Tall Forest Pine Trees - Model Railroad Scenery

[@josephpowell736]

Super job on the trees. Living in the U.S. “down south” and modeling the L&N railroad. This video will come in very handy. Thanks for your great work.

[@Hey_MikeZeroEcho22P]

OUTSTANDING!!!! I finishing a 1/35 model tank ( modern German AVLB ) and THIS way of making trees is So SUPERIOR!!! I Knew....you train-guys/gals are Always into scenery and admire YOUR skill in producing a Much needed diorama idea!! I Will be using this into Good Usage!!!

[@daviemaclean61]

I shouldn't be amazed by your use of cheap and easy to find materials with a large dash of modelling skill, but you've done it again. Brilliant pines.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+davie maclean Thanks for another great compliment Davie, I try to show my technique so others can copy and replicate it on their models as well. Cheers Luke

[@cbcdesign001]

The wire brush technique to create the bark is amazing Luke.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

yeah, I too was amazed at how it turned out in the final product! Glad you enjoyed it :) Cheers Luke

[@nickgrandy3098]

I see not one single dog...just a ton of raw talent...great vid man...

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+nick grandy ha ha, thanks Nick, what a great compliment :) Cheers Luke

[@rentacowisgoogle]

Everything you make looks so perfectly realistic. I don't know how you do it :)

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lots of practice :) thanks :) Cheers Luke

[@gimiklioptions]

He just showed you how he does it!!! What more can he do to show you???

[@patricklastname5646]

Plenty of practice with tons of material you didn't pay for since you are sponsored ;0)

[@blameusa7082]

rocket hot glue $ 8, balsa sticks $ 3, Spray glue $ 7, Woodlands Turf x 2 $ 14..... He's like in the top 100 richest men alive!

[@RATGUTZZ]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I've been going hobby store to hobby store for hours trying to find realistic trees for my sets and they all, honestly, look awful to me. I adore detail and the little plastic trunks just didn't do it for me. This is extremely helpful and I can't wait to use this technique.

[@brianstraight9333]

Wow Mr. Towan, i just found your videos this afternoon and am utterly blown away by the quality of the videography, modeling, and teaching. You have successfully managed to get me to blow off my responsibilities for another day. My hat goes off to you sir!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Brian Straight lol, I wish I could have a day of no responsibility :) When I don't show up to work I make a lot of people very angry and when I don't show up at home... we'll... lets just say I'd rather deal with the angry people :) thanks for such a fantastic comment! Cheers Luke

[@scottb8945]

I am an artist myself and I would be one that looks for details in those trees and these trees had some of the best detailing I’ve ever seen

[@nqbraun]

I am new to the RR hobby and appreciate the time and help that you give in making these videos. These are very easy to follow and enjoyable as well.

[@vijaybhaskar4861]

I love the simplicity of the idea. I couldn't find the basket liner or coconut fibre so I used a dish washer scrub instead. It was quite difficult to pull them apart to create layers, so I soaked the scrub in water and when it softened, got to work!

[@gilmance4923]

Thank you for a great tutorial. I just made my first four conifers using your methods, and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with the results. Thank you again.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Excellent, that's fantastic! Glad you liked the video and put the techniques to use :) Cheers Luke

[@saltydog888]

Stumbled across your site mate. I'm 52 and built Messerschmitts, German tanks and Junkers when I was a kid. LOL I'm an Aussie! I always marvelled at dioramas and wondered how. This has reconnected me with that. Stoked. Really enjoying it. Thanks.

[@cheryldurham297]

I have never come across such good bark detail before - THANKS SO MUCH!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Cheryl 😊 Glad you liked it

[@hobbyhermit66]

Those dead branches add a lot of realism. Nice video.

[@salaltschul3604]

Man, I can't get over how good that tree trunk looks.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Yeah I was pretty surprised at how well it turned out as well :) Thanks mate. Cheers Luke

[@PowScience]

I've been using your tips for about 2 weeks on a combo HO train/AFX slot car layout...with zombies. Now the parts I've done with your tips are making me realize I have to completely redo the other parts which now look rubbish!! Thanks so much Luke!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol.... At least you can see that you age getting better at your scenery :) I'm glad I've been able to help you with scenery. Cheers Luke

[@thomfroi]

even though I am not a model maker, I absolutely love to see your tutorials!

[@DrKlown]

I don't even make models, I just really enjoy these videos

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+DrKlown That's a great compliment :) I'm glad you enjoy watching. Cheers Luke

[@markhayes6407]

Better looking than furnace filter for leaves. I will definitely use this method. They look great.

