Thanks. And what is nice is that they survive lots of rough treatment. Shortly after making this video, I put a number of the trees in an area on my club's layout that seems to be knocked about by members. I just straighten the trees up every now and then and they still look good.

Fantastic tips!! Gonna start doing this today! Thanks for sharing 👍

Have fun. They are really easy to make.

Finally someone who recognizes that trees have to be to scale!

Thanks.

Nicely done, ill have a go at this, still getting my head around N scale after being so used to OO/HO. PS.. It is actually easier to just dip the wireframe n the modpodge than brush it on. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I painted the Mod Podge because I was always worried that the wire would bend and it would be a hassle to get the shape back while wet. After having a number of these trees on a club layout where ham-fisted members keep knocking them and bending them over, I now know that they are really easy to put back into shape, so bent wires as a result of dipping would be easy to straighten after the Mod Podge dries.

@@ericcoughlan Last time i did it (a few years back). It will "sag"/run a little while it dries but i remedied that by having a 10 minute alarm set where i turned it the other way up (or right way up). Aftera few alarms it was stable enough to just leave alone and gave a nice even coat with a little bias to the base.
