MRVP All-Stars David Popp and Jenny Freeland team up to plant a full forest of trees in the craggy mountain walls along this Fraser Canyon scene. While the tree canopy will be dense in this part of our N scale (1:160) Canadian Canyons layout, David also shares tips for adding realistic forest undergrowth.
Great video, David and Jenny! Thanks so much! Let’s see more!
Nicely done David and Jenny. You have a great start on the trees, location, size, mixture with brush and undergrowth. Impressed with the dead branches adding even more realism to the scene.
Always takes more trees than we expect it to.
Excellent workmanship with the trees Jenny, looks like someone is going to be busy making a lot more trees. Looking very good , looking forward to seeing more progress updates
Shaping up nicely gang!!! Great work!
Tacky glue and hot glue are made for quick grab. Is there a reason why you just use white glue instead (besides convenience)?
I have found that Carpenters Wood Glue, the yellow kind, works very well for securing brush and under growth. It grabs much better than white glue, especially on near vertical surfaces. Give it a try and you’ll
see what I mean. It is also waterproof when dry. The project is looking great!
Very realistic natural landscaping Jenny and David. You are correct David, nature doesn’t adhere to our odd number groupings of trees and shrubs when landscaping, nature is way more creative. And you both voiced a common model railroaders lament – never enough trees. Thanks.
