How to Make Trees and Shrubs

[747flier]

An explanation of how I add the branches made from mono filament fishing line, either glued in a hole or passed all the way through the trunk. The branches have a piece layer across them and glued, then trimmed leaving forked branch.

Thanks for the explanation Tom!

Spruce in 1:16 scale for a customer :
The lower 1/2 part of the tree made of separate branches glued to a dowel.
Branches were already "greened"with fibres. 12, 10 and finaly the needles 2 mm ones.
When ready this Norway spruce will be covered with"( a lot of) "snow" so I do not have to bother about the dtails of the branches and trunk because they wont be visable.

the branches with their first layer of fibres( 12 mm)

about 8 inches( 20 cm) so far.....

I don't have a preiserman in scale 1:16 so instead a H0 person.....

The large scale trees have come out quite convincing!

This time a smaller one :
a "blue spruce "for H0 scale medium high and for N scale high!
Needles are made of 0.5 mm fibres.
The Preiserman is about 21 mm. Tree itself= 157 mm/ 6 inches

Same type of tree and frame building.. only this time I used sieved fine turf weeds over the "branches" as imm. needles.
lIt ooks more"chunky"?? than the 0.5 mm fibres.

Very nice results with 0,5mm fibers (i didn't know it existed).
Im very impressed by the position of the fibers on the branch I never obtained such a good result! Tips are welcome
