Hey good folks! I really hope you like this tutorial video where I go through how I crafted some pretty amazing looking fantasy style trees. I had a blast making this and I hope that comes through! Stay safe and lots of love! 💙💛💙🤘

From a model railroader the secret to seafoam trees (per the Supertrees instructions) is a dilute matte medium soak (7:1 water:MM). It lends them a lot of suppleness and also allows you to reshape them a little bit if needed.

A good tip for making bendable vines for hanging from tree branches: coat lengths of cotton, jute, or butchers twine with brown silicone and then roll in loose coco coir til covered. Let dry completely and wear gloves bc its very messy! I think they make perfect wild grape vines. I've made many backgrounds for reptile tanks using this and they hold up very well

What cute little trees! That's always the problem, with gaming trees; real trees are often around 100' (30.5m) tall. In D&D terms, that's 20" (51cm) tall. Whilst gaming, we'd not be able to see anything on the table. That said, yours are very majestic, and look rad as heck. Super nice

@torvidfant5168 3 жыл бұрын

Lovely. And very enjoyable video to watch. The end result looks a lot like an oak! I think some minor improvements could be to have one or two smaller dead parts of the tree (like a dead branch), since old oaks will often have those. And then it would also make sense to have an (or a couple of) old dead branch(es) that at some point came off be lying on the ground. Not that it has to be super realistic like that. But that is the image that comes to my mind when thinking about old oaks. In any case, very pretty trees.

One thing, I saw another guy cut up a green scotch pad to use as a base for the leaves and he then covered it with the green turf. That would probably be sturdier and not as fragile as the seafoam trees. Might give it a try sometime. But great trees and great video!

@@DevsDice okay so imagine that the off shoot branch has a male end... tooth pick that will slide into a small coffee straw... the main branch of the tree.

Hey Grigør Pyrok! Yeah as a base I would add it to the end but that being said. It depends. If you are looking into making really frozen, then I would potentially let it influence me in the painting stages i.e. introduce some blues and colder colors. But as a base, yeah snow flock at the end. 👍

@@DevsDice alright thank you very much! One last thing, in your other video about forest scatter terrain you use about 12-14 inches long aluminum wires to then twist in half and start modeling the trees... how long are they in this one to make it in that big of a scale? I was about to start making some terrain for my wargaming group and I will for sure use this vid as inspiration

@DevsDice 3 жыл бұрын

I think the largest one ended up being something like 14-16 inches. That being said, it depends entirely how you use the length i.e. how many twists and turns you do. Hope that gives you some sort of direction! 👍

This is awesome. Just a thought from my 30 years of experience is that plaster is cheaper to fill out the trees instead of clay. It is much lighter to, not super heavy like clay.

You can also use mod podge to lock in the plaster to harden and protect it.

need stronger, but good work. i guess they wont store well and could get damaged in a short time. foliage is always tricky. i just made some trees and getting it to seal was very difficult. but they cost an arm and a leg from the shop!

Yeah thinking about making a video about some simple and more durable trees that can still add some flavor to my tabletop. Like I said in the video, these are delicate and yeah should be handled with some care. :)

What size wire? I bought what I thought you sad said and one wire is too thick almost to work with

@DevsDice 3 жыл бұрын

So I used 3mm and 1mm aluminum wire. Very important that it's aluminum because I have tried working with steel wiring and it IS impossible, well isch. Hope that solves the issue, if not then ping me again and I shall see what I can do to help! 👍
