    COMMENT PREDICTION: "Are you spraying clear coat inside?!?! Doesn't that kill you?!?!?!"
    When using a spray varnish it is important to work in a well ventilated area.....well ventilated....that means opening some windows and setting up a fan. Wear a respirator meant for paint fumes if you are really concerned. You don't need to spray atop the highest peak of a mountain to keep the air fresh. For the record my shop has 4 windows I can open while spraying, two of which are very large, and in the winter with the temperature difference inside vs out they exchange the air very quickly.

      Just checked that link and the price is crazy high, like $67. I'm guessing they have since sold out at whatever price you found them for and bots are now raising the price from other sellers.

      Hey, I recently got really into all of this and have binged many of your videos. All your amazon referral links are for US/Canada, any chance you could throw up some UK links too? I really want to throw some support your way and was thinking of doing a full shop.

      Have you ever created trees with spots for minis to stand in, that doesn't just look like a tree with a platform in it? I'm constantly having characters that want climb/jump into a tree and hide or shoot from a them. Thoughts? Also, those trees look HOT!

      Black Magic Craft hey you should check out Luke towen's channel he does dioramas for model trains and things like that where he makes haybails furnaces and other things similar to what you make and his techniques could be applied and adapted to what you do cuz you both use similar materials if you check it out let me know what you think

    Trimming the trees into irregular shapes with some gaps on the sides will get rid of the conical Christmas tree look.
    For conifers, painting the entire tree with primer brown goes a long way towards killing the plastic fake green. Primer grey works well as a base for colder climates. These trees really only have needles on the exposed exteriors, with tbe interior branches bare and a brownish grey.
    Turn the trees upside down and spray black paint on the under side. It suggests shadow and depth.
    A base medium green flocking or ground foam works, but a lighter shade dusted lightly as a second coat will give it a nice highlight.

    A friend gave me several of those cheapy trees. I tried this on the worst (crushed) one. Soaking in hot water really cleaned it up and helped to reshape it. I'm blown away by how much better it looks now! Thank you so much for sharing. Now I'll have to make some for all seasons!

    This was sooooo satisfying to watch! I have been loving this winter terrain build series, but know I won't be able to have my players in a winter season for a long time. Seeing you remove the snow from these trees confirms that I can still make use of this giant pack of trees. The results look stellar.

    • @BlackMagicCraftOfficial
      @BlackMagicCraftOfficial  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Even if you just want to wash of the snow and paint the bases brown those trees are a quick cheap fix for summer settings.

    I'm kinda lazy with so much work associate with rejiggering this year's design changes, incorporating new pieces/accessories so I remove the bases from all my trees and simply poke a hole where I want them and insert. Taking them down at end of season is really quick and easy. I plan to incorporate this technique on similar bulk trees of various sizes. I think it really takes the cheap trees to the next level. I've invested quite a bit into spending trees and this technique will help the pocket book. I plan to treat three bags of trees. I also like the uniformity of color with this approach. You solved my dilemma of how to add a forested area without breaking the bank. On the inhalation of fumes thing...I always wait for a mild sunny fall day, set up a work board outside and spray away. I also use my hot tools outdoors as well. Thanks!

  • @TheRavenLilian

  • @missionhill7863
    @missionhill7863 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    what a great idea. i love this video lol. ty for the idea :) I did this but i'm cheap so i used dollar store moss, clear school glue, a dollar store spray bottle, dish soap, and an old tooth brush lol. I blended the moss in my magic bullet till it was a fine powder (you can sift it if you want a less clumpy texture) I then scrubbed the trees like he did with an old toothbrush then dipped them in a mix of clear school glue and water( 1 part glue to 2 parts water) I then sprinkled the moss powder over the tree then set it with a mix of dish soap and water, I washed the spray bottle out then put 3 tablespoons of water to 1 teaspoon of clear glue. I then put it back on its little stand it came with ( i should've got a block of foam at the dollar store because it was wobbly af lol) then i put cornstarch in a flour sifter and sifted it over for a snow effect then re sprayed it with the glue/water mix because im too cheap to buy spray snow or spray paint and they didnt have it at the dollarstore lol. the tree looked great before i put the cornstarch on it. we will see how it looks tomorrow :)

  • @AlexBabcock-hw9iz
    @AlexBabcock-hw9iz 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Came out very nicely for cheapy trees. You could even add more detail by clipping off the lower branches using hot glue to "BARK" the tree add some dead limbs on the lower part. Give then more personality and visual interest. The larger ones a mini could even stand under. Cheers great job Jerome!

    So I started this project after watching both videos for the final terrain pieces. This portion was very sticky messy and kind of fun. I did spray the hell out of my trees to keep them from shedding. And, I did have to flock parts of them a second time. But overall a good project and hunting down the trees in stores was a bit of an adventure.

    Wow, this was super helpful! :D I found a pack of 4 pure white trees from the dollar store where I live for $2 (Dollarama if anyone is wondering) for a Christmas one-shot I ran. The flocking kept falling off but it was almost as if the trees were magical and covered the map in tiny bits of snow XD I`m going to pick up some more trees though because I really want some green pines for my d&d group to use all of the time. I will certainly be using the techniques shown in this tutorial thank you so much the group is going to love them :D

  • @craigdunc
    @craigdunc 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did a very similar thing with the same brand of trees, it's been interesting to see your version of this. I painted mine a nice green first before flocking, I'd recommend that step it puts less pressure on having perfect flock coverage. I'm impressed with the results from the watery PVA step, though, I was laying down a lot of spray varnish on these to keep the flock on.

    Awesome! Love this and getting ready to try it. I have a question though. As I have gotten older my math/science skills and knowledge are not what they used to be. When you say a 50/50 mix of water to glue, exactly how are you measuring that? I ask because the glue is much thicker than water and I would think that a cup of glue would not exactly be the same as a cup of water. I am probably wrong ,but thought I would ask. Thanks!

  • @devonsimpson7122
    @devonsimpson7122 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hey, loved the outcome of the trees! Quick question though, you had two flocking containers on the side in differed colours. Did you mix them together throughout the tree length or did you spot sprinkle the different green to give variation?

    • @BlackMagicCraftOfficial

    Hey, why not use some of that texturing paste to do bases? Could use the heavier textures especially, do some grassy colors and dry brush white or something to give a light snow cover or something similar, especially if you do a light snow cover on one of the trees to match. I'm still sorta new to things so it might not work the way Im thinking but its worth a shot!

    This is a great idea and I'm geeked to go look for a pack of trees and some flocking now. I have been trying to find really good trees for terrain and had so many poor options previously.
    Mildly disappointed the intro wasn't "You think I'm going to leave these as is? As if !"

    I’m glad I’ve found your site. I do Christmas village every yr. I’ll be doing this with my trees. I do have some that the trees are kind of crushed in. How would you recommend I fix those?

    I make fairy houses for outdoor use and I am always looking for trees to dress up a forest area. This idea is great! Do you have any other realistic trees and how to make them for outdoor use? Loved your video!

      I get this question about outdoor stuff for fairy gardens (as well as about using in terrariums) and honestly I'm not sure because I don't have to deal with this. I would think some kind of exterior varnish would be the way to go but I'm guessing it wouldn't hold up completely exposed to the elements for very long.

    I tried to find the items to make this on Amazon . Wow, so many choices I had no idea which one was the right one . Please can you tell me the names of the products ? Also what can I use to add back the flocking on the trees and the ground . I need to keep the price down as I am disabled and on Social Security . I like to try to make things for my room to stay busy . I don’t need as many trees ad you made . Thank you for your video !
