Model realistic miniature trees easy & low cost

It´s difficult to model a really realistic trunk. Why not let mother nature do the job? In this tutorial we´re combining a twig from the garden with other low cost materials to create a really nice looking miniature tree.
This type of tree is reasonable easy and quick to make and suitable for both model railroad, diorama and miniature terrain rpg style. I build lots of these for my Märklin h0-scale layout. The combination of low cost and quick process is perfect. The combination of polyfiber and leaves can be replaced with readymade foliage to simplify process even further.

Excellent. Going to try it. Thank you very much for the video

[@hansgomoll]

Ein weiteres tolles Tutorial, vielen Dank fürs Zeigen. Klasse die Idee, trockenen Tapetenkleister auf angefeuchtete Watte zu streuen. Das muss ich mir unbedingt merken.

[@philliphealey4233]

great job best i have seen so far thank you

[@karenmusa3052]

Wow, unreal tricks and tips thanku very much..

[@phteo6719]

Excellent refreshing ideas on making model trees. It’s a lot of work especially to create the right proportion and foliage. Have you retry making coconut trees & Palm trees? Thank you for sharing.

[@hoebahnerklingforth6420]

Super gemacht mit einfachen Mitteln weiter so 👍👍👍

[@strange-universe]

beautiful tree! easy to follow instructions. Some ideas on cleaning and maintenance of scenery are of interest to me.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Thank you! Cleaning? Do you have a dust problem, or what kind of maintenace are you thinking about?

[@strange-universe]

@@marklinofsweden Dusting miniatures and landscapes is exactly what I am wondering about :)

[@gvet47]

I like the comment realatively easy method. Well if I was an artist like you it might be. Your project all end well!

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! Hey! Try it! I bet your tree will be great looking. If not.. Make another.. Eventially they will look awesome and anyway one needs many trees, so you must start sometime. The less pretty ones will make a great background scenery 👍😊

[@Ethenheim]

Super Idee

[@josefernandez-yw5kp]

Am going to use a cinnamon stick for my trunk. I've never seen your idea, its pretty good....

[@iheard6888]

So great! Thank you for sharing.

[@Elnufo]

Das sieht nach einer guten idee aus, ich werde die methode einmal ausprobieren, danke.

[@fabianvendrig]

Thank you greetings from the railway fan club in Belgrade, Serbia :-)

[@eugenevachon2702]

OK !!! Thank's Mark and Happy New Year to you and family !

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! Best wishes back from a cold Sweden! 👍😊

[@jorijerstad]

Wow, those trees look amazing! This video was very helpful!

[@xflow79]

Hej Martin! Yet another nice way to build trees! Especially the trick with the gluepowder is great! I think I'm heading to the woods this weekend to get some "raw-material" Thanks for sharing and greets from Austria!

[@rdgk1se3019]

Good work, seeing your video's makes me want to get off of my caboose and work on my layout.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! That is the no:1 purpose with these videos! 👍😊

[@BillySugger1965]

Some great ideas. Don’t like the poly fibre though, might try this with Teloxys. And copper wire might be easier to form to fit the scene than steel wire. Certainly plenty of things to try out, many thanks!

Danke für deine Tipps. Wieder ein tolles Tutorial.

[@geocraftsman]

The tree looks amazing! I think I should try to make one myself.

[@InterCity134]

Very nice Martin. The trick is finding bushes and young trees that have that textured bark when young. I’ve got lots with smooth bark but not so much with rough bark. I’m certainly going to look much more closely (and.bring a pair of nippers) when I walk in the woods next. The use of the wood in the demo, was it green wood or did you let it dry out for months before drilling and gluing? That may affect the drilling and gluing as wood will shrink as it dries out from green if one immediately builds a tree from very fresh wood.

[@JoeG-firehousewhiskey]

That tree came out amazing, thanks for the tutorial

[@SirDizarm]

Question, why do the train pull the carts backwards? Is it so it can pull them over a hill since its stronger that way or why do they do this? Ive seen on videos that they do this irl sometimes but I dont know why. Like always thanks for the awesome tutorial you do Martin!

