It's just 100k viewers who are amazed at your talent! 👍

Birch and Aspen are actually two different trees. Birch is from the Betulaceae family while aspen is from the Salixaceae family, the same family as willow trees.

[@moirhann]

WOW!!!! insane... pieces of "dying nature " get a new life .. . You are the most talented modelmaker on YT..No doubt about that! . Congrats with 100K - well deserved :)

But aren't they going to decompose later?

I love that you use inexpensive materials to create masterpieces. Thanx for the info.

Cool, I used bark to make cliffs.

Cool idea!

[@Andriyuha]

Yes, I did too! Come out nicely

[@KassiusFineArt]

@@Andriyuha Do you seal them?

[@markm486]

Very interesting well done 👍

[@spaguettoltd.7933]

Thank you! Just a note from the US, aspens and birches are different types of tree. We have both in the East, at least! They look similar though!

[@holgertacke8160]

Awesome ideas!!! 🎉

[@johanbjorkman1914]

7:47 Those birch trees give me good memories of Abisko and the rail bike that used to be in between a cluster of those kinds of trees.

[@dougsundseth6904]

The US has both Aspen and Birch (which are unrelated species). If you're not a tree guy, they're visually similar, though. Note that Eurasian Aspen (Populus tremula) trees are a relative of the N.A. Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides). European White Birch (Betula tremula) are related to N.A. Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera).

[@badge65]

Another great video mark 👍

[@gerhard6105]

Super. Nice tips. For reed, i use an old brush and cut of the brown brushhairs. For the dragonteeth ( anti-tank obstacles) i made mals and poured real concrete in them.

[@wist112]

Awsome! So simply. Thank you!

[@SadButTrue273]

Honestly, where I live in the US we rarely call them aspen. thank you for another fantastic video. you're like the Bob Ross of miniatures.

[@williambryant5946]

What do y'all call them?

[@thejimmymeister]

Aspens and birches are different kinds of trees. Birches are much, much more common in much of the country, including the East. Aspen trees are more common in the west, especially in mountainous areas.

[@Night-zn4ew]

Astilbi , once the flowers have dried out ( about 2/3 weeks ) they are spot on for trees. I cut mine down every year and box the best ones ready to use.

[@officiallyexhausted5868]

In the last year, I have subscribed to your channel three times. I’m not sure why I keep getting “unsubscribed”. I love your videos! You are so informative and educational. Thank you, Sir.

[@SonaxyBeats]

Love it. Great work. I will do something like That for the scale N.

[@luctoulouse]

Congratulation on your 100K subscribers, well deserved. By the way, no brown amber in your video? Probably the first video without any mentionned of brown amber paint....ha ha ha ha

[@DB--lv6tt]

That's not important! AS long as woodglue is in! ;-)

[@WatchItPaintIt]

Beautiful stuff! I use a lot of your information for Warhammer 40k terrain. A good friend of mine has a large train collection, but unfortunately he won't let me combine our 2 hobbies to make post-apocalyptic terrain for his train set :D

Congratulations on your 100k subscribers! And happy holidays! Funny that you mentioned an IKEA table layout at the end-that's exactly what I have picked for my 1st layout (it's in N scale but it's modern passenger set with a double track, so does need space). Your tips in this video come in very timely, off I go to collect some oak leaves!

[@ElShotte]

Umm, in the US, we call them Birch trees. Never heard Aspen used, at least in the Northeast US (NY/NJ/PA area)

[@phil36310]

Well done and nicely presented as usual! Thanks Martin and happy holidays. Greetings.

[@anthony342]

[@mikeshavlik1828]

I really like the effect of the birch tree. Probably the most realistic looking aspen tree I have seen. I model Colorado mountain landscape and up until now have not been satisfied with any aspen trees but I have seen. Yours are wonderful and I can’t wait to start using that technique

[@normanrowe2831]

Hello Martin. Congratulations on the 100,000 subs. You truly deserve it and many more. As always a great video. Interesting and informative. Nothing better to represent nature, than nature herself. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Here’s hoping 2021 is more gentle on the world.

I've been super enjoying your videos. I have absolutely no interest in trains or model railways but I love dioramas and miniatures, and I just find your process so engaging and fascinating. Additionally, I find your voice super relaxing in the voiceover segments - so much that it induces ASMR! Congratulations on the 100k. Very much deserved. I hope you're able to celebrate and enjoy a fantastic achievement :)

[@christophbuchberger7469]

Great video and very curious about your beginners layout! I feel that might bring back some of the “esprit” and passion that were so characteristic for your earlier productions but which I felt were missing a bit in your last couple of videos, after you had more or less finished working on your own layout. Looks like you got a project, again! 🥳

[@talariarl1235]

excited for the new layout. I'm starting my first layout about this time as well. I have Marklin C track.
