- Detailed guide DIY how-to model very realistic spruce trees easy in H0-scale for model railroad, diorama, RPG or table top fantasy. This guide applies specificly to the Canadian "Black Spruce" and "Norwegian Spruce" tree, which both are members of the conifer family of trees, but has a specific look. The latin name for the Norwegian spruce is 'Picea Abies'. These type of trees grows commonly in the northen hemisphere (Canada, Northen Europe, Finland, Russia, Ukrain etc..)
These spruce trees are commonly also called Evergreens, Conifers, Fir trees, but those do actually differ significantly in look compared to this tree.

Brilliant and clever. Thank you, Will give it a go.
Very instructive video with usefull information. It always looks so simple when its done by you. Thanks for sharing your tips and trick with us. Regards Bert from the Netherlands.
Those look great, I have never seen that meathod before
Genial^^ - Congratulations^^ - das werde ich über die kommenden Feiertage ausprobieren!!!
Great and interessting work. Tanks für showing. cu lui
Made today 4 of them, very cool method, they look perfect!
Always an interesting watch - thank you :)
I’ve noticed all you guys are having some sort of competition, to me anyway, with building trees like those. I’ve seen several new methods I’ve never seen. I had given first place to another guy but with this, Mark has moved into first place for most realistic trees. Great job buddy!!
Thank you! There are more things you can do with this method and get ever further in the direction of perfection. 1) Taper the top piece. Makes drilling harder, but pays off in realism. 2) Add more than one layer with static grass. Makes the foliage more dense. 3) Add a layer of 2mm static grass over all before adding the turf 4) Sprinkle coffie grounds over the glue covered trunk before spraying it brown. 5) Add moss on the trunk north side using WS Burnt Grass. Good luck! 👍❤️
@@marklinofsweden For nr.1 Drill the holes before tapering, even the top one.
Looks great ! But wouldnt hairspray work faster than white glue. Anyway nice video, as always !
Thank you for the positive feedback! 👍😊 I have tried hairspray in a number of applications including foliage application. However, I found it is not tacky enough, so the foliage is falling off over time. This method works real good! 👍
Wonderful. Of all the spruce trees I've seen I think these have the best effort-to-result ratio. They seem like something it would be possible to make a few dozen of without wanting to die by the time you're halfway through.
It is a good thing Martin!!! And thanks again
Like you I'm living in Sweden, but no shops near where I live have brown spray paint. Which brand and product numbers do you use? Can you order them online?
you are a great modeler and I hope one day I can be half as good as you. thanks for the english versions of your videos. I look forward to seeing your new videos most out of all the subscriptions I have on youtube.
Haha! Precis vad jag behövde! Håller på med en modul som ca 50% ska vara skog! Gott med tutorials på tallar men inte lika många på granar! Tack för videon!
Very well done. Thank you.
I just need to start my layout again. I was given a collection from the 70s from an uncle and have and had some intersting models, for instance I have an Italian made "Baltimore and Ohio" 0-4-0 saddle tank loco and a partial "spirit of 76" set. I also love scale model scenery building videos
thanks , this is for my inspiration
Wish I lived somewhere I had access to specialty materials like static grass and the like.
So.. Where do you live?
@@marklinofsweden Oh, just a small town in western Canada. I can always order materiald online if need be, but it would be nice to be able to try out these techniques right away!
Nice tree - looks pretty easy to build. I really like the way you bring variations in your branches to make them look more believable. Have you ever thought of tapering the trunk towards the top?
Thank you for the positive feedback! Tapering? Yes. Actually it’s real easy just be keeping the pointy side of the flower stick as it is, just flatten it enough to allow for drilling.
@@marklinofsweden You can use a pencil sharpener for the tapering.
Hi Martin! Great Tutorial! I have two questions:
what is the thickness of The wooden stick (trunk) ?
And which product have you used as green turf?
Hi Di, The thickness of the wooden stick can be 3 or 4mm. I´m using Woodland Scenics "Green Blend" in the video, but I wouldn´t recommend that. This because it contains yellow particles like flowers and it is not all right. Look for a completly green turf. Check out noch.de
Great thanks Your a great ideas
👍👍very realistic trees. Cool.😎
Good stuff , I imagine if you don't have a vertical drill , those holes could be a pain to make .
It looks like you could maybe twist the wire around to make the branches ?
Just use a Dremel. It's easy. It wouldn't look good with the wire twisted around the trunk.