[@BroadwaySetmodels]

I'm shook, that steelbrush makes it so realistic!

[@alienheston5748]

You just saved me so much money! I don’t mind the time put into it.

[@ajborowski]

I have no intention of building this stuff. But here I am... fascinated

[@madeleine7377]

Geez… saw your video and was SO INFORMATIVE!! Many Thank You’s the tree trunks did it for ( me )… smiles

[@bobzthecat82]

that tree trunk work is amazing

[@kamencic]

This is awesome. Those trees look so real.

[@LooseGravel14]

Excellent! Best method I’ve seen for creating very realistic trees. A small point, these represent fir trees, pines have a very growth pattern. Thanks for the great video.

[@YudaFaisal]

Nice work Luke! I always admire your works. I followed this particular tutorial of yours for N-scale and I've made about 20 of them. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@rasmus2705]

Your channel is just the nicest thing i've found from youtube this year!

[@virginiafry8991]

I'm liking that coconut fiber....seems like one could make other things with that as well.

[@eks204]

I watch this when i cant sleep. Helps A LOT.

[@edforcer1340]

Hi Luke You've struck modelling gold again. This is another project I will be adopting on my railway. Only saw the dog three times though so no Hall of Fame for me. Thanks for sharing Cheers!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Ed Shunt Thanks mate for such a great comment, good luck with making some trees :) If you want the answers to the dog I posted photos on my website :) you did well! Cheers Luke

[@everonrailways8399]

That tree bark is amazingly realistic! I will try this technique in N scale.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Yeah I was quite impressed at the end result as well. It should work for N scale. Might need a finer brush? Or just go over it a few more times? Good luck :) Cheers Luke

[@dimasaryo6802]

we miss when you make trees or mountains again :)

[@susansuzy45]

everything looks jus real....so lovely N lively

[@Pixel__Hearts]

Thanks for documenting your talent and sharing with us this will be very helpful for school projects

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

The tutorials just keep coming. You make it look so easy. I would never had thought of making the trunk, I would have just used the stick. Another fantastic job.Scott

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Scott Downey lol, thanks Scott, I've seen some other guys make similar trees. Most of them use furnace filter which I don't have access to. I'm glad I stumbled across 'Coconut Fiber'! Cheers Luke

[@Chuck39740]

Outstanding. Most realistic look

[@AndyHeim]

Very good technique! Tried it today and it worked wonderful. Thanks a lot!

[@НинаГодованная]

Потрясающе! Восторг! Браво!

[@ashenwalls3558]

I bet these would work really well for my dollhouse when I come to doing landscaping!

[@boltuss]

TREEMENDOUS luke ..........laurel and hardy would be proud of your lomesome pine tutorial , I love em

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+boltuss2006 lol, thanks mate, they are not too bad on there own but in a big bunch they look great :) Thanks for a great comment :) Cheers Luke

[@andrewgould7002]

Unbelievable, i am going to try this this weekend, thank you so much for the tips, fabulous work

[@briceandreasson7046]

easiest ways ive seen to make trees. Great idea!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, trees can get expensive so it's good to know there are cheap ways of making trees that also look pretty good 😊 Cheers Luke

[@Jimnyma]

That method will work great on my Lumber mill area and the surrounding area. I could use the info on making the tree trunk to produce fallen and ready for the mill logs!Thanks so much Luke on another great tutorial, you are genius with this stuff!!!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks Jimmy, I had a thought of making enough logs to fill a log car which I guess is similar to your idea :) These would look great in an old logging mill. Cheers Luke

[@Aprilcutlerr]

I love realistic sets. I'm the type of person who likes Schleich and Safari LTD. this is ideal for a forest scene for my wolves and cats.

[@snappletons7099]

Can't express how much I love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Snappleton S Thanks mate, I'm glad you're enjoying them :) Cheers Luke

[@the10thleper]

Nice, well presented. Looking forward to try this. The tree trunk and wire brush is perfect. Thank you.

[@spartan456]

You're like the Bob Ross of 3D scale models.

[@hanielulises841]

spartan456 true 😂

[@aanler]

Yet.

[@inaquianallforce4042]

It feels very "old-school PBS" doesn't out?

[@lancev.o8052]

Yes!

[@steffenrosmus1864]

Yes the results are as poor as the ones of Bob🤮

[@mountain-roots]

This video is a gem to me and i can't thank you enough.

[@shurikalanbogov]

Amazing! It is very similar to the real tree. You have a great talent. Your mind and hands synchronized for beautiful things.

