How to make a Realistic Miniature Pine Tree for Models, Wargaming, D&D and Dioramas

Показать описание

Hi from Miss Diorama!
In this video I demonstrate how I made this miniature model Pine Tree. I think it looks most like a Western Hemlock Pine Tree; What do you think? Be sure to leave your response in a comment.
I watched @art37 make his DIY Miniature Spruce Tree Step by step tutorial & have used his method to make my tree; Check out his video here;

One thing I did differently was instead of making flocking out of a sponge the way he did, I used Woodland Scenics Coarse Turf, and I coloured it a darker green for my pine tree using acrylic paint (as you can see in my video). I did grind it to a finer grade using a spice grinder and then sent it through a sieve to separate the finer particles in a similar way to @art37 in his video. If I make another pine tree, I will probably invest in some Woodland Scenics Fine Turf in dark green rather than having to make fine flock myself.

Here's the link to my Miniature Rustic Woodland Stone & Log Cabin Diorama video that features this Realistic Miniature Pine Tree;
