Add a touch of realism to your modeled forest or wooded grove by including decaying or damaged trees. Kent Johnson demonstrates a quick and easy technique for making plague pines using plastic tree kits available for layouts of any size or scale.
It should have been obvious to me, but I never thought of twisting the armature. I make all kinds of bends that don’t look natural. Like William Garry said: KISS.
This is the first time I have visited this sight, and I will recommend it to people I know who are just stating in model railroading. Great video.
thanks Kent I will try it out I bought some trees over Christmas just need to (plant) them on the layout
I used these ideas and they really helped add a nice touch to my forested areas. Nice job
This is a great KISS project that yields realistic rewards. Excellent, Kent.
Very interesting… Thanks.
Simple ideas are the best ones.
Great basic modelling tip, Kent. Keep them coming!
Great segment Kent, now my evergreen forest will be looking a lot more natural. Keep up the good modeling tips.
Thanks Kent! I'm surely making some of those trees. You made it looks so easy and fast that I want to grab some right now! to bad is 10 at night and I don't have any armatures like that. Anyway thanks for sharing.
For an April Fools' video, you could re-edit this and call it "Damaging Modeled Trees."
