Fantastic Mountain Forest - Model Railroad Scenery
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I will show you how I planted a fantastic mountain forest - model railroad scenery tutorial. In a previous video I showed you how I built 100 pine twisted wire pine trees. In this video I am planting those trees to begin creating a fantastic mountain forest scene on my model railroad layout. Model railroad scenery is extremely fun and rewarding, and it really brings your train layout to life.

See how I created 100 model pine trees in a weekend here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaRsuqqSZdvAaNY.htmlsi=K2hlrN4uGEJ8-Y2p
hello ron's it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks ron friends randy and i am enjoy yours video is cool and i like yours fantstic is cool thanks friends randy
I like how the two mountains are separated from each other and how the trees help extenuate the perspective.
Welcome back, glad you are well. Can not wait till next video
Good seeing you back on KZread
👍598 Lovely presentation 😊
Another outstanding video as usual. Thank you for the demonstration.
Great video Ron. A 100 trees indeed does not take up much space. If I had to guess, I would say there were about 20 - 30 trees. Amazing. Nice scenery!
Looks great Ron!! Thanks
Looking great. A small tip, if I may, for some additional "forced perspective"... for the trees that are in the very foreground, hit them with a coat of spray adhesive, and give the tips a very light sprinkling of a lighter green fine turf. This will represent the fresh green chutes that you would see up close, but not so much on the trees that are farther away.
Great scenery
Nice
Dear Ron, love the forest mountain through the trees. Very cool to see the bald mountain getting its canopy! Cheerio
Glad to have you back doing videos again! I missed watching your how-to videos! thanks for all that you do. May God Bless You And Your Family!
Thanks Ron and Great advice and work, as usual !!!!

Thanks, Mike. Good to hear from you.
G’day Ron. It’s been a while. Great to see you back. The trees look great, and really bring that hill alive. As you say, another couple of hundred trees will see it finished 😂
Part of me would want to put a sheet of paper on your background and airbrush the back row of trees slightly lighter to give an atmospheric effect. Things in the distance usually look a little lighter or bluer. I don’t know if it would actually get the effect I’m imagining though.

Interesting idea. As you can see, I have done similarly on the backdrop itself. I may experiment with this idea.
Can you show how to make a city landscape 🙏 please
You help with so many helpful hints. It takes a lot of time and hard work to bring our new trainboard up to our vision and share it on our new channel so such useful help is very much appreciated
I don't know, the plaster dust actually looks pretty good IMHO. Looks like natural weathering. Maybe next time, add a little pigment to the plaster in the first place. 🙂
Can't see the forest through the trees or is it the ground through the forest?
Looks really good Ron! Are you planning some dead trees? I think that would really add to the look

I am planning a few dead ones...not too many in this distance, but some. On the portion I modeled years ago I added what I felt was too many. Stay tuned.
Great video and tutorial of you placing your trees and how you arranged the placement to show depth etc! Those trees you made look so real and definitely model railroad worthy! Thanks again Ron for sharing your videos with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Laurel, Delaware USA.
Hi Ron, the forest turned out very well 👍. It is really necessary to plant very many trees closely to make it look good. Best regards, Toni
That looks great, Ron. I will have to check out your tree making video.
Excellent pine trees!
looks good. only thing its missing is a habitat dead tree in the mix and maybe a few not growing quite right

Will be adding a few dead ones ultimately.
yah that is nice looking i need to make some pine trees but i dont want the twisted wire look on the trunk.....

If you didn't hear in the video, I'm covering the trunk treatment for the foreground trees in the next video.
Looks great Ron! The mountain top peaking through is such a great idea. Do you plan to bring the mountain top back?

I would.like to, but I'm uncertain how easy that will be. Stay tuned.
Ron: I am a very satisfied long term subscriber... a great channel. Question, if I may: What is the name - please - of the music track you use on this and (thankfully) many others?

It is a KZread track called Glen Canyon.
Looking great Ron. Just wondering. What is currently being done by the helix on the upper level past the tunnel

Everything has been at a standstill all summer,.so currently not much.
I don’t really see people put dead tress, falling trees, or trunks falling to the ground. It’s always sticking up. Not really much verity I see. Great video.

Depends greatly on the subject distance that the modeler is trying to convey. I've done incredibly detailed logging scenes with deadfall, stumps, snags etc, but I was trying to make the viewer feel like they were standing right there on the forest floor probably dodging falling limbs. I've also done forest work on layouts where I'm trying to make the viewer feel like they are watching the trains from hundreds of yards away, from that distance you likely won't see logs on the ground or leaf litter or stumps. Depending on what era you are trying to model dead trees could be very important. Over the last 5-10 years the bark beetle has been absolutely decimating western softwood forests in the US and Canada, 50-70 years ago that may have been a lot less of an issue, but you may need to make more effort to represent the effects of irresponsible logging practices of decades past. Or you can stick a ridiculous number of pine looking trees on a hillside, step back, enjoy your handiwork and run some trains. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get back to figuring out how to differentiate in model form at 1:87 scale the difference between Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Lodge Pole Pine, and a couple varieties of Spruce, because they are not all the same and they're not round either. -Cheers
