Terrific Trees using Woodland Scenics Armatures (It is possible!) - Model Scenery Tutorial

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

WHAT IS HAPPENING? Hey all, I'm currently working on my next video and also moving house. While waiting for my next video, I've created a new Instagram account for my fans to post completed dioramas you've created (Conditions apply). You can check out the latest activity via: instagram.com/bouldercreekrailroad/ See you soon. Cheers, Luke

Since the Heki 1370 dried tree foliage packs seem to be no longer available anywhere, did you have a similar alternative? Otherwise, it's a sea of confusing foliage products that often need to be imported to see if suitable or not.

make a miniature bamboo tree

I don´t understand why some Guys dislike such an amazing video. These are the Moments when I realise that Hating is for someone like a Hobby. I love your Videos and appreciate the little Animation. Sry for the really bad English. Greetings from Germany

[@ppgwhereeverett4412]

Great video !! I was born in Torrance in 1954 ! I remember Those trees on the blvd. Sat under them and watched parades. Later in Ventura, we had tree houses in the Tops of those eucalyptus trees !

[@macf4426]

You did a TREEmendous job Luke 😉 _I know I know, I'll shut the door behind me on the way out lol_

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ha ha ha... you are so punny 😂

[@macf4426]

lol . There's one in every crowd 😀

[@revealingfacts4all]

ᗰіɢʜѕᴛ ᗩʟʟ ᑕʀᴜᴄᴋіɴɢ ᖴіɢʜᴛʏ that's witty and funny, hold that door for me lol

[@philcrabbe3757]

Great to see a tutorial. using products in the Aussie/Kiwi part of the world. makes it easier to shop for them.

[@shiranduarte]

I don't know yet how am I ever going to use all these knowledge (maybe never) but it's so satisfying to watch such perfectly done piece of art. I feel motivated.

[@j3nn4.20]

id love to see more builds using sculptamould it’s so satisfying to watch

[@valborchardt3596]

Brilliant, thanks Luke, take care and be safe xxx

[@blubot7944]

the transition animations were really cool! added a great feeling of movement throughout the video

[@mainer7642]

A comment on Luke's tutorials is an exercise in superlatives. As always informative and polished.

[@mainer7642]

It's a compliment!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ha ha no worries mate, I figured you meant it as a compliment. Glad you enjoyed watching 😉

[@valeriedrouet8706]

Super bien fait, une fois de plus. Merci pour cette démonstration. Thank you.

[@luctoulouse]

every video with trees tutorial is a masterpiece of knowledge. Thanks.

[@Woodthreep]

all these details show your level of professionalism! Luke Towan THE CREATOR!

[@johnkelley9877]

I had always wondered how to shape the Woodland Scenics Armatures and your tutorial answered these questions. The tree looks great and I like the special effects you added to the tutorial. Thanks for sharing this information.

[@mikeymarmalade]

You are by far the best modeller I have see . Well done.

[@Miniac]

Loved the animations, Luke. Also that jump cut in the beginning after your initial shot of the armatures into the leafy material was super slick.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

ha ha yeah I try to be creative with filming, glad you enjoyed watching 😄

[@sohchx]

Superb work as usual sir!!!! I have always seen these trees as un useable due to their plastic toy like features but you have convinced me 100% that they can be made to look outstanding. Without your tutorial I would never have known. Thanks!!

[@Robert_42394]

Luke Towan can you attempt a model plane wreck or ship wreck.

[@ramrod126]

A ship wreck would be amazing.

[@thespot1287]

Hi Luke I was wondering if you would do a QnA also are u going to put all your creations together (if it is possible)

[@Puppycatt___]

Different types of cacti

[@pipakmartinasek5037]

Luke, this is a good job.

[@mattforte1619]

Hey , Luke , nice as always mate , keep watchin this one , when I get Lost on my layout , I think Luke !!! And go thru your vids, thanks mate for all 10/10 for Aussie modellers

[@Osmosium2507]

The Bob Ross of dioramas

[@RunAMuckGirl2]

Haha! Perfect.

[@fromthistexasbreath]

i have actually put on the playlist of scenery builds to fall asleep to before... it's great haha

[@OneofInfinity.]

Totally.

[@rickwade906]

Luke - ANOTHER home run! Great video and fantastic looking trees! Thanks for sharing!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Rick, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. I actually just re-watched your switching the salvage yard video, love the scenery work especially the road in the background that leads up the hill.

[@rickwade906]

Thanks, Luke!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Nicely done Luke! For some really nice trees you can also use sagebrush and clip the branches to take the shape of a tree then glue the armatures onto that. I’ve had some amazing results using that method and as far of the tree trunks/branches themselves, I have yet to see that method topped for realism! I just posted about them in my latest video as well over on my channel actually if you’re at all interested. Love your channel, it as been a huge inspiration both in your builds and video style! Thanks Luke for all that you do!!

