How to Make Trees and Shrubs
Some other kind of trees. More specific growing in cities/along streets. They are less wide as "common"trees. It's a type of tree that ends, in latin, with: , "fastigiata" because I don't have a "city"diorama I've placed the trees in a row on a piece of "wild nature" and of course always... -
[H0] L-Shaped layout project

How to Make Trees and Shrubs
@Lynnb: " what lengths please" Start with some 1 mm and the second layer are the 12 mm fibres. The 1 mm ones can be darker or even Brown... as a base. I can imagine that sometimes the colour of dry grass or hay or burnt grass is a better choise. It is up to you to decide/ how it works/ looks on... -

Ho Scale CP Layout Build, A Continuous Thread
The trees are too 4- 5 inches tall( 10 - 13 cm) Taler is no problem. I made some of 8 inches( 20 cm) They " got" 3 layers of the 12 mm fibres. Before adding the fine turf the shape of the tree needs a litlle bit of correction= with sharp scissor cutting the base a litlle bit smaller. I am from...- grove den

Ho Scale CP Layout Build, A Continuous Thread
I read something about "trees"...:) May be making them yourself? You "only" need an electrostatic grasmaster . Also a piece of a floristic wire ,some long - 12 mm, and shorter , 4 mm ,fibres and some fine turf from Woodland you can make some quite realistic pine/fir/spruce tree. 4-5 inches...- grove den

First Spruce for the Forest
Hello guy, just a question about how you add the fine turf... Do you use a strainer that will keep/sift the "bigger "particels of the turf from the smaller ones? The smaller ones will look more like neeedles! When adding without a strainer, just out of the box I think it looks still to... -
First Spruce for the Forest
Those first spruce trees are not bad at all! Did you consider to use some 12 Fibres and 2 mm on the brances and finaly add some fine turf? Just add with a strainer and use sprayglue to fix the fibres on the small end of the wires. Before adding the fibres spray the frame with a darkgree/olive... -