[@ApriliaRSV4F]

Yesterday I decided to build a paint shaker and build a bridge, now it looks like building a few trees would also be a good idea. I guess I may as well start building dioramas.

[@sonalmohite8550]

Such a beautiful model done. I dnt knw wts there to dislike n ths. Crazy People who dislike. Man Ur grt hats off

[@bastago01]

Fantastic I fell in love with this method with coconut fiber very good tutorial thanks for sharing it 👍👏👏👏

[@onthewater4020]

You are my new favourite KZbin channel. You rock.

[@seanmartin8944]

i was thinking "man that's a little hard on the brush" but when the primer went on... wow! great vid

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Sean Martin thanks Sean, it took me a while to get the confidence to hit the tree that much with the wire brush! Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Luke

[@roblink4781]

Absolutely fantastic, these will definitely come in handy on a diorama I'm working on...

[@xayfong9813]

I enjoy watching your videos luke towan

[@facuorona7221]

I watched the vídeo for the tutorial and at the ending I remembered the collies and I watched again lol. nice video ! great looking trees

[@bigsparky65]

[@the4000class]

WOW!!! Thank you for the videos. Finally a source for affordable model railroad scenery ideas. I'm so excited I found this Channel

[@renees766]

That looks fantastic! I was so enthralled with watching you create that I never saw even ONE dog lol

[@jesusmontemayor5260]

I must admit that I have seen many videos to create trees, to see the video from the beginning thought stop, material usage ne suggested that there would be a good result, you made me eat my words, I congratulate was a great job without I'll certainly try

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate :) Sometimes the most unlikely materials make the best models! Thanks for the great comment. Cheers Luke

[@danbytp]

I'm modeling Onslow County, NC.This EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!

[@Bobolots]

lots of pine in Onslow Co.!

[@danbytp]

@@Bobolots I was stationed at Camp Lejuene outside Jackson , NC and fell in love with the area and coastal NC.

[@leswall6293]

You make things look so easy , really good watching (UK)

[@daveogarf]

GREAT JOB! Trunks look just incredible! Background music is PERFECT! Totally BONZER!

[@jordyr2262]

Love to see a video about you personally - like how did you get into modelling? and what the best one you've done?

[@11FrenchFry]

I will never make a model tree. But dangit if these videos arent fun to watch

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Quick lol, you never know... one day when you least think, you might need to make a tree..... thanks heaps and thanks for enjoying the videos :) Cheers Luke

[@kamencic]

Quick, I fill the same.

[@MadR6]

I agree, never gonna do anything Luke teaches, but they are very relaxing to watch

[@thelittlestmig3394]

This is almost like watching Bob Ross. Except you make beautiful trees and worlds instead of painting beautiful pictures of them.

[@brenoklein3586]

Quick só que não neee

[@simonwallace-tarry355]

Thanks Luke, in the process of making some now. Cheers for the videos, so good.

[@shayfarley7253]

LOL dog? once again, you've blown my mind mate. They look freakin awesome. The easiest construction even I can follow!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+shay farley Thanks Shay, I'm glad you like it and feel like you'll be able to build them yourself. Cheers Luke

[@oajh2252]

Hi Luke your tutorials are awesome, I don't make model railways but your tutorials are fantastic for dioramas for scale models thanks!

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Thanks mate, it's good to see guys applying the techniques across multiple scales. Thanks for the great comment :) Cheers Luke

[@aiccu]

This is great tutoring. Why buy plastic rubbish when you could use natural material. Thank you for sharing. 👍

[@zackaryswift7572]

I’d love to see a wasteland diorama with these trees before the green. But they look amazing finished!

[@tamilarasisubramanian1219]

U are really amazing friend... U'r works are very realistic & wonderful...

[@furbarator]

Beautiful work, you are an outstanding teacher.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

Pretty slick what you did with the dog in the end. Pretty much guarantees a rewatch. This is a very entertaining video. Thanks for allowing a peek into your world. It was fun.

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

lol, yeah I tried to add a little bit of entertainment to the video :) Glad you liked the video :) Cheers Luke

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

Trunk sure turned out nice

[@BoulderCreekRailroad]

+Nick's Train Hobby Channel Thanks Nick, I was actually quite amazed at how well it turned out the first time I made the trunk! Cheers Luke

[@TheVeryLastHippy]

I use bamboo, carved to get rid of the smooth edge, for my trunks. They have a natural hole for the skewer and pin. Not sure you would get as nice a bark texture as the one in this vid though. Loving these videos

[@fuzzy4461]

Awesome method, would never have thought of it.
