Pine Trees for your layout can be made several different ways, I chose to use furnace filter material, shish ka-bob sticks, paint, hairspray and ground foam.
This was the first time making these trees and it was easier than I thought it would be to do.

Thanks Phillip, right now you are the only Phil that has something positive to say Lol. That other one is 1/8" away from being blocked, again. I blocked someone else this year for the same stupid comments, I think they made a new account just to harass people. I have better things to do with my time than that.

After I disliked his comment here to my comment on your video, he posted some very foul and abusive comments on my latest video so I had to block him. Idiots.

I just did the same to him. As Alfred said to Bruce Wayne, "Some people just want to see the world burn."

Good video, Bob. Thanks for the mention. This is a very popular subject on KZfaq. I think you will get a lot of views here. I look forward to seeing that mountain covered in pines. For that matter, I look forward to seeing MY mountain covered in pines. LOL.

I guess I missed it Bob, what did you use for the trunks?

Thanks again Bob. A couple of things. First, cutting out all those star shapes seems REALLY tedious to me. I seem to recall watching others and they crumpled up the furnace filter and threaded it on, then separated it out a bit (pulling up and down). then trimmed with scissors into a "larger at the bottom", "narrower at the top" and then flocked. Have you tried this method? It seems like it'd go a lot faster. And, around here (Western Canada), the trees aren't necessarily that tall (65' would be very tall) so there are lots of shorter ones. The bamboo skewers look a bit too thick to me but the toothpicks looks too short / skinny. Have you found any material in between? I suppose I could get dowels from the hardware store but that could be a bit expensive. Finally, I've seen others "scratch" the sides of the centra sticks with a fine tooth saw to roughen them up and give more of a bark look. Have you tried that?

I may try not cutting them before putting onto the trunk and trim them after. It all depends on what it ends up looking like I guess, still a lot of snipping to do. I haven't found anything wood wise that is smaller than 1/8" to use that would be strong enough, I guess hand making a wire armature and dipping it in thick paint or rubber would work, but I think it would end up looking to thick and wrong when close up to it. I kind of like trees to be made of wood. Scratching the sides in N scale may be a mute point and very time consuming. HO and up I think it would be required since it is bigger and meant for closer viewing. Something to consider trying sometime.
