I love how everyone is using skills and techniques they learned from fellow crafter an then referencing them. Keep it up Eric
So much good information available today!
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop you know, Miscast seems to be missing a Deathmatch partner...
Not gunna lie... these are probably the best looking homemade conifer tree's I've seen yet.
Thanks! Im happy with how they turned out
I've never seen a scale model tree I thought looked good until now, thanks Eric.
jerry whoomst same, every time I cringe when I see them except for this.
I model HO and Lionel 027 scales. I make my own rust. I take about 4 pieces of 0000 steel wool and put it in a quart jar. I add some vinegar and distilled water (2:1) and wait for a month for the rust to form. Then pour the mixture into a large baking dish or a photo processing pan (which was left over from my darkroom) and let it all dry for a couple of weeks. Then take a single edge razor blade and make sure all the rust is pulverized into a powder. Then use it as you would chalks or pigments fixed with mineral spirits or whatever you use to make a wash. Works great and looks real, 'cause it is real rust. I also make my own flocking from sponge rubber in an electric coffee bean grinder and add your choice of color. I've also used sawdust as you do here. We have lichen growing out back and it works well for bushes, (ground up) leaves, etc. Cheers from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
Something about christmas trees being i-CONIC?
I'll see myself out.
Lol i see what you did there
My groan should be audible. 😂
Damn party poopers.
Ben... If your saying that just *_fir_* laughs you need to *_spruce_* up your act... (am I right guys... guys?...)
I really enjoy your tutorials AND your deadpan humor make them a real treat 👏🏼
Thanks Lucien! I’m glad you are enjoying them
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop, hey, eric, can you link to those fibres? I don't think I could stomach unwinding 100-400 trees worth of fibres
Alors la je m’attendais pas à voir un auteur et comédien français comme Lucien Maine sous une vidéo d’Eric’s Hobby Workshop :o
Ad sbknmmm
Haaaa je vois où tu trouves ton inspiration pour la bonne auberge ;)
This green sawdust looks more like grass, pretty good method!
I love your blasé method. its exactly how I build stuff
Bards craft yet lives in the lives of us who wacth!!!
I'm so new to model stuff and juuuust venturing into bigger-scale projects. This is exactly the kind of video I was hoping to find: accessible, helpful and interesting. Thanks so much for helping a newbie feel like progressing deeper into this hobby is actually possible!
Awesome! Love to hear that
LOVE this!! I often use coffee grounds for soil. It's perfect.
I'm making a Forrest kind of like this except it's a bit more simple. I used to paper and glue and I also used some dead plants in my backyard to make some Forest
I love that you feel the need to explain what trees look like...
Sadly, not everyone lives near trees. I love trees
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop That is True, just a bit of strange motion that People wouldn't know the difference betwene spruce and pine and that the relation to it is the chrismastree. But that is because Sweden is such a small vontry with Forrest and Nature Close to and inside even the largest of citys here :)
This is by far the BEST pine tree craft Ive seen on youtube.
Thank you
beautiful trees..thank you ...congratulations
Superb... now have the trees for my Roman Teutoburg Forest diorama
Thanks for the love!
Loving the anakin reference at 11:30 😆
Tea leaves from a tea bag make good forest covering too
Eric feels like Bob Ross of mini terrain
Thanks man. We both make happy little trees at least :)
There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents :)
Awesome! These will look great with my Dept. 56 Dickens Village!
Bro, this is genius.
Thanks Franky! Glad you like it
Exactly what I was looking for how to make this with the twist
I don't know why I haven't found this video before now, but I love your terrain and the way you did the trees, even the dead one. This is the best version I have seen on doing the trees and terrain. I learned quite a bit from this video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
i really enjoyed your lesson thank you . i have no comments because you have cracked the tree making lol , Eric, spot on bro
Regular terrain CZcamsr: makes a decent thing.
Eric: makes a decent thing and I laugh my ass off at the voiceover.
You can use a silicon spatula spoon (found in the kitchenware aisle) to mix an apply your spackle. Way less messy than doing it with your fingers.
Omg that Gordon Ramsay impression was spot on!
Ok at the start I wasn't sure if I found the video I need. Skipped to the end, holy hell they look amazing
Happy little trees - Bob Ross would approve!👍😁
Thanks hit scanner! Im glad you liked it
Living in the woods I know the tree facts.
Gorgeous trees and I’m gonna try to make them 😁
Damn. Those look super good.
That commentary earned a subscribe
this video was especially humorous! nice work!
Realistic, good instructions, a free history lesson, and also solid comedy? What a gem, subscribed.
Excellent work and thanks for the tips Eric ,all the best from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🎉
would argue the "moss step" should go before the pine needles and allow for some blending as if the the needles have fallen onto the moss and looks less patchy
Boylei Hobby gave a Shout Out for your channel for making a tree. Nice job these trees look like Flagstaff, Az. Some palaces have fewer branches than yours. Trees look different anywhere you go.👍🏻 Awesome thanks for showing this.
Absolute genius, thanks for sharing
Love that you get right in there. I learn something every time I watch.
