Well in a secret September Project i ll be needing many many pine trees , maybe more than 15 , so i have started experimenting some to get some results.

Thanks for your time

Costas

I like it ! What are the materials?

This looks similar to products by Bragdon Enterprises?? What did you use if this is not.

I love it. Is it 1/35 or is it smaller? What is it made of?

Gret tree..it looks really nice

Costas, a wonderful first tree You have done very good. One thing I notice is pine cones should be on underside of the branches but that should be easy fix. Although it does look good even with them on top. I take it wasnt to difficult? Cheers Kevin

well thanks a lot guys . Jackhammer81 (Kev) showed me the way . The branch materials are as mentioned from Bragdon and the trunk is hand made forming cylindrical dowels and texturizing them with razor and wire brush and painting with several washes and drybrushing.
Kev i was wondering about the pine cones also but , i have seen many of them in Greece that grow upways and also underways so i dont think is wron. Also i think they look good and should be shown !!!!

Thanks

Costas

I told you they would look excellent Costas. Very good work as always

Thanks a lot Cliff . Encouragement will be surely needed tro make a forest as i plan

Costas,
Looking very cool I too have Bragdon branches. Did you find it easy to work with I found them very good.

Thats a product of Bradgon enterprises that comes in many pieces of tree branches that u seperate and use drilling holes in the trunk and inserting and gluing each one seperately . They come inrandom sizes from the smallest to big ones .


Thanks for commenting that

Costas

Costas, nice trees! I don't know the region you are going for but you should be able to find what varieties of trees grow where so you can research the cone issue. Here in the states there are a number of products that you can buy to make pines from scratch. You should be able to find them with the dried flowers section at hobby lobby or other stores with dried flowers.

That's great Costas!!!
Congrats
Ciao

and how can I get branches like that? Do they mailorder??

Looking real good. A forest with that should be a real beauty!!! Good job!

Beautiful tree, Costas. Nice work!! :-) :-)

Thanks a lot for comments guys .

I found that quite easy to use them and they look superb to my eyes .
Iwouldnt buy ready trunks - even they have nice ones - i prefer scratching them. its also much cheaper

It looks very good for me. Very realistic. I like it.

Thanks a lot csch. I intented to do it as realistic as i could do .Many branches do a better pic of tree , takes more time but looks better .

Costas
