Model Oak Trees

[@jamedmurphy4468]

This and Luke towans channel are the most engaging and enjoyable model railroading channels on KZbin

[@bezalel5421]

Also Jason Jenson Trains is a fantastic channel.

The idea of using a hacksaw blade to texture a clay trunk is amazing. I've been building tree trunks using grout and glue for years, and never once got a texture half as good as that. Well done, sir.

[@w.rustylane5650]

I use my razor saw blade to add texture to tree trunks. Thanks for another great video tutorial. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

What perfect timing! My husband said this morning that he wanted a few trees for his warhammer table, then tonight I get a notification for this video. I have watched a number of tree making tutorials before, and made several, but I had never seen your foliage method before. Its very good and I really like how it turned out! We will have to try it.

[@Schmiddko]

Really good looking Tree! Thanks for the detailed instruction.

[@andrewpalm2103]

Very instructive and inspiring, indeed! Cheers from Wisconsin.

[@valborchardt3596]

Stunning, what a fabulous tree. Thank you dear for taking the time to show us.....you take care and be safe in this crazy world....from South Africa

[@jamesbrookes6298]

Briliant. As all your tutorials are. I wish i had your skill's. Thank you for all your help you are a massive inspiration to keep me tryin to get my layout as good as yours. LOL. I know thats never goin to happen but il keep trying as you so inspire me to. Keep up your top tutorial videos. But take care & stay safe. Jim in the UK.

[@nails6365]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos !

[@jontaylor1652]

I love these trees, excellent work.

[@johnkelley9877]

This was a great tutorial and the tree is very realistic! Thanks for sharing this.

[@Marienthal1956]

Super tuto, thank you😊👌👍 greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies]

One of the best model trees I have ever seen. The use of 12mm static grass for the minor branches is inspired!

[@vibekestronstad7859]

Congratulations on 100k🎉🎉🎉

[@LordRusty5]

Bravo, Martin! Another great tutorial, and another neat tree!

[@edhendrix6848]

Really great Martin, i'm shure that i'm going tot use this method.👍👍 What a stunnig result👌 Ed 🇳🇱

Very good work. Congratulations.

[@mercedes_and_more]

Fantastic! So simple yet so effective 👍👍

[@sennayamaha]

Very inspiring sir. Big solute for the creator.

[@bevsartsandcrafts715]

That tree is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ricksavaiano5640]

As always another project looks great. One suggestion, use Superleaf material instead of the turf.

[@jessehaenen5915]

Really good video! Your videos really helped me getting better at building models. Especially your techniques of building stuff from styrofoam. Keep up the excellent work! Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@adkest9914]

Very nicely done --> greetings from the Netherlands.

[@ErzgebirgsMoBaHO]

Hello. You showed that very nicely. Hasn't the tree gotten a little too thick? I liked the structure of the trunk very much. Greetings Tino

[@alcopower5710]

Simply outstanding 👍

[@pwissink1]

A nice happy oak tree in the Netherlands. I miss the red, white and blue flag on the ship😊

Thank you so much, always detail

[@Bluwaffle10]

Love the videos keep it up.

[@hendrahen3135]

Wow it's amazing

[@liztheig]

Love watching your videos. Amazingly realistic! You’ve inspired me to create a mixed media canvas using your toilet paper and water technique. With that said, how would you create the suckers on an octopus arm? I want to make an octopus in water.

[@Zeisslermusic]

Woow this is total nice 🇩🇰

[@normanrowe2831]

Magnificent! Thanks.

[@johanbjorkman1914]

Is there a kind of snow effect that won't ruin my trains and is easy to clean.

[@SimonTog]

Very well done work :)

[@Nik2691990]

Masterpiece

[@Shoobylives]

What diameter wire would you use for "N" scale, and is this technique practical for such a small scale? Otherwise a very good tutorial, like all of your others.

[@drpeterpunch765]

Thank you Mark, another excellent video. Could you please confirm the size of the wire in millimetres?

[@scottpecorino6320]

There is a song Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree

[@wamgoc]

love it!

👍🏻👍🏻

[@FourDollaRacing]

I like mimosa with my brunches! 😁😂🤣😊

[@Thomas-ld1fm]

Well done, Did you do a video on building the boat and the canal? I am very interested in the way that you do water.

[@williambryant5946]

He has a few videos about modeling water. Look in his playlist section to find them easier. He uses toilet paper in one video to make water.

