That just rocks! Great job!

 

Yep! All super trees. The coarse turf helps with the denseness and you can also intertwine the branches to bring the trees closer together.

Well, I at least hope to enter some shots in the Walthers reference book. We shall see.

 

Update time.

Landscaping has commenced around the bridge.

Heres a shot of the new forest!

 

Also, I worked on a field of some sort of plant(Probably Potatos), on the farm beside the tracks.

Here is the process I used to make the rows of plants.

(1). I used a scrap piece of rail to spread white glue on the empty dirt surface.

 

(2) A mix of coarse and fine ground foam is spread on the glue.

 

(3) The foam is pressed into the glue.

 

(4) Once the glue is dry, excess foam is brushed away from the field.

 

(5) Next I take a toothbrush(Preferably not one you using at the time) and really get rid of and bits of loose foam.

 

(6) And finally, I sprinkle some fresh dirt between the rows.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Your 'homemade' trees are just unbelievable !!! Between your process and O.C. Engineers... I cant see anyone not being able to make trees....Thnxs again... ^5

Sweet looking scenes! Love the thickness of the woods with so relatively few trees. Jamie

 

Very nicely done Caleb.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

 

Great job!!!

Go back 2 or 3 pages in this thread. He goes through the process starting on post #421

 

Thanks guys!

Well, I explain about the trees with the thick trunks here:
