The ultimate realistic wire tree: making an awesome diorama

[@_RandomPea]

I love that idea of the loop for the end of the branch, I hadn't seen that before, and immediately can see that would be useful addition to my process. Thanks for this... 5 years ago 😂... Ive been using PVA with tile grout for the bark. Seems to work well.

[@ImperialKneazle]

Thank you so much for showing us how to make fantastic trees - and you're right they are the ultimate in realism.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Glad you found it useful and enjoyed it 😊

[@TrainsandDioramas]

Great tree. Love how you focused on the crawlers and bark details rather than the branches and leaves. Great way to model dead or dying tree.

[@RicheUK]

Well, you’re not going to get more realistic than that, great work

[@annewebbjohnson4157]

very educational, thank you. super job and so realistic , first time I have been on your site. Will be back.

[@eighmie27]

In a word........ BRILLIANT!

[@MladejjBlbejj]

thank you! this is exactly what I needed for my witch house

[@briantaylor5259]

Just an alternative to the milliput but liquid latex is a great way to cover the main body of the tree, it allows you to keep the texture of the wire allowing for that old knarled look while staying flexible even after it dries, it does take paint well and if your doing large amounts of these trees works out cheaper. Apart from that, great video and a very realistic looking tree at the end, thanks.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks. I've used latex before. For this tree I was after something carvable, for bark texture, so.i went with the Milliput. Latex is great, though.

[@jeffreykeffer4352]

YAY!!! You said it !!! Love your videos Merrick keep up the amazing content .. and hope you kick that cold soon

[@EmdeeScaleModels]

Fantastic tutorial. Pre-made trees are so expensive and not that good. As a budget diorama builder, I love this! Also, as a Brit living in the US, it’s nice to hear a familiar accent! 🇬🇧👍🏾

[@thomasrand4038]

Best realistic tree ive found to make! I going to try this to a diorama im making but im going to make a large twig to make the base. Really like how you did the grass:)))

[@philRminiatures]

Outstanding work, details on the tree trunk are wonderful...Have to try it!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

You make it look so easy..........it isn't - lol! Great video 👍

Hi Merrick, another extremely interesting video. I always enjoy watching your videos! Brenda

[@030corpetlouvet]

Super work.

[@alexbrazviana]

Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing a bit of your skills with us. I've see some people coating the tree with maskol, but then the tree gets flexible. Your technique of using milliput is far better, definitely more realistic. Congrats. Alex

[@swupel3622]

This time it’s even better than a 3D model the texture looks so real ! Ps I’m happy About the voice over videos (There just a bit more exciting)

[@kayleeleanne8364]

For whatever reason i didnt get the pun earlier even though i knew i clicked on a tree video and it wasn't until 75% if the way through that i understood😂😂

[@kayleeleanne8364]

I've recently found this and i love the videos! I like sped up videos with just music or full length videos with you talking over it. Just my personal opinion i get bored with just music but i have a short attention spand. Just a little opinion from a fan idk if it will resonate with other viewers but oh well. Still going to watch these instead of sleeping!

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting point and I will think about it! 😊

[@ErdalK]

Amazing work. Well done..

[@josieber8032]

your tutorial was great the best I have seen and your voice was easy to understand I have trouble following some because they talk to loud, to much and to fast and their accent is hard for me to follow

[@stellacignano6553]

Che bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍

[@abstractcreations246]

Great!

[@TheBlackFrog79]

Awesome! But...it's better to carve textures on the trunk before attaching the branches.

[@ChrisCo500]

Ever thought about growing your own Seafoam seeds available on the Internet for a few quid

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

I have, but I haven't done it yet. Tbh, I like the weeds better 😊

[@mariebeafknlady5808]

I’ve never heard of milliput I’m in the US. I’m assuming it’s called the same here? I’m making decor for my wedding and this was a huge help!

[@normanrowe2831]

The music is too loud. It's just not necessary. That being said...as always, another great tutorial. Thanks.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

I think it's a case of my voice being a bit broken 😫 😊

I also like the music

[@mdweddingplanner]

Hi, just finding your tree build. Love it. I do Christmas villages and wanted realistic trees. How long does the hold u with the organic twigs on it? Thanks

[@LeonidasLost480]

Gulp!!!, puke, Brilliant. Another thing I'm inadequate at lol

[@silkcustoms520]

Looks Great but a lot of work. why not use Sage Bush branches. Most realistic trees out there.

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Not really available over here. There are lots of ways of making trees, but Sage is very good!

[@steveford5763]

Beautiful work....gonna give your method a try..... what state do you live in you got weed branches like that ? I am in houston and have not seen any like that..... I would but some from you.........

I live in England 😊

[@medog22]

Maybe you need to get out of the city. :) There are lots of trees, shrubs everywhere in the country. If you're using a really small scale, certain dried weed stems and roots look good.

[@autothots7773]

Hey High Eye, I had a question. Do you make dioramas as a living? If so can you tell me how you do?

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

No, I don't. It's tough finding the time to do them, to be honest!

[@autothots7773]

@@HighEyeWorkshop I've been trying to start some type of career involving dioramas. I've become really fond of them. Watching your videos to try to help my skills. Do you know how or what path to go along?

I really don't know, except to show people how you make them on KZbin

[@autothots7773]

@@HighEyeWorkshop ok. Thank you very much for the info. I'll continue to watch your vids. Thank you for the tutorials!

[@petarknezovic9447]

Could I use a regular air drying clay for this or Fimo?

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

Fimo would be ok, but expensive

[@missjoblue7992]

Can I use Blu Tak instead of the milliput?

[@HighEyeWorkshop]

No, Mulliput gardens as it is an epoxy.

[@Dug6666666]

I suggest everyone wear gloves with epoxy. It is too easy to become sensitized to it even if you have no immediate reaction. Once that happens you will get a skin reaction to it just being in the same room as it fumes.

[@javaaldhika4579]

good job ?

[@sam-zd6um]

I can hardly hear anything you're saying. Get rid of the music (or have it very low) and move your mic closer or invest in a better one. Other than that, the video is great

To make? About £3
