I'll have to try out this method to make trees, it seems to net really great results.
Also I wouldn't mind a few more videos on terrain building for BT.

Oh my Goodness. This is the best and easiest tiny tree tutorial on TH-cam by far. Thank you very much dear sir.

[@mikewenski6269]

Thanks for the great video, I found it really useful and I'm looking forward to using it in my terrain projects and basing.

Love this channel. been a subscriber for a long while now. Thanks for covering some terrain tips.

Thanks and we're glad you're enjoying the channel!

Was thinking the desiduous trees looked meh. Then you rolled it in the clump folliage, and that really brought it up a level. May well follow this method, it is pretty decent, and not crazy hard/expensive.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

It really makes the tree look more random and less "manufactured" so I'm glad you found it helpful.

@@CamoSpecsOnline I do have to say. I was cooking and semi-paying attention to what happened with the pine trees. I turned to flip over what was in the skillet then glanced back not even a few seconds later and was shocked at the transformation. I have to say I'm really impressed with how GOOD these look. I've been struggling to find ways to get enough detail at 6mm scale and this honestly is amazing.

thanks for the video. this is exactly what i was looking for for my 6mm team yankee scenery!

Great to hear that you found it useful, good luck with the projects!

[@eltoxicdog7587]

This looks lovely.

I think you mean poplar trees, not spruce? Not sure, but that's what those upward shaped trees remind me of. Cool stuff, though! I'm stoked on the idea of making cool terrain to fight battles on.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

That's probably what I meant but I'm not a tree-scientist, just a hobby nerd with a need for trees!

[@roguishowl3915]

Great video, and great easy trees, can I also say when you flock them an alternative to pva is hairspray and then add your flock.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

That's a good idea, the spray would be easier to get coverage with, thanks!

Very useful!

[@shadowhunter9919]

Those are really good looking! How would you recommend affixing them to table terrain?

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Thanks! Depending on what your terrain is made of, I would probably drill a pilot hole and then use a thicker consistency adhesive like PVA or 5-minute epoxy. You could also use greenstuff or putty to build up the tree trunks a bit and integrate that into your terrain.

[@shadowhunter9919]

Ok, thanks for the fast reply!

How do you do tropical rainforest/jungle trees?

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

Dubuya Jay I’ll admit I’ve never attempted tropical style trees but I’ll see if I can find a method I like and do a tutorial.

[@dubuyajay9964]

@@CamoSpecsOnline ty. I just have no idea how'd you do those insanely small palm leaves in 6mm.

[@Klaustafex]

This was all done back in the early 1980's. At around the 28 min. part of the video I've attached you will have your tropical tree answer. th-cam.com/video/eStSwb4eZps/w-d-xo.html

[@heavymuseum]

Why don’t you leave some of the trees so that those would look like those covered with English moss?! The moss would be covering the tree trunk.

[@CamoSpecsOnline]

You can do whatever you like when you make these trees. The purpose of the video was to demonstrate how to take craft supplies and turn them into trees of various types. After that, have at it with all kinds of details and extras.