[@jamedmurphy4468]

Toilet paper for everything Lol

[@MKempICI]

Whenever I need to wash something with as many tiny surfaces as these trees, I use a commercial spray bottle to mix and apply the wash. The recipe/procedure is below: You will need: - 1 Commercial spray bottle. Get one with clear sides. - 2 parts water. If you have bubble/clumping issues with your washes, try distilled water. If you do not have easy access to distilled water, head to an auto shop, and ask for deionized water for batteries. - 1 part Pledge Floor Shine. Basically, acrylic gloss medium. If Pledge Floor Shine is not available in your area, you can use almost any acrylic floor wax. They are all basically gloss medium. - Acrylic ink according to taste. Mix the water and the PFS, and stir gently. Avoid creating bubbles. Add ink slowly. You can see how dark a residue your wash will leave by tilting the container to the side a bit, then back to horizontal. Look at the liquid that is flowing down the side of the container. That is the color your wash will leave behind on a surface. Go light with the ink rather than heavy. Another coat will only require waiting 10 minutes or so. Run this color-check before you add the flow improver, as the flow-improver will make it impossible to run this test. - 3-4 drops of Finish Jet Dry. If Finish Jet Dry is not available, look for some liquid designed to prevent spots in dishwashers. This is a flow-improver, that breaks the surface tension of water. it will prevent the wash from beading, and even out the coat. Stir gently, or slowly rotate the bottle to mix. You want to avoid bubbles. Spray on the wash, wait 10 minutes or so, and apply your next coat. Seal the piece with a matte varnish to kill the shine.

Yayy new videoo!

Top 👍

[@Redemption45-47]

is it necessary to add the sand if it's going to be covered up with clay

[@factoriamarciana3757]

He uses it to improve the grip of the clay to the wire

[@mike43068]

I was wondering that myself.

[@heathertaylor-willockx3632]

It is really hard to get the clay to stick to the wires generally. I can see how adding the sand (and even just the glue) will make that easier.

[@Redemption45-47]

Makes perfect sense thanks for the heads up

[@plopnl1]

My 8yo son would like to see you make a sailboat

[@Caradepato]

Hmmm... this would work very well to make pinheiro manso (Pinheträd)... Just need to figure out how to texture the bark.

[@qamarabbasofficialchannel1713]

Nice video pakistan you

[@tatonogueira8205]

Hello l love your work!!! Could you show how you do to people, l don’t know if you have any video or if you buy them made. A greeting and thanks.

[@simontheplantsman]

This does have the appearance of a Cedar rather than an Oak but who am I?

[@jimmccorison]

It pretty well matches the oak trees, and especially the Gary Oaks, that we have here in the Pacific Northwest. Cedar trees, at least here, are mostly vertical with much smaller branches in relationship to the trunk size.

[@ceciliacampos3194]

Thank you for the tutorial. I'm not sure if I like the tree, while the shape is good the finished tree with the static grass on the branches make it look like a swamp tree, it really does not tells me that is an oak tree. I'm disappointed because you always have great results.

[@williambryant5946]

In different parts of the world trees look different as there are different species of in this case oak. So this might be a perfect example of an oak tree in his part of the world. You got to think about that. 👍

[@ceciliacampos3194]

@@williambryant5946 Well...maybe. I think the issue with this tree is the concentration of leaves on the trunk unions and not at the end of the limbs.

[@heathertaylor-willockx3632]

@@ceciliacampos3194 You could probably concentrate the leaves where you prefer them fairly easily by being careful with the glue. The spray adhesive might just make that more difficult. I haven't tried this foliage method before, but the gradual build up of different thicknesses looks a lot better than the models I have done. I see a lot of potential.

[@williambryant5946]

@@ceciliacampos3194 ok I see what u r saying now. IDK

[@ceciliacampos3194]

@@heathertaylor-willockx3632 I agree with you, the potential for this method is great. I will try it myself on trees I'm making for my Nativity.

[@MangleBurble]

I cannot quite work out what the wore thickness he says is. Can anyone help my elderly ears with the diameter please? X

[@adrianhoward284]

wire thickness, he said 0.3mm, 300th inch.

[@DB--lv6tt]

Maybe I'm one of the bad guys... 🤔

[@BillySugger1965]

0.0mm diameter steel wire, eh? I think I have plenty of that lying around 😂. If it’s three hundredths of an inch (0.030”) then that’s 0.8mm, not 0.0mm 👍

[@andywolf3205]

I beg your pardon, but this "product" does not look like an Oak at all.

[@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies]

It looks exactly like a classic old European Oak tree. Traditionally over the countries they are pruned - in such a manner - so as much thicker trunks and branches expand to create their bulky look. I live in Ireland and this looks identical to the 300 year old ones I am looking out my window at right now. They may be different where you live and MoS made this point in the video at the start.