[@monolight1327]

Thanks for the tutorial. My deciduous trees are getting better all the time.

[@funkypunkypine]

That is some serious dedication the cause. I randomly saw this video and am fascinated by this strange and interesting hobby!

[@themoody1337]

Man, I always forget to breath while watching you at work. This is just rediculously good! Thanks for the Vid Luke!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol... I don't want you passing out on me! I'm glad you're still enjoying the tutorials. I've got a few exciting videos coming up in the next couple of months.

[@themoody1337]

Luke Towan no worries :D that stuff is literlly breath taking! Cant wait for more Sir :)

[@nowvalleydiorama885]

I love your attention to detail. A standard for me to aim for while building my diorama. Thanks Luke👌

[@Bandit-Darville]

The magic tricks complement the video. You're a true magician with these tutorials!

[@peanut71968]

Really nice work, pleasure to visit your site!

[@vineelfredrick]

Its a beautiful tree.. Great work over there...

[@topspoke]

Thanks for adding the Koala, it made my daughter very happy 😊

[@unionpacific7]

Luke you are the best, thanks for this tutorial.

[@robertrosson1990]

Awesome video.Making trees is probably my favorite part

[@lasercreation-world1981]

yes I think so, extra great👍✌

[@kalbs89]

“Awesome trees” is right! Great tutorial Luke

[@Nealeb1970]

Another great job, they look awesome Luke

[@tomasrodriguez1360]

Your vids never disappoint,always a joy to watch you work.

[@sirxavior1583]

Great work Luke!!. Without a doubt your dioramas will easily beat out any CGI scene made in a movie.

[@ratiocinator]

You have the most relaxing videos on KZbin. I just zone out and go into a happy place as I watch you create all sorts of miniatures. Great work--I've been watching for probably a year now--and I hope you keep going with your videos for a good, long time!

[@FanoFinz]

Luke, love the special effects you did in the video. Your tutorials are awesome and I really can't wait for your next one. Take care and keep on posting videos because you are number 1 on KZbin!!!

[@nurabdul1436]

The animation was not distracting.....heck, I didn't even notice the til people pointed it out. As for future builds, waterfall sounds great! I would also suggest tunnels, mountains or maybe interesting rock formations like the Three Sisters.

[@BenBoersma]

Fantastic tutorial. Great to see you 'branch' out and focus on Eucalypts especially. I've been wanting to build a few Eucalypts for one of our boards, but wasn't sure how to go about it. This couldn't have come at a better time! Awesome work as always.

[@mikhaela9250]

saw ur videos first at my recommendation from then on i can't stop watching

[@joselabalette4952]

Toujours aussi bien, bravo.

[@rogerhuber3133]

Nicest trees I've seen modeled!

[@f.catfracassofracasso404]

Awesome tutorial luke keep them up...

[@RumblerGaming]

Awesome tunes, and a great painting job on the bark of the tree, keep it up buddy!

[@icezpider]

Love watching all your videos... even though I'm no modeller...just love to see how creative you are 👍

[@kazimaslan1]

very nice work luke 👍🎨

[@TheCebulon]

Absolutely stunning.

[@gregsmith1719]

Fantastic, Luke! Love it!

[@llamedosr7843]

Eucalyptus are my favourite tree. They thrive in the UK but do tend too grow with the wind.

[@philRminiatures]

Creative, precise and splendid job!

[@jarek12061960]

Wspaniale Luke z niecierpliwością oczekuje na nowe tematy

[@jamesflames6987]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@budzillasohoski9858]

Luke you're amazing. Great work

[@adoniasbibiano8577]

Nós aqui do Brasil estávamos sentindo falta de vídeos mais longos deste canal.

[@dannyholt105]

Awesome trees Luke! And my vote is to definitely keep the magical post production shezaaaaz! I wasn't at all distracted from anything, just amazed a bit more. Them's my two cents anyway. Looking forward to the next one as well. Cheers, Dan

[@zonefpv4328]

Great job, Luke. Your videos just keep getting better and better.

[@alexandrub9602]

Hi Luke! I love your tutorials! Greetings from Romania!

[@compo6661]

Appreciating the cartoon motion and lightening effects! Love your vids man. Thank you. Now all I need is the time to try it myself 😄

[@mtstewart8535]

Luke...absolutely awesome! as always your tutorials are so detailed and explained so well. you have a true gift my friend! Keep up the great work my friend!

[@nails6365]

Brilliant, if only i could post a picture of my efforts that would do you proud. Thank you for all your video tutorials. Gary.

[@alexfishersfamilyvlogs9533]

So fun To watch these things to shape

[@wheelslip]

Very nice! Love the video efects.

