    So what do you guys think of this method? Got any questions? Let me know in the comments below and I'll aim to get back to you as soon as I can :)
    STEEL TIN CAN TIPS AND SAFETY:
    Tin is safe enough to use if you're reasonably careful, I cut most of mine from tin can lids with scissors.
    Made sure you're wearing thick gloves when cutting and handling, I use some woodworking gloves.
    If you want to make doubly sure the tin isn't sharp, use a metal nail file along the edges to round it off.
    Alternatively, if you're using them as storage bases, cover the edges in hot glue, or even hot glue over the edges on top of some cardboard, sealing them to it and giving a nice transport tray! This it what I'll be doing for my custom storage box shelving…
    Quick tip: double layer the lids with some superglue for more magnetism if needed - this helps with larger trees that need more grip, if the magnet is strong enough like the ones I suggest…
    MOD PODGE SEALANT:
    This stuff is really easy to mix, I use the following formula:
    1 part mod podge
    3 or more parts water - you can make this as thick or thin as you like, and just use more layers to make it harder. Thinner layers are less likely to dry visibly - this time around I went with 5 parts water.
    A drop of dish soap (fairy liquid type stuff) or flow improver - this helps it…well…flow :)
    GROUT-DIRT MIX:
    This is a nice mix I find gives a great dirt effect, you just need:
    Brown and black unsanded tile grout
    Dirt cooked in the oven and filtered through a sieve - you want to grind this up with the handle of something, just break it down until its quite fine.
    The ratio you want here is going to depend on the colour of your local grout, I just mixed in a bit of black at a time until the colour darkened down to match the original dirt. I ended up with about a 4:2:1 ratio of dirt:brown grout:black grout
    BBQ SKEWER ALTERNATIVE:
    If you're dead set against using magnets, you can do a similar thing using BBQ skewers, which are a lot more durable than cocktail sticks.
    Basically the idea here is to have a solid chunk of skewer, just under 1/2" poking out of the bottom of the tree, and the trunk, with hold drilled at the top of the trunk, and melted into the top of the foam with a glue gun.
    Then use durable, hard putty like milliput or green stuff (you could MAYBE get away with clay, but it does chip more easily I find) to line the edges of the hole, cover a bit of skewer in water or vasaline (petroleum jelly) so it won't stick, and push it in, so the putty is almost exactly the width of the skewer.
    Skewers are all the same roughly, so this should work across slots etc.
    The downsides? It does leave you with a hole in your tiles, but a small one. If you use brown stuff or brown milliput this will be less obvious in colour.
    It also is a bit less stable than the magnets, because the hole HAS to be wider than the skewer to let it in, foam isn't tough enough on its own to hold the tree upright without breaking. Even with this technique you might need a significant amount of putty round the edges of tile holes to keep it secure.
    But it IS an option if you want it without magnets for some reason :)

      Thanks! That depends on how you make them, you can use embedded magnets instead of the blue tac holes shown previously, in which case a magnet in the bottom of road signs would hold it up.
      Things like the tall gibbet would be another matter though, really that would need a wider bit of balsa added around the bottom (maybe horizontal 1/4" strips) to hide a 6mm magnet to give it more hold :)

    There's a point in crafting where you have to make a choice between more details or completion. One thing I've learned; when you really think you should probably could do more, you should likely leave it alone. Easy to make more mistakes trying to cover a lack of attentiveness earlier.

      Definitely, luke towan uses it a lot, though its called something different over there. I recommend checking out his channel (luke towan) and taking a look at some of his tree videos, he uses seafoam in a fair few of them :)

    Oh I never thought about trees! Love that the trees have separate stump, trunk, and topper! So much versatility and if the trees are one piece, you can't use the terrain underneath otherwise. I especially love the double trunk idea!
    Did you use one tree topper as a template to make all of the trunks for the same connection point, or was each tree made individually and unique? #pompomshake

      Thanks man, glad you like the idea!
      I used one trunk of each size (small and large thickness) as a template for the rest :)

    I would recommend vallejo "IDF israeli Sand" primer. its a nice mid tone between brown and grey. i use it for most of my model bases with a wash and it looks great and you can get it in 200ml bottles 😉

    Matt, I am so loving your channel. And this one, though old, is exceptionally brilliant. Like you I hate blobby like trees. Just what I needed to find. I do have one question however. And please forgive me as I have not been looking at all your tutorial yet. So my question is; in watching this I see you plopping down your trees to your terrain pretty much anywhere. So do you have a metal sheet underneath your grass base, for the magnets to take to?? Or do you have many small magnets jumbled about the base??

    Thank you for your long work on the videos you have made. Is there a video you have done explaining the use of the magnets and the north or south poles of the magnets and why they are placed on the pieces as they are. I do know why the poles are opposite, as like poles repel but I am looking to share with my grandson. Thank You.

    • @RPArchiveOfficial

      I think I talk about it in the first magnetic building system video, basically you pick a side to be north when you first place a magnet, and just be consistent from there :)

    You've even considered free growth patterns and styles. Words actually fail me.

    Resting the drying rubber coated sea foam on a silicone mat might be a better idea. Almost nothing sticks to silicone.

    I guess latex activates the cyanoacrilate via hydroxilic (-OH) groups on the surface.
    Not sure on that, but CA starts polymerizing when water is present, so it makes sense...
