I remember watching this 5 years ago and it inspired me to do this then. I was just telling my now wife what I did wrong since I gave up on the project until I learned something about spray adhesive a few years later. Spray adhesives (or at least many of them) will NEVER lose their tackiness without sealing them. I waited for my finished tree to stop being tacky so I could use it and it never did. Even after ~a year of dust collection on my shelf waiting it never stopped being tacky. So seal your tree when you are done with some sort of spray lacquer or whatever. Just wish I had realized this 5 years ago :)

This is incredibly relaxing to watch! It's like the Bob Ross of miniatures.

this is why i love youtube! artists everywhere, and everything you need to know you can find here. great tutorial!

All the videos you make are so impressive!. You're so full of passion, you put patiencely so many precise details … i love all your dioramas you create … I learn so many things from all of your videos💗 i'll try my best to follow step by step all your tips and tricks🤞🏽 thank you✨✨✨✨😊

i’m a landscape architect major and this saved my life for this project!!!!! thank you so much

Great work. My Grandfather had a model railway table. He spended alot of Time and money into it, but ive never seen such a great Tree before. Makes me wanne go back in time and help him -.-"

I've gotten back into building scenery after years away from the hobby. Your videos have been a great help and inspiration. Thanks mate!

Mr. Luke... Thanks so much for sharing. I have a number of trees to produce, and they really need to look great. Purchasing them outright was going to be cost prohibitive. I was never really "pro" on wire aperture trees before. Watching this video (which I have now committed to memory) gave me hope that I could produce decent looking trees. I have just finished my first twisting of the wire, and I am so excited by the results. You are a master hobby artisan, and a phenomenal teacher. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!

I used to love making dioramas for school projects, but moved on to model kits later in life. Now that I'm older, I've kinda renewed my interest in making dioramas and your series has one of the best that I've seen. Keep it up, I can't wait to see more and thanks for reviving an old man's love for dioramas.

this is HQ video (sounds, voice, tone colours, camera angel, averything). Very nice. You got new subscriber

So here I am, 3 hours later, hands raw from untangling the wire from pipecleaners, and I have myself a tree. Thank you so much for having an amazing tutorial!! I would've been doomed had I not found this.

Mind Blown! One important thing I have learned from your tutorials, its all about the minor details, the details that you, has the creator will only notice. However, without those “hidden” details, it’s a night and day difference in the final creation.

WOW this just kept getting better and better!!!! Thank you for sharing your amazingly detailed process! Can’t wait to make my own.

Que legal! Estava procurando "como fazer um bonsai" e ao invés disso encontrei esta bela obra de arte! Que lindo!

Oh my! That’s amazing!!! Beautiful work! You’re truly gifted!

I am glad KZread brought your videos in my feed! I spent hours staring at the models in the museum as a kid and wondered how these were made... am now am addicted to your videos. Many thanks mate!

Incredible! This was so beautiful, and very relaxing to watch. I look forward to trying it out sometime!

That was brilliant and very relaxing (just what I needed!) even if I don't have a train set to use it on - yet! Thanks for sharing the tips.

Hay Luck, I found you on KZread for the first time today and I loved how you made the 🌲 tree my boyfriend John loves Trains and he is building his self a a model Train Village not like you because he is buying the buildings that just snap together but some of the buildings he puts a little glue on them so they will be stronger John has put together some blue mailboxes and a post office and a hobby shop and a fire Dept. and he is working on the roads today he has a Train and Train Track and John has showed me me all this in pictures or on Video I haven't seen it in person yet because he lives in Chattanooga TN and I live in Old Hickory Tennessee but one day when we get married John is going to bring his Train set with him and then I will be able to see it in person. I can't wait tell the day we share his exciting Train life he has together.

Tree Rat Wire can easily be found in any crafts shops..Or you can buy from ebay. Or try from a shop that sells plastic plants (its florist wire) Copper wire possibly from DIY , tech, or 2nd hand cable and tear out the wires . Usually hobby shops sell everything listed here, minus the wire. Or.. Sponges for the covering of the braches(the thick coverage). Latex+PvA glue for the bark shape. For the paints, if you want to go cheaper tho uglier look, decant air paints and mix em with water. Some people make scatter with wigs or from natural fibers or brushes. As far as the tiny leaves..no idea sadly Edit: or you can use a nail polish for the bark shape too (ugly but replaces the need for me to use the latex+PvA mix) Get a 3 or 4 bottle ,3 droppers and get equal amounts of nail polish into the last bottle, mix and apply and you get a weird colour which can be matte too

always good to go back and catch any tips you might of missed the first few times in watching this one.. hope all is well Luke

Today I just revisited this video I remembered around 6 years ago ith video randomly popped in my recommendation and I watched it and made one tree with materials that I had old electrical wire and stuff I was 12 at that time and it soon became a hobby now I really enjoy making stuffs hope some day I will able to afford nice materials even today I do all my projects with scrap materials luke really inspired millions into this diorama making .

I love this guide! Tried making a couple of small trees, well, bushes really, and it was SO easy following your step by step. I already had some foilage left over from making a couple of cherry trees so I used those instead of either turf, fruit or leaves but I'm gonna try my hand on a few more next week!

you're so badass dude! My wife and I want to get into this kind of art so bad but until RIGHT now, had no idea where to start because it's so expensive but this obviously saves a ton of money and is more custom and rewarding.

Very informative, thank you. I've made the static grass applicator as per your tutorial and it works better than I expected. Grass is now done and dusted and your ultra realistic trees are on the drawing board... 😉 👍🏻

I need to make a tree for a non-railroad application, but rather as part of a display, and I need to hide an LED light in it and the cord, etc. and the tree will be about 10" tall... your tutorial was amazing, thank you so so much..I've never done anything like this before, but your instructions were so clear and methodical, I'm not (as) intimidated by the prospects as I was.

Came for the recommendation Stayed for the content

Great video, and very effective method for making small-scale realistic trees. I love the apples. BTW, reading the comments here I note that @Masked Mustachio mentions the tackiness of spray adhesives causing problems with dust even after a year of 'drying'. This would be an even greater problem with larger-scale trees. I'd like to point out that I've solved this problem by making 'indestructible trees' which can be jet-washed with water AND vacuum-cleaned. The secret is to glue the foliage to the 'twigs' by dunking the 'clumps' of twigs in Cyano-arcylate glue, then dunking them in the scatter. This creates strong and ever-lasting foliage. The twigs meanwhile, are made from nylon-monofilament fishing line, which is flexible and 'ever-lasting' and the branches to which they are fixed are made from 'wire-cored garden twine' which is also flexible and 'ever-lasting'. The upshot of all of this is that the leaves, twigs and branches are ALL flexible and highly resistant to damage from knocking, bashing, crushing, bending, being blasted with jet water, and vacuum-cleaned. I don't know if that's of any help for you, but maybe it is to other viewers. I do have vids, and show the method for the construction of a 13 inch high 'Yew tree' and then I throw it across my table and bash it repeatedly on the bench to show just how indestructible it is! LOL.
