Coconut Palm Tree Tutorial - Model Scenery

Sometimes the fastest way of making stunning scenery isn’t always the cheapest or easiest, but with the right tools it’s amazing what you can make.
The coconut palm trees I make in this video are made with the assistance of the Brother Scan N Cut die cutting machine, an absolute must when it comes to creating these fantastic looking palm leaves. The whole process is very easy and once you put a bunch of these palms together in your scene they will surely grab the attention of any onlookers.

i dont know why im subscribed. I dont even make dioramas. i just enjoy watching him make the stuff.

[Ollellor]

You're the most patient person I've ever seen 😱

[Rihon]

I will probably never do a model but I find myself enjoying your videos a lot. Great work!

[AJG]

I personally don't even build models but it makes me so happy everytime you upload!

[Scythra]

This and your apple tree and corrugated sheets/garage are one of the most cumbersome projects to make. Incredible, the patience and the detail!!

What a great tutorial and I totally agree about the Scan n Cut. I’ve had mine for years and, as a miniaturist, I find it indispensable. I often just rubber stamp a design or find free images on the internet and print them and direct cut. Being able to resize, print multiples, etc is awesome. The Scan n Cut always does an incredible job and I think is an unsung hero. I have had a Cricut and think the Scan n Cut runs rings around it plus you aren’t limited to their designs.

I have vague plans to make a tropical railway layout someday so I find your palm tree videos inspirational... But daunting!

[breakingtoast]

mate that is incredible the realism and patience i absolutely love your work luke

[TYSniper]

I am so happy you utilized Illustrator and a cutter to aid you in making a realistic palm tree. Excellent work as always.

[StarBright-Productions]

Great tutorial! Now all you need is an islander scampering up the tree to cut a few coconuts. Thanks. Cheers, Dan

[jackies]

So relaxing to watch. Everything is going to be fine when people still have time in the world to make models like these. I don't make them, but as someone who is a Potter/Ceramics artist I really appreciate the dedication.

[PartisanGamer]

Jesus, youre such a patient and collected model builder. Impressive.

[rishipanda]

your videos are so relaxing.I don't do diorama but i have finished watching all of your videos.. now what to do?

[ATSFVentaSpurNscaler]

Luke, you produced an excellent tutorial! Your techniques infuse an incredible degree of realism into your miniature palm trees.

[BIarvink]

The only people who dislike are the people who are too lazy to get the stuff but really want to do it. Amazing video!

[zonefpv]

Another great tutorial, Luke. You have incredible patience and skill.

[trevorvanzuydam]