A couple technique suggestions: Put a cup hook in your drill to loop the wire on instead of trying to chuck the wires in the drill each time. At the other end, there are cheap vices around that make holding that end easier also. Harbor freight has one that goes on sale once in a while at about the $15 price point that you can clamp to the table so it stays put. I've used sisal twine to do the same kinds of builds, but I think what you are using works better. Really liked the idea of the foil as exposed trunks, I'll try that the next time I start building pines.
love the Gordon Ramsey imitaton when you did the dead tree :))
Nice work, Dude! Love the different techniques you just taught me, all in one convenient video. Love the fun you & your woman have together; & your humility is so refreshing!
Love it, especially how much effort you put into research and planning part. Eric, you're my new favorite terrain youtuber, watching you videos one after another!
Power to the wife for the power drill gift!
the sandakin jokes are pure fire dude
To make cutting of the rope easier, wrap it around something like a strip of cardboard and then after you have wound a good length around many times, cut along the edge. It goes much faster.
I actually tried that! Good technique
@@EricsHobbyWorkshop yeah I learned about that when I was watching someone show how to do thatched roofs. I don't remember who it was doing it though.
Ive seen so many people do so many different kinds of wire trees but no one ever explains a good way to do the texture on the trunk of the tree. thank you so much for such a great idea.
Very nice work, congratulations
Good lore about the peasants gathering sticks - and how it played into your terrain design.
This is awesome...I,m 70 years old and I am going to do this for my cabin collection. Thanks so much. ( :
I've been noticing the same thing about the branches of trees while hiking these days I'm glad you included that
Love it! Pine trees always seem very troubling to make, but these look very realistic! Nice one, Eric!
These are some of the best-looking homemade trees I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the tutorial! I’m definitely going to be trying this.
Fantastisch grüsse aus Deutschland 🇩🇪✌🏻
so you got a place in my hobby favorite list^^
I love the naturalism.
Brilliant video. Boat loads of great ideas. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing - needed this tutorial as well as the smile you put on my face!
Really love the chill, almost improvisational nature of your videos man. Keep up the good work, really inspiring me to go and create some random scenes for my minis.
It seems that the dexterity is extraordinary.
I had fun.
You are an artist!
What a great video! I mostly stumble across people just gluing parts that they bought. Finally someone who makes everything from scratch. Keep up the good work 💪
"because I love CHAOS!!" hahaha
Wow! What detail you put into these trees is amazing! They look so real! I definitely need to try this for a few bottle brush Christmas trees! Thanks so much for sharing!
this is the tutorial I always wanted, so many trees tutorial out there but none of them with materials I can find in my shithole of a country. Thank you good sir! you earned a subscriber
I'm loving all these new content from you. Good ideas and good job!
Nice! lots of great ideas. Thanks!
I love your attention to detail and the effort you go to in order to match natural terrain. I think you are the first person I've seen incorporate snags/dead trees among live ones. As someone who works for the Forest Service I approve! Haha! Stay safe Mr. Eric!
I was really pleased with that method too!
Wow nice job love what you have done
Thank you for your teaching us to make pine trees!
I love your commentary :D especially about life choices ;P Dead tree looks awesome. I will definitely need to try that.
The dead tree is my favorite part
Needed a load of these trees for frostgrave and couldn't buy the right size till now thanks mate nice work
This is great! I've been making miniature things as a hobby for a little while now and pine trees have been a pain in my side. Will definitely do this!
Awesome build. Nice to see a build based off another tubers build.
Superb job you have done!! 👍
Way better looking then most of the trees I’ve seen people make definitely guna give this a go
Thanks Rueben! Do it, Its incredibly gratifying !
9:15 for a second I thought you really used a Gordon Ramsay voice clip, your impression was spot on! 🤣🤣👏
Great trees. Way better than my dollar store trees LOL. I love the use of the drill, very creative.
Such great-tips; Thank-You!!!
Great tutorial Eric! I really like your teaching style. Can't wait to try these techniques for myself.
Beautiful! love the moss effect and dead tree
Great tutorial Eric
Been looking around for a fairly easy realistic looking idea for ages. Honestly this is such a good idea. Have already made several of my own, although I found it much easier and a better result using a power drill as you can spin them up really tight! 👍
man im loving your projects, always awesome to find stuff like this!
I really enjoyed this and am going to incorporate some of these methods! Thank you. If you keep doing good terrain videos that I can use as a GM, I will definitely join your patrons!
this might be my favorite coniferous tree build I've seen to date. Love the modular approach. "...because I love chaos.." cracked me up (probably because it's all I know when I'm crafting... chaos)
Creative and very impressive, looks so real...Thanks for sharing!👍👍
I admit, I had doubts regarding how good this was going to look, but you blew me away! This was a great tutorial. Keep it up.
Very nice tutorial Eric, lets try to do this 😉
this is remarkably simple but surprisingly cool!
Excellent video, glad I landed on your channel.
I have watched a few vids before but this one made me subscribe! Really cool way of making the pine trees
You must have the patience of a god to separate all those fibres
I was listening to an audiobook and forgot i was even doing it tbh
Amazing! Fantastic!
Wow....love it. I learned a lot and thank you for sharing. Turned out beautifully.
One word I have for your build: AWESOME!!! Thank you for the video Eric. It got crafting AND powertools :)
POWER CRAFTING!!!
Awesome! Super simple incredibly effective. Was dreading approaching the nature side of my builds but this has totally changed that. Thanks for sharing your techniques and colour choices man 😉
