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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. thanks Kent I will try it out I bought some trees over Christmas just need to (plant) them on the layout

  4. Great segment Kent, now my evergreen forest will be looking a lot more natural. Keep up the good modeling tips.

  5. 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.
