Now that the rocks and basic ground covering is in place, MR’s Cody Grivno adds the tall timber to our Olympia Logging Co. On30 layout. In this video, he shows how to install and blend big commercial trees along the sloping mountainside terrain. Cody, also share a quick technique for enhancing the appearance of these trees by adding exposed roots to the trunks.
The roots idea is "five star". I have a similar cliff over the South Branch of the Arkansas River on my Denver and Rio Grande Monarch Branch in HOn3. I can't wait to add those foreground detail roots.
Great video Cody! I learned a lot about choosing trees, planting them and making roots and stumps too. The whole scene has great atmosphere now the trees are in place in front of the simple back scene.
Great segment on evergreen tree plantings on the Olympia RR Cody. I particularly liked the idea of the exposed roots in the rock crevices and the stumps, very realistic for the Northwest forests. Nice modeling techniques…….where is my pick?
