Let's make trees! In this video we make trees for the layout using sage brush. They are very time consuming but I think you'll agree that it is time well spent after you see the results.

I'll send you a box of lichen for a box of sage brush. Lichen grown naturally on the hill back of my house. Since we don't have sage brush in TN, I have a Nandena bush which I use for tree armatures after the little red berries fall off. Cheers from eastern TN

Hi ya Jason. As soon as I saw this notification I cranked up the big screen so I wouldn’t miss a thing. Of course you made some of the best trees ever. Lol. And it was nice seeing them installed. I really appreciate the “ airiness “ of them. And the fall colors are great. Plus….. I was beginning to worry for the birds and the squirrels. Now they have a place to hang out. I look forward to your pine tree tutorial. Take care. See ya next time.

Hey Jason, great tutorial. For some additional tips if the accelerator is applied to one surface and the glue to the other the bond will be instantaneous. I like to use backing soda for the accelerator sprinkled over the joint of the non-jell super glue. It bonds instantly, builds up to form a natural seamless transition at the joint and provides additional structural support. It dries white but isn't a problem if you paint the limbs anyway. I use this same technique to repair broken and missing chunks of plastic on almost everything. It can be built up in layers and drilled and sanded and shaped to the original shape. I've repaired broken missing chunks of plastic cabs and smoke stacks on diesel engines. It actually heats up plastic and fuses together making a stronger bond. I've actually seen smoke rise up from the bond somtimes.

Nice work - I use spray adhesive rather than hairspray as the leaf material adheres better and doesn't shed as much over time. If you haven't tried, I'd recommend Scenic Express superleaf material. I also suggest checking out stores for dried plant material (floral dept.) that can be used as your base tree.
@bradleyhendershot4437
@bradleyhendershot4437 Жыл бұрын
I know that hair spray has historically been the tried and true method, but I've always been leery of its retaining adhesion over time, especially if exposed to a bit of dampness. After all, hair spray doesn't remain in hair forever! I've seen other tree-making videos that mist diluted matte medium on the armature prior to sprinkling leaves, and also the use of spray adhesive. What spray adhesive have you tried?
@jonwess6236
@jonwess6236 Жыл бұрын
@@bradleyhendershot4437 - I use 3M Super 77 or 3M General 45 spray adhesive. I may use super hold hairspray after I've attached the foliage just to make sure things hold but don't really think it's necessary.

Depending on what time of the fall it is. Early fall does have some green. Usually the center with leaver dying from outside in. It makes a nice tree and not so monotone.

Yet again, great content I have been building wire trees but I have to admit the Sagebrush will have to be something I will try. The question is where do I buy it? My initial search has not gone well but I am sure guys who use it will drop me a comment on where to get some. I agree the pods with the super trees are a pain removing, left on kills the effect. Thanks for sharing!

This looks like a good method to make realistic trees. Starbond brand CA comes with micro tips which would be very handy for this application. I use Starbond in my wood turning. They have thin, medium and thick viscosities. I have no affiliation with the company.

Nice looking trees, Jason, and a fantastic video! Nice change of pace from your "typical" videos. Rabbit brush - also native to Colorado - also makes nice tree armatures. Two questions: (1) The SuperTrees people recommend sealing the branch material in matte medium or thinned white glue to prevent decomposition of the organic material. Did you do this, and if so, where in the process? (2) Do you notice any skin irritation from spraying the insta-cure accelerator on your bare hands?

Hi Jason, As always your presentations and final product are top of the class. My questions is this, I'm located in the northeast where sagebrush is not local of course. Know of any retailers that sell the stalks you used? I quick Ebay search found nothing.

Jason, the trees look great. One question - Is there a reason you paint/touch-up the armature after you add the foliage? Seems like it might be easier to do it beforehand. Maybe a few quick shots with the airbrush? Also, as others have mentioned, I'm interested in learning where (if) one can purchase the sage brush.
@bradleyhendershot4437
@bradleyhendershot4437 Жыл бұрын
I'm reading the comments, and a big commonality is finding a source for good sagebrush armatures that don't break the pocketbook. If anyone knows of such a source, or has a friend in sagebrush country that may be willing to do some collecting, that would be great.

I notice on some of the close ups that your Supertree branches still have some seeds on them. They grow like weeds in arid dry places, ie NOT Scotland! Might be worth your while, given the size of your layout, trying to grow some. It's not like you're busy or anything!!! ;-) Even here I did manage to grow them, sort of, but cold damp weather killed them off before they became useable.

Why don't you airbrush the trees before you put leaf material on them? That way the entire branch can be painted the same color. I use a dark Grey spray can primer and then mist a tan color over it. Plus where can people get sage brush that doesn't live in a area where they are. Ebay has them but way too expensive. A single branch is around 60$ way too expensive

Love your video. BSI is that short for "Big $windle Industries"? 🙂 Cyanoacrylate(super glue) set when sprayed with ordinary water which naturally always contains hydroxide which is the active molecule in the reaction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate So the rip-off Insta-Set accelerator most likely contains 99% water and some strawberry scent, its kind of an expensive perfume bottle. When I glue stuff and don't have a fine misting spray bottle of water near by, I breath at the joint so the water in my breath sets the glue.