Kan du göra en video på de äldre märklinmodellerna då jag skulle vilja lära mig mer om 6021 control unit
Jag har tyvärr ingen sådan kontroll, så jag kan inte göra någon sådan video. Sök på Google. Det finns många både webbsidor och filmer om 6021
Amazing tutorial! Where did you get the conveyor belt at 5:12? I'm looking for one of those.
It’s a kit from Walthers Cornerstone. Search for ”Conveyer” and you should find it there
Good result and interesting technique. I havent got a static grass machine though. Is there another way to do it ?.
Thank you James! No, I do think you need some kind of static electricity going on. I tried without, but then all fibers stucks flat on to the trunk and branches. Looked ugly.
Another excellent tutorial. Always original. Always great results. More please.
Thank you Norman! More is coming..
Ha I like the tutorial! Can you estimate how much it costs in total to make these trees??
Thank you! Well.. Let me see here... Flower support sticks €0,4/ea + A portion of PVA-glue €0,1/ea + Steel wire 1m €0,1 + Static grass €1/ea + Green turf €1/ea + Spray paint brown and gray €0,5/ea. Should sum up to €3,10/ea if you make 30pcs spruce trees.
I love watching your videos. I don't use trains but I do build scale Gunpla models from the Gundam anime's based in Japan. I recently started making dioramas for them. I have found your channel informative and entertaining. Thank you.
Och går det att använda gammal m räls med de nya central station kontrollerna
Ja. Det går utmärkt.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
super liebe grüße von Sylt
Great tutorial. Is that based on this video th-cam.com/video/0RaOY43TDAA/w-d-xo.html ? I tried in the past to make one tree in O scale, but I wasn't very happy with the result.
The hair dryer trick is excellent, I will use it next time.
Your trees look better, even if I'm not sure that it scale up nicely to 1/43.5
What is the type of turf used?
By the way, I'm using a similar steel wire, but the one I found in Germany is also available already blackened. It is less visible than steel color if some part isn't fully painted.
Well, Martin, I gave it a go and built three cypress trees.
All the florist wire branches were pointed upwards. Then after the static fibres application I directed the blow-dryer from bottom to top.
Didn't have any dark green fine turf to put on, so I used a WS earth blend, followed by a sprinkling of medium size dark green ground foam. This gives an illusion of old growth underneath and is rather realistic.
The second two trees are made with just the one layer of fine sized earth blend and then sprayed with dark green. I used a spray can of dark green (RAL 6002). The effect is the same, however the texture is finer and airier.
To conclude all three trees were sprayed with a matt acrylic, again from a can.
So thank you for a great (and flexible!) idea and your lovely and clear tutorial. All the best, from Slovenia. And yes I am smiling.
Full of skills, nevertheless easygoing and possible to reproduce all items.
Thanks
Felicidades gracias!
Bravo, Martin! Well done. I like the look!
Thank you John!
Hej, jag har en järnväg hemma HO M-räls men har börjat fundera på de nya digitala loken kontrollerna etc. men jag skulle uppskatta om du kunde guida mig till. Vart ska man köpa sakerna? Vad bör jag köpa, jag vill ju få med mycket räls och minst två lok. Vad kör du med? Kan man använda den äldre rälsen med den nyare?
Tack så jättemycket för svar
Kolla informationen på min hemsida: mrr-tutorials.com Klicka på ”M-räls” så hittar du användbar information om detta.
marklinofsweden jag läste på din hemsida och det verkar ju superlätt men hur gör man med växlarna och signalerna drar du de till en vanlig ställpult eller byter du till decoders i växlarna
Nilsminbae Precis! Super-enkelt! Antingen styr man växlarna med ställpult som visas på hemsidan, eller så kopplar man den gula och de blå kablarna till en m83 dekoder. Då ändrar du växlarna med en Mobile station eller Central station.
So nice! Did you use only one layer of static grass? Thanks!
those are very sprucey looking!
Старис Привіт як тебе додати в друзі на фейсбуці
Старий
Excellent looking trees!
Thank you John! 👍😊
Génial vos sapins merci pour ce partage
Can't you make a copple for me 😉
Jäklar vad snygga!
Du bist deutch oder english
Nein.. 😄 Ich bin Schwedish! 👍
Man looks like Homer if he was 3 months old.
No offence
I am the type of dumbass who makes static grass from my hair because I'm not going to spend like 50kr for som grass.
This guy has steam lol, good.
