Jos,
Thanks for the tutorial. Very realistic.

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
Outstanding...I'll have to give these trees a try. Thanks.
I believe you have earned the title of "Tree Master" Thanks a bunch for the excellent "how to"!

Thanks capt.!
I don't know exactly if they "are put in/placed in " fish tankfilters..but they can be bought in aquariumshops etc( they HAVE to know what kind of stuff this is! )
The fibers I used on that tree are blue . but I found some colored fibers for floristdecoration"things" ...
The blue filterfibers are more tough than the colored ones. I prefer the colored ones...they are less tough( thin?) and easy to cut and also "heavy" enough to fall over the sprayglued frame!
there is also a kind of filterfiber that is even more thin/smaller than the colored ones but not that thin as cookerhoodfilters: I use these light green thin filterparts to N scale or very detailed HO trees and to imm. dead small branches...
Of course I have to color/spray the blue and light green fibers first before adding the leaves!
Here are some pictures of the stuff I can get overhere...
the blue ones:
the lightgreen/blue ones:
the brown"decorationfibers":
here the "light green/blue ones on a big N tree before coloring the fibers...:
Last one: the sawDUST I use to cover the wires and to imm. the texture of the trunks. It is very small/.fine almost like dust.
my last efforts about tree building: picture taken just between the many hail and snow(!!) showers right now overhere...

Simply amazing. Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Think I will give that a try, all I need is the fish tank stuff and that isn't expensive or hard to get.