[@SceneComparisons]

I love these videos ☺☺

[@juancarlosbarriosdevia3982]

Thanks Luke hello from Colombia

[@magikdust2095]

The trees look amazing. Very realistic. Great job. I would have liked to see the tree from different angles, and with slow close up... but still a great video... 👍

[@TabletopMachineShop]

I'm probably not going to make a diorama any time soon, but I absolutely love watching your videos!

[@normanrowe2831]

As always, stunning.

[@evanfrank399]

Wow, these gumtrees look a lot better than woodland scenics tree armatures and clump foilage alone!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

so true! That's exactly how I used to make my trees in the beginning. Little did I know back then how versatile the armatures were

[@j3nn4.20]

love the new editing

[@localjedi2468]

Thanks a lot for yet another great video, Luke!!! Very informative and also relaxing to watch while modelling.

[@bernonsalvador4177]

Wow sir it has a special effects now

[@Vedderist]

Awesome as always Luke. All so I liked the new animations. Keep it up mate

[@StevenSmyth]

Torrance Blvd does have a great stand of eucalyptus trees. I know because I lived in Torrance. The eucalyptus in California wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Frank C. Havens planted 8 million of them in Northern California thinking he'd make a killing on the wood. Turns out eucalyptus trees have to be about 100 years old for their wood to of any practical use. California eucalyptus are mostly used for windbreaks or ornamental purposes, like Torrance Blvd. They are nice for that and your models are always cool.

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

Beautiful trees, Luke. I use basically the same process for all kinds of deciduous trees. 👍

[@tomtabor6612]

Looks impressive mate! Love your work

[@nickbarman4145]

Great video as always

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks mate

[@nickbarman4145]

Luke Towan no problem

[@conradsmith9332]

Thanks mate! This is realy helpfull I have this woodland scenic trees at my local hobby shop so I am going to use this

[@whitefordpipeshandmadebymi7238]

Awesome job ! Take care! 😊✌️🇨🇦

[@b2g5_6]

Loved the animations!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol... there's a bit of a mixed response to the animations 😀 I'm glad there are a few who don't mind

[@abhischucky7056]

You r my inspiration luke❤

[@EddVCR]

The koala is a charming touch!

[@abdolkaderhejaze4072]

I love all your jop..thank you

[@andreag.4609]

This is soooo well explained

[@DannyPrada589]

Luke. I don't know if you've heard of an amazing novel written by a colombian nobel prize winner named Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The name of the novel is "100 years of solitude". He created a whole imaginary town, 'Macondo', where all kind of amazing things happen. How awesome it would be if you recreated that town, I'm pretty sure you'd be very famous here in Colombia. Just giving ideas to take your incredible ability to another level, worldwide known. Greetings from Colombia!

[@jamessolacito1611]

Cool stuff luke!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks James😀

[@lasercreation-world1981]

yes I think so too, I'm thrilled👍✌

[@jonathandrain9610]

Great video as always. Simple, but effective. There's probably a good bit of hate for the animations, I think they were fine for the most part. I suggest you keep using them and feel out where they work best, you're trying something new out and we can treat some of this as growing pains. Cheers!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

thanks Jonathan, yeah I'm just doing some experimenting to see if I can add a bit more interest to these shorter style videos. You're spot on in terms of finding the right ratio and where they fit best. Thanks heaps and I hope you continue to enjoy the videos 😀

[@smalllocoguy770]

Yet again you have done an amazing job ive started using your methods on a small layout of mine.

[@alekaa.8786]

is amazing, thx for the video is pure art.

[@ejejeff1722]

Awesome work! it leaves me barking for more.

[@ambargamer4360]

I love Trees 💜💟👨

[@EtobicokeCentralRailways]

Fantastic tutorial as per usual. Final product looks great and I really like the little highlight animations. -Etobicoke Central Railways

[@renzempleo9936]

Thank you for this tutorial.

[@TheOriginalBadger]

Luke....you is da man when it comes to making trees.....have you ever tried doing a Willow tree...........in N scale?

[@gottemleaning8490]

digging the new edit!

[@alexandranevin2005]

Amazing work Luke 😍 loved it and the thought the animations were really cool!

[@sonnydaluz8827]

You videos are great they really help me with my dioramas ! (:

[@TheOriginalBadger]

I thought the animations were whimsical, and I enjoyed them. Not distracting at all. Of course, some people just aren't happy unless they're picking holes in something.

[@jakechubb9187]

So cool man!

[@Luckingsworth]

Loved the video! As for personal opinion and constructive criticism I think most of the smaller effects were really fun and added a lot to the charm of the video. Some of them were a little over the top for my taste though. I echo that you should keep using them and working out where they are best used in the future!
