Take a look at this article from DigitalDioramas.com

This will give you the basic idea of what to do and how to do it.

Chekc out Kevins - they are really good. There is a link in the feature to where he got them

My only comment is - study the tops, lots of people have modeled pines fine from the ground to about 2/3 of the way up. The tops taper A LOT.

Recommendation - go out in the woods and study the tops, how the bows come out and sag....

I can only second Scott's advice.... Go out there, study the trees and take some pics too.

I found that when you go out there to study the details, you'll see things that you didn't know they where there.... and besides that.... it's a good relaxation too