[@abdonhernandez3177]

bello trabajo, gracias

[@jeffstarcher7960]

Your work is amazing, the best I’ve seen on KZbin… I am a big fan of all your work!

[@donaldmoore8920]

Awesome how to video

[@davidcutts2650]

Wow! Brilliant.

[@apitheous194]

Great video. I witnessed a 45yr old man drill a 1/4 in hole in his hand, yikes. We made a trip to the hospital. 😮

[@marlenealexamder3117]

Thankyouvery much

[@TrainsandDioramas]

Most unconventional tree making video till date! By hey, it works as good as the the other methods. Very well done. Cheers! Kaustav

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you! It’s really hard to be unique at KZbin so I take that as an compliment! 😄

[@artedelpresepediannibaleca3541]

beautiful tutorial congratulations, what did you use for the foliage? Thank you

[@johntyson4428]

Would like to say thank you for videos,which I enjoy together with your style of presentation. In fact I took the unprecedented step of becoming a Patreon to help in some small way to the continuance of them. I've also enjoyed the few trips made to Sweden, Best wishes John

Thank you!

[@wendybrown7068]

I love your videos your brilliant! I've seen as many as I can find and I have a question. Where do the kids in your train town play? Can we see a treehouse?

[@sngyugmss3226]

Amazing trees, I always loved ur vids and i subed

[@schwarzerabt4945]

Sehr schön gemachtes Tutorial 🚂

[@trashtrainpunk1542]

Hans Gomoll is right. The "Tapatenkleister" Idea looks good. I didn´t know, PVA-glue works on Steel wire. I´ll try that. The Idea with the Sand and the blended leaves is good. I have an enormous walnut-tree, the leaves are big and easy to hang up to dry, like in former times the tobacco-leaves. Ill try that.

[@mariapaulaleite3333]

Wonderfull!!!!!!! Perfect!!!!!

[@mgamga9476]

Excellent. Only problem is waist of my coffee. LOL

[@MiserySage]

As always; Excellent video, and great work! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you Larry! Best wishes from cold Sweden! 👍

[@sebradfield]

It looks fantastic. Incredibly real. That said, with all that work what's the point of using a real twig as a starting point? Just to say you did? Surely at that point making the whole thing from wire, or using some other core material would be better, and look just as good for the same amount of work.

[@marilynlamm2425]

This is awesome!

[@roundhousetrainspotting]

Very helpful. 👍

[@Downeastwaves]

Absolutely amazing!!

Thank you Carmilla! So glad to hear you liked the tutorial. Please let me know if there are some topics you’re missing on the channel and I’ll try to cover them in upcoming videos. 👍

good night.... enchanted with your art could you tell me what you used to make the tree crown? ie the foliage gratitude maria light

[@niconico7281]

Fantástico!!! Gracias por estos videos !

[@Gbhmagic]

That is great.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you Paul!

[@LordRusty5]

Wonderful tutorial, Martin. Have you ever reground the dried coffee grounds? I like to grind them again after they dry. It makes them more to scale and still gives a nice texture!

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi John! Thank you for interesting feedback! I’ll have to try that!

[@hallohallo8330]

Endlich wieder ein Video👍

Nice video, thanks! Greetings from Romania :D

[@JacobKampLund]

What do you use the white glue powder for? Is it for decoration or to somehow guide the leaves to the flocking material? Does it become absolutely transparent at some point or will it be somewhat visible like flowers/bloomings?

[@bobg1021]

Wow, you are a master creator with a true artist's eye! I hope you can hep me. I'm struggling to make a realistic beach scene using a light sand from a local beach but when I use scenic cement, Mod Podge or PVA the sand gets quite dark (probably good for the sand close to the ocean but way too dark and wet looking for the bulk of the beach). How can I overcome this problem?

[@reymargallegos4321]

Thank you for your tutorial is very helpful. Where can I get the background?
