Tall Forest Pine Trees

Shortly I’ll be posting a video on YouTube giving you a very detailed tutorial on how to make these fantastic pine trees.
If you’re a current patron and follow me on ‘Patreon’ then you will actually be able to watch the video right now. So if you want to watch now you might consider supporting me on Patreon or if you can wait I'll be posting this video to everyone on YouTube at approximately 9am EDT on the 6th of May in the US. 
The whole process is actually quite simple and the results more than speak for themselves!

I especially like the look of the trunk, the wire brush technique works really well against the balsa wood as it's very soft and very easy to work with. I've seen many ways of making a believable wood grain in a wooden dowel but nothing quite as easy as using balsa wood. Color matching also plays a very important part in creating a believable trunk in miniature.

The base color for the trunk is Rust-Oleum Satin Espresso and the highlights which are dry brushed across the top is Vallejo Israeli Sand Grey. Those colors seem to work well together and complement each other.
Overall I'm quite happy with the final result, I plan to use these trees in my next big video which will be 'Realistic Scenery Volume - 5", it will be my biggest diorama so far but I have big plans for it.

Don't forget to go check out 'Patreon' if you want to help and support me, not to mention watch my tutorials 48 hours before they get published to YouTube.

Cheers
Luke
