how to make ho scale trees, quick! not many supplies needed.

[@dennisjordan275]

Wow! Impressive

[@jmoore623]

Seriously genius idea on a quick creative way to make pine trees!

[@BoxcarJerry]

That was super easy and looks great. Thanks for sharing it.

[@basementtrains]

You are so welcome!

[@David_Musicpro]

Nice work. I know for demomtration purposes it was a quick run through. As a suggetion I found that having a wide pastic container to collect the scenic ground cover material is helpful so as not to waste it during application and can be saved or used for same day or future use. Thank you for sharing.

[@basementtrains]

Yeah I have tubs of "fall off" that I reuse

[@MrElliptific]

really looks great!

[@boots4493]

Brilliant just brilliant

[@corckyromano4187]

That is the best way to make trees I've seen yet!

[@basementtrains]

It's how we've done most of ours! Quick and easy!

[@trainsportation]

Nice work sir. Love this method. Need to try it out soon.

[@DysfunctionJunctionOhio]

Man thats awesome

[@DaveVersteeg]

wauw...you rock. Thanks man

[@basementtrains]

You're welcome!

Nice method, easy, cheap and quick. But can I suggest using latex gloves on your hands? They keep paint and glue off your hands. I did without them for years, but once I started using them I'll never go back the other way.

[@renekreisel8165]

Gutes Ergebnis ❤❤❤

[@joshuamiller8259]

This was the simplest thing I have ever seen

[@basementtrains]

Once you get it figured out, they go pretty quick

[@MarcyFusilier]

Thanks for the clear instructions and great video! Is there a way to twist the wire without a power drill? Can it be twisted with pliers instead?

[@basementtrains]

I've never tried it. I just know the drill gets it tight and nothing falls out

[@johntotten1611]

Safety wire pliers do the same thing, less electricity.

[@bennihulls6851]

Genius

[@basementtrains]

Thanks

[@tomtaylor1947]

Nicely done - I'll give it a try this weekend - can you tell me what size of wire you used - thanks.

[@basementtrains]

The wire I got was in Walmart with all the picture hanging stuff, not a real heavy wire.

[@tomtaylor1947]

Perfect - thanks.@@basementtrains

[@uptownphotography]

What gauge wire are you using. I have made a few trees from this method years ago, but don;t remember what gauge works best. Thanks in advance and very nice video. Phil Jersey Shore Area

[@basementtrains]

I looked for the package, I know it wasn't huge wire, I got to get more anyway. I know it was half the size of a metal clothes hanger.

[@uptownphotography]

@@basementtrains Thanks for the info. I will see if I can find out what I used years ago. I am getting to the stage where I need a lot of Evergreen trees on a large mountain HO RR. I am not looking forward to making 500 to 600 trees. Even though this method is great with great results, making that many seems like a real challenge. All the best from the Jersey Shore. Phil

[@gerlandkent6377]

👍

[@daithinolanskl1977]

Are these good for 1/35 models. Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to this.

[@basementtrains]

They be good about any size id think

[@darcyremlinger9166]

I have poured over video after video after video after video after video afte....well, I'll save you the point I am making....However, this is without question the fastest method with relatively same results I have yet to bear witness to. Thanks!

[@basementtrains]

No problem at all!

[@janwilson8415]

Ditto!

[@OScaleMike]

What wire do you use?

[@basementtrains]

I use a couple from a small to a medium sized

[@OScaleMike]

@@basementtrains Is it just aluminum craft wire?

[@steveklippstein9618]

Top work:) really fast

[@basementtrains]

Thanks 😁

[@wm1675]

Can you please tell me which rope you use exactly.

[@basementtrains]

I use bailing twine

[@viniciusgardson]

I love it KISS....keep it simple,stupid....
