website which I belong to. He then set about making an even larger diorama with 6 such trees................ and we never saw him again! LOL. I myself have made a few trees, but mine are 'indestructible' because over time ANY tree will get dusty and maybe even covered in cobwebs, so I wanted to be able to jet wash mine with an airbrush, and even vacuum-clean them so I don't have to worry about damaging them when that situation arises. So, that leads to my question........... do you encase your dioramas in glass/persex/plastic? Also, I make my leaves from paper using paper punches and I wonder why you use real leaves which will decay over time. Paper contains kaolin and is acidic and will pretty much last hundreds of years.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks for your super comment! :) That missing guy must have those 6 trees under his belt but I guess now he must be hunting bananas he sees inside his head LOL I've had enough making one every two or three years. The question,.. I just dust the model every week and blow those leaves with air from my lungs, they're in good shape after all this time... a glass protection would be great though. I use the real leaves because they have the most realistic texture but I treat them before with transparent lacquer on both sides, that should slow or stop natural decay. Cheers bud

[@TheHobbyShack]

Amazing- great job mate. 👍🏻👍🏻looks fantastic. Time well worth spending.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot buddy :)

[@marlinblack6597]

Truly magnificent. Like all master craftsmen, too achieve true quality it takes patience and commitment. Exceptional.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot my friend ;)

[@VGModelling]

Great job! I also did a tree with putting single leaves, it is slow, but result is very realistic :)

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks bud :) I'm glad you like it and that you had fun with your build

[@aleventb]

Very good indeed, any indication for the wire dia?

[@sirawichsangprom5218]

That is a most reallestic 1/35 scale model tree in the world

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it

[@ronhill5118]

Is there a way to fluff sea foam out from being compacted in a box? Will warm water work? Thanks.

[@MrBluemarine007]

Wow outstanding work yet again my friend looks more than convincing for any diorama...... Do you know how to make convincing pine trees at all as am in the middle of doing an Ardennes diorama and am stuck with them...

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot buddy :) I have never done a pine but the follow a different buiding pattern. Here you have a very interesting tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2aXhGuvaKdgd8k Some types of fern look like pine branches and that's the product he's using

[@Hori_Ado]

Amazing!

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you :)

[@tijno75]

Hi I'm in the middle of making my own 1/35 scale tree and have a question for you, What type of soft clay do you use? I use DAS clay but that is very thick clay and perhaps not suitable for this tree work? Great video, great tree very nice thank you.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks mate. I use Das clay as well. You can always soften it with a bit of water

[@flavien9663]

Sublime de réalisme fantastique

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot Flavien :)

[@alexmodels7594]

Very nice.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot buddy :)

[@ronhill5118]

A syringe with a small needle works good to apply activator to the super glue. But do not touch the needle to the super glue, it will stop up.

[@andrewshaw8396]

That is a fabulous bit of work. Well worth the time I reckon. How long did the leaf gluing take? Excellent tutorial too, thanks.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot Andrew :) It took about three weeks

[@andrewshaw8396]

@@Felisbarcinonensis Thanks. Ill be giving it a go - but I'll probably start with a smaller tree!

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Good luck! Have fun :)

[@matthewrodriguez5895]

Maybe I missed it, but what did you use to create the smaller branches around the 14 minute mark? Is that just real foliage?

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Yes, it's real foliage; it's called "sea foam" and can be found in hobby shops

Well done Daniel! :)

Hello amaizing work I'm trying to make a similar one, can you help me in one question?

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! The answer to the question is: About 10 minutes

[@pjlrodrigues]

Thank you for your help

[@marcosvieira1276]

Muito linda a árvore parabéns

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Muito obrigado Marcos :)

[@ronhill5118]

Felis, what colors did you use to make this tree. These are native to where I live and I would like to try to make a few of them for a model train layout here in town. They are thinly branched with large leaves and would look nice on the layout. Thanks.

[@matiasschreiner2013]

hola está genial !!! usas masilla das pronto ?

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Muchas gracias Matias :) Si, correcto. Uso Das arcilla blanca

[@pjlrodrigues]

You put the chipping liquid and let it dry for 10 minuts then you put the greennish color, and let it dry how much time after start making the chipping effect?

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Not much, just a few minutes, otherwise it's a bit tough to remove without damaging the former layers

[@pjlrodrigues]

Thanks 👍

[@jaumeillacarlos1]

Espectacular treball !!! Moltes gràcies per compartir.

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

De rès. Gràcies a tu per comentar! Per els anglo-parlants aquesta espècie és el plàtan de Londres, per mi és el plàtan de Barcelona! Hehehe ;)

[@chadwickclark1454]

That’s the most incredible thing I’ve EVER seen!!! I’ve seen (finished) trees in dioramas using single leaves, but I never knew HOW they did it. Well, now I know what I’m IN for!!! 😉 Thanks for posting! I’ll probably need to watch this video 100 times. But that tree was MASTERFUL!

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thanks a lot for your comment bud :) I'm glad the vid has inspired you. Just bear in mind that the most difficult part is to make that white clay look like branches, it requires a few days because you need to respect the 24 hour drying time, and you do need to work by layers/days. Once that part is done the rest is easy, but... not fast. Good luck and enjoy the experience. Oh! It's good to take pics or make a some kind of log or slide show, it helps your memory and usually you see things that you wouldn't see otherwise. Cheers!

Bravo on doing it leaf by leaf

[@Territory.Beyond]

what is the material used for the small branches? Is it a natural miniature tree branch?

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

It's called "Sea Foam". It can be found in scale modelling shops

[@ronhill5118]

What scale is the Green Stuff World leaves?

[@lorenzomendoza5455]

Amazing...

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

[@brucethemodelnoob]

Wow..... just wow....

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

Thank you Bruce ;)

[@Filiplego1]

What are you using for the branches?

[@Cochise_Chiricahuas]

Zeechium (Teloxys aristata)

[@Felisbarcinonensis]

You can find it in model shops as "sea foam" too

[@Filiplego1]

I have only 2 model shops in my entire country and luckily it's in my city (capital). But they don't have things like from woodland scenics or that, just models and some upgrades for the models. So I have to use everything from scratch for dioramas.
